Polymer Mimetics is a joint venture between the University of Liverpool and Scott Bader Company Ltd, based in the Liverpool Science Park. It builds upon a new polymerisation process developed by Professor Steve Rannard from the University’s Department of Chemistry. The venture was launched in October 2019 with a commitment of almost £1 million in funding over 3 years from Scott Bader.
The technology takes widely available chemical building blocks and, in a highly scalable process, transforms them into superior performance polymeric products with the potential to engineer in degradability. It is envisaged that this new generation of materials will have broad applicability in several markets such as coatings, composites and speciality additives.
