Events at the Henry Royce Institute

This course will introduce facilities and equipment in support of the material and mechanical evaluation of polymers and other biomaterials. It will include overviews of equipment from TA Instruments and explore the techniques used to collect and characterise biomaterial data. Case studies will showcase research conducted with the kit and highlight areas of capability within Royce’s facilities. Participants will be able to view equipment and gain basic demonstrations of it in action, as well as learn how to use TRIOS software to conduct analysis of their own data.

This course will provide an introduction to the use of spectroscopy in research into sustainable materials and plastics recycling. The content will explore currently available equipment, commonly used techniques, and practical approaches for use. It will cover the capabilities of Horiba’s spectroscopy instruments and how to best design experiments that answer key research and business questions. Research case studies will demonstrate recent examples of successful spectroscopy use in the identification and characterisation of materials. The course will also explore routes through which students, researchers, industry scientists and small businesses can access relevant equipment through Royce Access Schemes.

The Henry Royce Institute at the University of Manchester is hosting a full-day HAXPES showcase aimed at boosting industry engagement. Part of the institute’s mission is to provide access to the latest facilities and capability to UK companies, thereby catalysing industrial collaboration and exploitation of materials research.

To solve the grand challenges our society faces, we need to think differently. This is particularly true in established industries that produce the materials that form the basis of our economy – i.e. the Foundation Industries1. Inter-disciplinary collaboration between students and researchers will open up the possibility of innovative approaches to climate change and other global problems.

This workshop aims to bring together the local XPS user community to learn how to begin analysing XPS data.

This course will provide an introduction to energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) analysis for alloys.

This Seminar aims to promote the development and applications of computational methods in nuclear sciences and engineering. This is to share good practices with the nuclear industry in developing numerical methods and computer simulations. The Seminar includes invited speakers, special technology leaders and presentations from the nuclear industry, national institutions and academia.

This course will introduce BEX, a new analytical technique for scanning electron microscopes. The content will explore how the technique combines data from two imaging techniques to give topographic, crystallographic, atomic number and elemental information. 

This course will provide an introduction to advanced electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) technique in alloy imaging and characterisation. It will also provide an overview of the state-of-the-art facilities hosted by Royce at The University of Manchester, and other kit located with Royce partners. Routes to accessing Royce EBSD facilities will also be highlighted.
