Breaking down polymers for global sustainability

Dr Janet Scott, who is leading a transatlantic project to tackle effective recycling of polymers, shares her passion for science with us.

Creating cheaper, flexible and sustainable solar cells

Our researchers are developing new, more sustainable materials that could make solar power a more viable technology worldwide.

Responsive antimicrobial burn dressing developed

Our scientists have developed a medical dressing that 'lights up' when a burn is infected.

Getting ready to retyre

Professor of Chemistry, Matthew Jones, talks about finding a new catalytic route from ethanol to butadiene.

Analytical

Characterising complex chemical mixtures and selective molecule detection.

Health

Investigating and improving healthcare challenges.

Interfaces

Exploring the boundaries between the different states of matter.

Materials

Designing and producing novel materials.

Transformations

Studying all aspects of chemical reactions.

Material and Chemical Characterisation Facility (MC²)

We combine cutting-edge analytical equipment with extensive in-house expertise to provide a comprehensive material and chemical characterisation service.

Materials and Structures Centre

We develop and design innovative materials with unique properties to improve technological, structural and manufacturing products and processes.

David Bullett Nanofabrication Facility

We provide access and training on specialist equipment for micro-scale and nano-scale fabrication for University of Bath researchers and external organisations.

Doctoral College

We support and enrich the experience of our doctoral researchers and play a key role in developing policy and strategy relevant to doctoral study.

Centre for Doctoral Training in Sustainable & Circular Technologies

Doctoral training programme which places fundamental concepts of sustainability at the core of research, training and outreach in applied chemical sciences.
