Results of this research programme will form the basis of updated guidelines distributed to the galvanising industry worldwide, through ILZRO and its associated member state organisations, project manager for the EPSRC/ILL/ESRF funded joint user support Facility for Materials Engineering at the ILL-ESRF, Grenoble, France with major impact on use of synchrotron and neutron radiation strain scanning in aerospace and other industries (BAe, Rolls-Royce, Dunlop, Corus).
• AR Harper, J Summerscales and N Brooks (assigned to Alan R Harper, Susan Boulton and Glyn Goddard)
  British Patent GB 2 432 336A Production of composite mouldings, published 23 May 2007. This patent describes a novel route to permit in-mould gel-coating of fibre-reinforced polymer matrix composite mouldings, reducing emissions of volatile organic compounds to >1% of the open-mould gel-coating level and hence making a significant contribution to the sustainability of the composites industry. Development of the process is currently funded by DTI Technology Programme under the call Meeting the Challenge of the Zero Emission Enterprise.
