Universal Matter

Universal Matter (was Applied Graphene Materials) is proud to offer graphene nanoplatelet dispersions that are safe to handle and easily stirred into new and existing polymer and composite applications to provide a range of performance enhancing benefits.

With the correct incorporation, graphene nanoplatelets have the potential to significantly enhance an array of properties including mechanical, barrier, thermal, lubricating and electrical performance in new and existing industrial systems.

The company has found that the optimum way to introduce its graphene into a resin matrix is to incorporate them into a pre-dispersion, which can be diluted to suit the loading level required and ensure optimum performance gains. Offering GNPs in resins, solvents and other materials used in the composite system enables the end user to easily deploy the material in the final composite product.

University of Bristol – Bristol Composites Institute

At the Bristol Composites Institute we explore the manufacture, structural design and material properties of composites to address the overreaching grand challenges of sustainability and Net-Zero. The Bristol Composites Institute (BCI) has more than 240 staff and students, with an active grant portfolio of c. 25M. Academic capabilities are broad in scope and expertise includes: Process simulation and multi-scale modelling for optimised efficiency Novel composite manufacturing solutions for waste and cost reduction High-fidelity data-rich mechanical testing, for digital certification and model validation Materials discovery and sustainable material lifecycles Lightweight structures, leading to decarbonisation and Net-Zero BCI benefits from well-established major industry partnerships to support and exploit its research across sectors. The Institute is responsive to industry and engages with over 40 companies and SMEs as well as producing its own innovative spin-outs. Fundamental research is taken to higher Technology Readiness Levels (TRL) in close collaboration with the National Composites Centre (NCC) – an independently operated subsidiary of the University of Bristol. Examples of successful collaborations include the long-standing Composites University Technology Centre, supported by Rolls Royce, and a key role in delivering pioneering research into advanced materials as part of the national Defence Materials Centre of Excellence (DMEx), working with DSTL and the Henry Royce Institute. The Institute delivers world class training and education programmes in composites, including an internationally leading MSc course and doctoral training (PhD and EngD). Our current programmes: MSc in Advanced Composites Centre for Doctoral Training (CDT) in Innovation for Sustainable Composites Engineering The Industrial Doctorate Centre (IDC) in Composites Manufacture Centre for Doctoral Training (CDT) in Composites Science, Engineering and Manufacture
