Chemical Recycling of PET Plastic Using Thermo-Responsive Catalyst Supports

There is an urgent need to devise processes for recycling plastics, with an estimated 460 million metric tonnes of plastics being utilised worldwide in 2019 alone, of which only 10% is recycled globally, the remainder going to incineration, landfill or export. Read more

Sustainable recycling of end-of-life electric vehicle batteries

Project: The age of the electric car is all but upon us. Billions of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) are reaching their lifetime along with the widespread application of electric vehicles. Read more

PhD in Chemistry: Chemical recycling of insulation foam for a circular economy of the construction polymers

Insulation foams are ubiquitous in the construction sector, with applications in cavity wall, under-floor, and roof insulation. Whilst insulation foams have provided enormous benefit to heat efficiency, there is much work to do before a viable circular economy is attained. Read more

PhD in Automated Eddy Currents Inspection of Dry Carbon Fibre/Fabric for Composite Manufacturing and Recycling

Background. From the 110,000 tonnes of composites produced in the UK each year, currently, only 15% will be reused or recycled at the end of their life and the rest are transferred to ever-growing landfills [4]. Read more

Graphene composites from recycling lithium-ion batteries

Rechargeable lithium-ion batteries are widely commercially used in portable electronic devices, power tools, medical devices, hybrid/electric vehicles due to their relatively low weight, high energy density, high operating voltage and low discharge rate. Read more

Novel epoxy-thermoset polymers for sustainable and recyclable applications (ref: SF22/HLS/APP/UNTHANK)

Epoxy thermoset polymers are essential for the creation of high-performance materials, plastics, coatings and composites and have important applications in renewable infrastructure (wind turbine blades), structural adhesives and lightweight aerospace composites (for more energy efficient travel). Read more

Product design optimisation for automated disassembly and recycling

In order to tackle the triple planetary crisis of climate change, air pollution and biodiversity loss, the current linear economy, which adheres to a take-make-use-dispose philosophy, is being transformed into a circular economy, aims to make more effective use of resources and thus creating a zero waste and emission ecosystem.

Assessing the impact of sterilisation on the usability of medical plastic waste

The burden of medical plastic waste has become an increasingly pressing concern in recent years. The healthcare industry relies heavily on single-use plastic items due to their convenience and hygiene factors, but this has led to a significant environmental problem. Read more
