Knowledge Centre for Materials Chemistry

The Knowledge Centre for Materials Chemistry (KCMC), part of CPI, accelerates valuable R&D collaborations between business and academics in the chemistry-using industries. It does this to encourage and develop product and process innovations in advanced materials faster, at reduced cost and risk. The KCMC team, spread across partner universities in the UK, offers great knowledge and experience of materials chemistry in both academia and industry to facilitate innovation partnerships. The work of KCMC creates collaborations in materials chemistry and advanced materials that otherwise would not have happened, and has been shown to deliver direct impact on business performance and boost the UK economy.
