At Technical Fibre Products we believe that creative and robust material research activities are essential for long-term commercial success. As a result, we are involved in a wide variety of collaborative research projects with academia and other industrial partners, often with government support. Our research activities support the development of high performance, innovative material solutions for a diverse range of applications.
Our Research and Technical (R&T) teams comprise scientists, technologists, engineers and support staff. Their expertise is unique and their ability to build strong, productive collaborations with both internal and external partners is unrivalled.
The R&T teams specialise in investigating the development of next generation product designs and technology, and also support such innovations to full commercialisation. Our purpose-built facilities include a pilot line, laboratory scale manufacturing equipment and a development laboratory which houses state-of-the-art testing and analytical tools. Additionally, through collaborative programmes, we have access to several international Centres of Excellence.
More generally, our Research and Technical projects can be categorised as follows:
Fundamental research
Fundamental research projects are usually carried out in collaboration with academic institutes and other research-focussed groups. These projects are aimed at developing and understanding next generation materials and technologies.
Applied research
Our applied research projects support the development of innovative materials or processes for technology demonstration of specific industrial applications. Projects of this type usually involve the collaboration of both industrial and academic partners, and promote knowledge transfer to achieve common goals.
Experimental development
Experimental development projects draw on the knowledge gained in fundamental and/or applied research projects in order to support the full commercialisation of a materials based solution.
We would welcome the opportunity to share our knowledge and expertise to achieve mutually beneficial goals, please contact us to discuss possible areas of collaboration.
