Exhibitor Spotlight: Queen Mary University of London
Monday, 19 May 2025
Queen Mary University of London are exhibiting at The Advanced Materials Show on Booth 832.
What advanced materials do you specialise in?
Our advanced materials research portfolio is broad, with excellence in polymer composite processing, ceramics engineering, energy materials, bioceramics, coatings, graphene and mechanical metamaterials. We also work on a range of functional devices, systems and modelling. This is all supported by state-of-the-art facilities.
Please explain the benefits of your speciality.
Having materials science embedded in our engineering department enables us to develop advanced materials and integrate them into devices and systems.
Are there any exciting developments that is happening within the industry or your company that you can share with us?
There’s such a diverse range of stuff happening at the moment. Our materials technologies have recently been spun out to develop aerosol-assisted CVD (Aerosolar) and electroforming manufacturing technology (Ultima Forma), and these operate over multiple sectors. We’ve made huge advances in scalable superhydrophobic coatings, redox flow batteries, methane emission monitoring and more.
We’re seeing huge benefits from our new Xenocs Nano-inXider SAXS/WAXD system, which can characterise materials from the atomic scale (1 Angstrom) to ~200 nm in a single measurement. It’s capable of measurements that would usually require time on a synchrotron facility, so can massively reduce material development time and cost.
Our new MagMat facility is now up and running and is a unique capability in the UK for the synthesis and processing of materials in strong magnetic fields (up to 15T). This is allowing access to uniquely textured ceramic materials.
Our Green Energy Hub opened in 2025, bringing together our renewable energy and battery research into a single location with new material deposition facilities.
If attendees should know one thing about your company, what would it be?
The quality of our engineering research was ranked 2nd in the UK, and 4th in the UK for turning research into world-changing companies. whilst social mobility of our students is been ranked 1st in the UK.
What will you be showcasing at your stand at The Advanced Materials Show?
We’ll showcase a broad range of our materials, processing, device and battery research. Members of business and research teams will be at our stand to discuss ways to work together.
What are you most looking forward to at The Advanced Materials Show?
Interesting discussions and seeing how other innovators are pushing the state-of-the-art.
