- Additional information
- A £0.75M EPSRC proposal (EP/M020851/1) was successfully applied for and completed producing an instrument to generate and process data based on the theory presented in this paper. This instrument (unique in the world) has subsequently been used by major multinationals including PepsiCo, Unilever, Procter and Gamble and Nestle to evaluate their next generation of materials for polymer bottles. A joint presentation with PepsiCo at the Annual Blow Moulding Conference in 2019 demonstrated the use of the instrument in aiding the design of a lightweight container with a new packaging material.
