John Liddle, director of PowdermatriX Faraday, said: "I am delighted that PowdermatriX has the opportunity to benefit our members even further.
Belonging to an integrated Materials KTN will provide a broader vision of materials development.
Since late 2002, our services have brought tangible results to companies and researchers by actively promoting innovation.
For example, our Technology Translators have worked with companies identifying the best technical solutions and new opportunities.
Sector Technology Roadmaps identified the challenges and research priorities to secure the future of our key sectors.
The SPARK Award scheme has supported 28 companies on problem solving, 'proof-of-concept' studies and technology demonstration, either resulting directly in improved products and processes or leading to more extensive research.
Working within the Materials KTN, PowdermatriX Faraday now aims to contribute further to building a strong national strategy for materials and to increase our impact by expanding on our research portfolio and widening the network.".
