About

Better materials, made responsibly.

We work with research groups and industry partners to turn new polymers and processes into practical technology.

Our work expands what polymer science can do about pressing problems: polymers that are sustainable, biodegradable and recyclable; better ways of manufacturing the polymers we already use; and new uses for them across industry.

We look for new polymerisation techniques, develop advanced processing methods, and study how structure governs the properties of polymeric materials.
