This research project, scheduled to start mid 2015, is enabled by an &amp;pound;599,168 grant from the UK government’s Innovate UK and complements previous projects co-funded by the TSB (now Innovate UK). The programme of research will be performed across the consortium members' facilities in Peterborough, Birmingham and Loughborough.</ns2:abstractText></ns2:project>
