Research Interests
Dr Peter Martin is Director of the Polymer Processing Research Centre at Queen's University
Research Focus
He has more than 25 years’ experience of research into a wide range of polymer materials and processing techniques. In particular, he has expertise in the development of manufacturing processes for novel applications, the influence of processing on polymer behaviour and final properties, and the automation and simulation of these processes. This includes extensive work on a wide variety of advanced manufacturing technologies applied to extrusion, thermoforming, blow moulding and rotational moulding of polymer and polymer composite materials.
Expertise related to UN Sustainable Development Goals
In 2015, UN member states agreed to 17 global Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) to end poverty, protect the planet and ensure prosperity for all. This person’s work contributes towards the following SDG(s):
