Transforming 'green' chemicals into sustainable polymers, resins, elastomers, and adhesives by exploring a range of polymerizations, including scalable condensation/addition reactions and heterocycle/CO2 ring-opening (co)polymerizations, and integrating them with renewable power. The overall polymer design will encompass explicit consideration of product re-use, re-manufacturing, recycling, and, where relevant, biodegradation.

Developing multi-phase manufacturing process chemistry and engineering, integrated with renewable power to design for grid intermittency, better process heat management, and fuel cells for chemical plants. Establishing robust, scalable and re-configurable future manufacturing systems for both batch and flow operations.

Assessments integrated with technical and theoretical results from research across work packages.

We can provide WSE’s for pressure systems, which is required under the Pressure Systems Safety regulations 2000.

X-Pulse 90 is a revolutionary new benchtop nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectrometer that brings broadband NMR to the benchtop at 90 MHz for the first time. X-Pulse 90 is the ideal instrument for flexible chemical analysis, across a wide variety of applications, as it enables investigation of the largest number of nuclei without compromising performance. X-Pulse 90 continues the X-Pulse ethos of modularity, versatility, and upgradeability, and as such can be tailored to your needs, for example, with a flow cell to monitor real-time reactions, or the addition of variable temperature capability. Additionally, the unique, user exchangeable probe enables the setup to be easily changed depending on the requirements (e.g. highest signal to noise (SNR) performance versus multiple nuclei), as well as ease of access for cleaning. X-Pulse’s unique features that will benefit your workflow: - Broadband capability enables the largest number of nuclei to be measured on a benchtop NMR spectrometer without compromising sensitivity - A wide variable temperature range option of 0-60°C allowing users to thoroughly investigate reaction kinetics or characterise electrolyte properties - The orientation of the diffusion gradient ensures accurate measurement, even in flow experiments - User exchangeable probes mean no compromise between versatility and sensitivity - User removeable probe ensures minimal machine downtime for breakages and spills

X1 Series The X1 Series by G.M. International is a compact and versatile range of interfaces designed for universal marshalling in high-risk industries. It integrates pass-through modules, galvanic isolators, converters, relays, and intrinsically safe (IS) modules, making it a comprehensive solution for managing industrial signals in hazardous environments. Built to meet stringent functional safety (SIL 2 & SIL 3) standards, the X1 Series ensures maximum system reliability while minimizing maintenance efforts and cabinet footprint. The series features polarization keys to prevent incorrect module placement, a redundant 24Vdc power supply, and an integrated gateway for remote access, configuration, and SIL3 HART multiplexing.
