- Collaborative work with ICCAS Beijing from a relationship built on RCUK Science Bridges China funding (EP/G042365/1 £1245k) to study the fundamental crystallisation behaviour of long chain aliphatic polyamides, which are a family of promising biodegradable polymers for packaging applications. The work was performed using techniques developed within the EU MC ITN MICROMAN N° 674801 (€3.5M) project and the results of this paper led to further research funding success in partnership with the Universities of Leeds and Sheffield (EP/P005403/1 £938k) to investigate fundamental behaviours of polymer molecules and subsequent crystallisation behaviour in shear flows.
