Foamed Biodegradable TPEs

Extrusion processing and development of biodegradable lightweight injection mouldable plastics. Under development are fully home compostable food packaging, e.g. disposable coffee cup lids and masterbatch that can be let down into these applications for injection moulding and for thermoforming of extruded sheets. The funding underwrites 10% including overheads of Prof Fern's support research projects with Sebi (Park Royal IAA) and BWC. This is for research since consultancy projects are funded separately, e.g. testing of graphene enhanced packaging currently also live.
