- Additional information
- This EPSRC-funded work (EP/I012060), made significant progress in understanding how molecules diffuse at an interface and laid the foundation for a major EPSRC research grant (EP/P007864/1; £2M). The protocol developed is currently used to understand how plasticisers migrate in formulated products, a substantial challenge to companies; e.g. P&G, Mondelez and AkzoNobel. According to Dr Zhanping Zhang, Section Head of Analytical (P&G), “the method and capabilities you demonstrated can be a great addition and enabler to the PVA journey”. The fluorescence technique is currently used to understand the packaging materials under development at P&G for tackling sustainability related challenges (contacts available)
