- The Coronavirus pandemic has highlighted the need to have full confidence in the functional competency of polymeric materials in personal protective equipment. Similarly, maintaining functional integrity of polymeric materials is critical in many other applications and industries. This research, developed with TWI Ltd., has developed a novel algorithm that uses experimental permeation measurements to support design choices and estimate polymer lifetimes in product development, as well as a potentially transformative early-warning tool for identifying degradation of polymer barriers. Further work continues to translate this into practical applications at TWI (bernadette.craster@twi.co.uk).
