Materials Science Research Centre
The Materials Science Research Centre brings together five different groups. It is equipped with a range of specialist instrumentation. The research activity attracts funding from a range of sources including research councils, EU, UK and Welsh Assembly Government and directly from industry.
Professor Peter Williams is the director of the Materials Science Research Centre. He has over 30 years of experience in the synthesis, physicochemical characterisation, solution and interfacial properties of polysaccharides and other water soluble polymers. He has attracted major funding through EPSRC, BBSRC, TSB, EU and DEFRA. He has published over 180 research papers and edited over 30 books. He is the Editor-in-Chief of the international journal "Food Hydrocolloids", which is concerned with the characterisation, properties and applications of macromolecules used in foods and an editorial board member of "Carbohydrate Polymers".
