-
Expert was the principle grant holder of the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) project on the production of 3D nonwovens. 3D nonwovens shapes can now be produced in a single process without the need of cutting and reassembling. This eliminates wastage and significantly reduces production costs. The project attracted joint funding from EPSRC and industry of over £320,000.
