Description

The University of Manchester wishes to purchase gas permeability equipment for testing permeability of films, predominantly polymer films. This scientific equipment will be housed within the sustainable materials innovation hub at the University of Manchester.

It will achieve this by bringing together material science expertise and business intelligence to offer a defined workflow of 'Advice,' 'Assess' and 'Innovate' to understand where businesses can make efficiencies, realise opportunities and avoid unintended consequences in their plastics management. This equipment will be housed in one of three interlinking laboratories supporting the capability to characterise, synthesise and process polymers, facilitating innovation in new sustainable polymers, improved methods of recycling and validation of emerging sustainable materials that appear on the market.
