Our EPSRC network aims to make the UK an international beacon for multiscale porous materials research, where we'll form new collaborations, find new research directions, offer expert advice, and commercialise innovations.
Porous materials research is extremely diverse and includes:
The variety of applications is equally wide ranging including:
With such diverse areas and applications, we need combined expertise across multiple science and engineering disciplines, and access to specialist characterisation facilities to study both pore sizes and phenomena that can span multiple scales. A single institution cannot cover the full range of expertise, facilities and applications; only a combined effort will see success.
Our EPoMM network aims to foster multiscale and applications-led collaboration between scientists and engineers that spans the entire engineering and physical sciences portfolio. These collaborations will inspire new research directions and new applications to achieve globally significant outcomes with academic, commercial and societal benefits.
Multidisciplinary collaboration is at the heart of what we do and by the end of the grant, we will have created a self-sustaining network of porous media experts. We'll be able to work collaboratively to respond to industry needs, provide dissemination and horizon scanning for new and emerging applications.
The EPoMM network is supported by EPSRC (Project No. EP/X013065/1) and builds on a GW4 pump-priming Generator Award that created the GWPore community.
