Summary on Grant Application Form |
|
The applicants direct the work of the Centre for Complex Fluids Processing at University of Wales Swansea. The Centre has established an internationally leading reputation in membrane separation processes and rheometry, and further has a widely acknowledged and substantial level of expertise in the areas of colloids and interfaces, cavitation and atomic force microscopy. We have been able to achieve a critical mass in terms of staffing, technical breadth and quality of output. The development of our work has now reached a critical point. To make further substantial progess we need to create the opportunity for researching in depth the latest understanding and techniques in allied areas of science and engineering and to apply our knowledge and techniques to emerging areas of process technology, including the life sciences. For these reasons the Platform Grant scheme is especially opportune to our needs. The grant would be used to provide a strategic base for the advancement of our work through the simultaneous development of theoretical insight and experiment. Further, it would allow the use of our knowledge across an increasingly wide subject and application base,leading to collaboration with industry, materials engineers and medical personnel.
