Polymer and Colloid Chemistry

The Key Centre of Polymer Colloids has expertise strengths in the synthesis and characterisation of polymers and polymer colloids. The KCPC is internationally recognised for the measurements and theoretical modeling of polymerisation processes. The use of ultrasonic techniques for the characterisation of colloids was pioneered by members of the School and has led to the development of commercial instrumentation for monitoring colloid size. There is extensive collaboration with the chemical industries and food industries in the area of polymer chemistry and polymer colloids.
