Materials in a variety of forms ranging from simple plastics for packaging to high-tech engineered biocomposites for medical device applications form the core of a large number of businesses. Nonetheless, the structure-function relationship of the material in questions are often poorly understood making it difficult to optimise the synthesis and properties of a material. Standard empirical research methods are laborious, time-consuming and not ideal for optimising complex systems. HT technologies can overcome these problems by accelerating research and development through automated parallel formulation and characterisation. By providing clients with these HT technologies, CMD enables clients to increase experimental capability and obtain meaningful results within a fraction of the time required by standard empirical methods. This enhances research productivity and reduces time-to-market. As an integrated research and business facility, CMD is designed to underpin the rollout and use of HT Technologies across UK industry through tailored support for our clients.
