The NMPLAS project is focused on an innovation in the Materials and Manufacturing high growth sector and will apply a cutting edge and innovative, high throughput coating process - Microwave Plasma Assisted Sputtering (MPAS), to produce infrared (IR) transparent and hard, wear/erosion resistant coatings, which are themselves an innovation in materials development. The coatings will be applied on an expanded range of thermally sensitive and strategic substrates, which will initially be exploited in the optical and automotive high value manufacturing sectors, thereby opening up new sustainable business for the partners and increasing the UK's competitiveness, in addition to the transfer of techology to the industrial partners in the project (enabling a step-change in capability for an SME) and opportunities for future growth in capital equipment sales. This business-led project brings together three industrial partners from these sectors, Teer Coatings Limited (TCL), Qioptiq Limited (QUK) and the SME Helia Photonics Ltd (HPL), with the University of the West of Scotland (UWS), who have pioneered the MPAS process.

NMPLAS 项目专注于材料和制造高增长领域的创新，并将应用尖端、创新、高通量的涂层工艺——微波等离子辅助溅射 (MPAS)，来生产红外 (IR) 透明、坚硬、耐磨/耐腐蚀涂层，这本身就是材料开发的一项创新。这些涂层将应用于扩大范围的热敏性和战略性基材，这些基材最初将用于光学和汽车高价值制造领域，从而为合作伙伴开辟新的可持续业务并提高英国的竞争力，此外还可以向项目中的工业合作伙伴转让技术（使中小企业的能力实现阶跃变化）并为资本设备销售的未来增长提供机会。这个以商业为主导的项目汇集了来自这些领域的三个工业合作伙伴：Teer Coatings Limited (TCL)、Qioptiq Limited (QUK) 和 SME Helia Photonics Ltd (HPL)，以及率先推出 MPAS 流程的西苏格兰大学 (UWS)。
