BRUNEL COMPOSITES INNOVATION CENTRE
The Brunel Composites Innovation Centre (BCC) is a shared research and technology capability specialising in novel composites processing and joining technologies, applied to industrial environments. It undertakes joint research programmes and aims to develop the next generation of technologies and engineers.
BCC will develop innovative methods for composites processing/joining across Technology Readiness Levels (TRLs) 1-6. This underpins TWI’s work across TRLs 4-6. Partnership with TWI gives the Centre the opportunity to work together with TWI Industrial Members.
The Centre will develop a financially sustainable research facility, drawing on existing strengths at Brunel University London to complement and underpin applied research and development activities at TWI.
OBJECTIVES � Create solutions for better processing and
joining of composites � De-risk innovation in composites for quick
industrial adoption � Establish a world leading reputation in
composites and joining
CORE AREAS � Microwave heating in composites
production � Joining of composites without mechanical
fastening � Adhesive bonding � Coatings for composites � Composites-metal joints � Novel processing of composites � Interface phenomena at composite surfaces
