Three-year-old Powdermatrix Faraday to develop its work within the recently launched Materials Knowledge Transfer Network.

Powdermatrix Faraday will be developing its work within the recently launched Materials Knowledge Transfer Network (KTN).

Since its formation three years ago, Powdermatrix Faraday has built a network of more than 200 organisations for particulate engineering, focusing particularly on the advanced ceramic, powder metal, hard metal and magnetics industries.

KTNs are part of the DTI's Technology Programme, which has been developed as a direct result of the recent innovation review.

KTNs encourage industry and academia to work together to bring new products and processes to the market.

The Materials KTN is the largest grouping and includes the Faraday partnerships of advance, packaging, plastics, and technical textiles plus the Smart Materials Surfaces and Structures Network, and the National Composites Network.

John Liddle, Director of Powdermatrix Faraday, said: "I am delighted that Powdermatrix has the opportunity to benefit our members even further".

"Belonging to an integrated Materials KTN will provide a broader vision of materials development".

"Since late 2002, our services have brought tangible results to companies and researchers by actively promoting innovation".

"The Spark Award scheme has supported 28 companies on problem solving, proof-of-concept studies and technology demonstration, either resulting directly in improved products and processes or leading to more extensive research".

"Working within the Materials KTN, Powdermatrix Faraday will now contribute further to building a strong national strategy for materials and we aim to increase our impact by expanding on our research portfolio and widening the network".
