Brunel Composites Centre (BCC) welcomes suprim paudel to the team! Suprim joined us on the 7th October and we caught up with him to see how he has settled in. Here is what Suprim shared with us... 'I’m thrilled to share that I’ve started my placement at BCC while pursuing my #Aerospace #Engineering #degree at Brunel University of London! It’s an incredible opportunity, and I’m excited to dive into this experience. With strengths in #CAD #design and #Finite #Element #Analysis, I look forward to engaging in hands-on #projects that #connect my #academic #knowledge to real-world applications in #aerospace and #technology. Outside of my studies, I enjoy e-sports, biking, and exploring #AI and tech through #coding. I can’t wait to learn and gain valuable #experience during my time at BCC!' We very much look forward to seeing how Suprim progresses and can't wait to see his future work! #newteammember #bruneluniversitylondon #BCC #opportunities

Brunel Composites Centre (BCC), Brunel University of London had the pleasure to host a HyPStore project meeting at their premises in TWI, Cambridge on the 27th of September. The UK consortium members attended the meeting which was accompanied by a tour of the facilities of TWI. The 21-month HyPStore project titled “Accelerating low-carbon Hydrogen Production and Safe storage for utilisation in mobility” has the vision to develop a game-changing, #innovative, and disruptive #solution, for the #production and #storage of liquid hydrogen enabling a new generation of mechanically robust #impermeable tanks with #enhanced #safety. The HyPStore UK consortium includes Graphene Innovations Manchester LTD (Lead) Marshall SLINGSBY ADVANCED COMPOSITES LIMITED Stratospheric Platforms Ltd First Graphene Limited (ASX: FGR) (UK) Queen Mary University of London Brunel Composites Centre (BCC), Brunel University of London The HyPStore Australian consortium includes Australia Sunlight Group University of Southern Queensland University of Melbourne The consortium has secured funding from #Innovate UK under reference number 10112900 through the UK-Australia #Renewable Hydrogen Innovation Partnership Programme.

It was with great pleasure that part of the UK consortium of #HyPStore including Graphene Innovations Manchester, First Graphene Limited (ASX: FGR) UK and Brunel Composites Centre (BCC), Brunel University of London was hosted by the Australian consortium, Australia Sunlight Group, University of Southern Queensland and University of Melbourne earlier in September in #Brisbane, #Australia. The trip involved tours at the facilities of Australia Sunlight, where the project partners had the opportunity to get familiarised with the process of #plastic #waste #recycling for the production of #low-carbon #hydrogen and #graphene. Tours also took place at the facilities of the University of Southern Queensland (UniSQ) Springfield Campus, and Toowoomba Campus, during which the project partners were shown the state-of-the-art capabilities of the involved technical groups. The 21-month #HyPStore project titled “Accelerating low-carbon Hydrogen Production and Safe storage for utilisation in mobility” has the vision to develop a game-changing, #innovative, and disruptive solution, for the production and storage of liquid hydrogen enabling a new generation of mechanically #robust #impermeable tanks with enhanced #safety.

📢 We are proud, to announce that our project TAPACO has been shortlisted by Composites UK - Trade Association for the Innovation in Composites Manufacture! 🎉 The TAPACO solution focuses on the use of the Thermally Assisted Piercing (TAP) technique to perforate the acoustic liners on the jet engine. TAPACO, a concept developed by Brunel Composites Centre, will enable the perforation of a one-piece acoustic liner without the need for drilling. Thermally Assisted Piercing (TAP), is a material displacement technique that has been used previously to create holes in composite materials without damaging the load-bearing fibres. In this technique, the thermoplastic composite material is heated which allows the movement of the fibres in the molten matrix. The TAP rig can then be pressed onto the composite material in order to displace the load-bearing fibres and create a hole pattern according to acoustic design specifications. The project is funded by an Innovate UK SMART grant, under grant agreement number 10034877. TAPACO consortium: Denroy (Coordinator) Brunel Composites Centre (BCC) Involute Engineering Spirit AeroSystems
