The funding given to the Universities of Nottingham and Bristol to anchor cutting-edge composites manufacturing research in the UK is for the Future Composites Manufacturing Hub (FCM Hub). The aim is to develop the next generation of composites technologies and train the people required to deliver those innovations.
The grant which comes to support the FCM Hub has the target of delivering research outputs to enable “Moore’s law for composites” i.e. a doubling in production capability every two years for high performance polymer composites.
