Partnership

University of Bolton-Speciality Composites Research Group

The Speciality Composites Research Group performs research and innovation activities into high performance composite materials and systems through improved functionality. The group is a core partner within the NW Composites Centre and draws on the expertise and experience from teams performing research into Fire Retardant Materials, Auxetic Materials, Smart Materials and Systems, Technical Textiles, Materials Modelling and Simulation, MEMS, and Materials Chemistry. The group collaborates with the Mechanical Structures Research Group at the university, and also with other leading universities and industrial partners to deliver novel composite materials innovations for automotive, aerospace, marine, defence and related sectors, including:

• fire resistant structural composites
• functional thermoplastic composites
• technical fibre integrated lightweight structures
• reduced thermal distortion components
• embedded micro-sensing and actuating systems
• gradient systems for morphing and adaptive structures
• dental healthcare composites
• personal protective wearable and antiballistic composite systems
