Description

The University of Manchester wishes to purchase a reactor suite, comprising a batch reactor and a flow reactor. This scientific equipment will be housed within the sustainable materials innovation hub at the University of Manchester. We seek two capabilities to support our work; a batch reactor and a flow reactor. The capabilities are to be used for the synthesis and innovations in the area of sustainable materials. It is expected that this equipment will form part of a wider materials characterisation workflow, which will be of interest to various research organisations (including SMEs and Large industry). Consequently, working to (ISO or ASTM) protocols is of interest, as well as, handling different material types and sizes.

The Royce equipment fund is part financed by the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) funds having been awarded under the 2014-2020 Priority Axis 1: Sustainable Plastic Innovation in Greater Manchester (OC15R19P 0903)
