Materials research
Research in materials is directed towards processing, properties and performance together with the associated manufacturing technologies. There is considerable synergy between the materials processing research and manufacturing technology through the Innovative Manufacturing Research Centre (IMRC) at Cranfield.
Research in composites has benefited from a £2.3M investment of SRIF funding to refurbish the lightweight structures laboratories and impact testing facilities.
