Advanced composite materials are at the core of aerospace, automotive, defence, and construction innovation and this centre gives students direct access to the tools and processes that make them.
The lab is equipped for the synthesis, testing, and characterisation of composite materials, including a programmable muffle furnace operating up to 1400°C, a wear testing tribometer, an impact testing machine, an inverted metallurgical microscope, and an injection moulding machine.
Beyond equipment, the centre is positioned as a hub for industry partnership, helping companies develop new composite-based products and improve existing manufacturing processes, while preparing students for one of the fastest-growing fields in advanced manufacturing.
