Explore seven key factors affecting barrier coating performance, from formulation stability and substrate influence to scalability.

Explore where PFAS are used in cars, from interiors and seals to EV batteries, and how alternatives are emerging.

Digital Product Passports are reshaping UK materials innovation, market access and supply chain traceability as ESPR changes product data rules.

PFAS are under scrutiny, but replacing them is complex, requiring full reformulation to maintain performance, not simple substitution.

Can biology help tackle PFAS? Advances in enzymes, microbes and synthetic biology are opening new possibilities for removing these ​“forever chemicals”.

Explore new technologies transforming how PFAS is detected, captured and destroyed in the final article of our three‑part innovation series.

The UK’s green goals are at risk as chemistry skills decline, making stronger training, industry partnerships and SME support vital to drive innovation.

PFAS contamination is driving demand for technologies to detect, remove and destroy these forever chemicals amid growing regulatory and scientific focus.

Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are a growing UK environmental concern. Explore the scale of the problem and the policy action driving change.

Fibre-based packaging is emerging as a sustainable alternative to plastics, but better barrier performance is key to replacing fossil-based materials.

Translating chemical processes from the lab to an industrial scale is a complex task, often fraught with risks and challenges.
