项目摘要

This five-year Prosperity Partnership programme will build upon and deepen the successful relationship that exists between the University of Exeter and QinetiQ. We will develop advanced materials that can be used to control and manipulate the propagation of electromagnetic and acoustic energy in a highly tailored, bespoke fashion, and develop innovative techniques for their cost-effective manufacture.Materials that have the ability to fully control and manipulate the flow of electromagnetic (e.g. radiated heat, light, radiowaves) and acoustic (e.g. sound, vibration, shock) energy have the potential to transform, and enable, a large and diverse range of technologies. Exeter and QinetiQ have long been at the forefront of the science and engineering of such materials, with recent examples being: the modification of wind turbines to reduce their interference with meteorological and aviation radar systems, where half of the viable wind-farm sites in the UK are currently blocked for this reason, and the development of new optoelectronic materials for the realisation of beyond ultra-high definition displays.However, there are still significant challenges prohibiting the widespread take up of these new materials in applications. In particular, concepts developed in the laboratory are often incompatible with commercial manufacture, due to their complexity and the nature of the constituent parts. Instead, the basic science that describes the behaviour of these new materials needs to be combined with a detailed understanding of how such materials could be manufactured, so that new materials can be designed and engineered to tackle specific technological challenges using commercially viable approaches. The objective of this Partnership is to bring together leading advanced materials and manufacturing research at Exeter and QinetiQ to address real technology and innovation challenges.Through the exchange of staff, the shared used of facilities and an emphasis on the training of a new generation of entrepreneurial researchers, we will work across conventional discipline and institutional boundaries to accelerate the impact of academic research. The outcome of the programme will be a sustainable, long term partnership, underpinned by revenue created through the creation of products, or the licensing of intellectual property. The resulting research and technology pipeline will underpin future innovation, leading to the creation of additional high tech UK jobs and economic impact through spin-outs and joint ventures.

这个为期五年的繁荣伙伴关系计划将建立在埃克塞特大学和QinetiQ之间存在的成功关系的基础上，并加深这种关系。我们将开发先进的材料，可用于控制和操纵电磁和声能的传播，在一个高度定制，定制的方式，并开发创新技术，其成本效益的制造。材料，有能力完全控制和操纵电磁流，能量（例如辐射热、光、无线电波）和声学（例如声音、振动、冲击）具有改造和实现大量不同技术的潜力。埃克塞特和QinetiQ长期以来一直处于此类材料科学和工程的前沿，最近的例子是：改造风力涡轮机以减少对气象和航空雷达系统的干扰，目前英国一半可行的风电场站点因此被封锁，并开发新型光电材料以实现超高清显示。然而，仍然存在着重大的挑战，阻碍了这些新材料在应用中的广泛采用。特别是，由于其复杂性和组成部分的性质，在实验室中开发的概念往往与商业制造不兼容。相反，描述这些新材料行为的基础科学需要与对如何制造这些材料的详细了解相结合，以便可以设计和工程新材料，以使用商业上可行的方法来应对特定的技术挑战。该合作伙伴关系的目标是将埃克塞特和QinetiQ领先的先进材料和制造研究聚集在一起，以应对真实的技术和创新挑战。通过人员交流，共享设施，并强调培养新一代创业研究人员，我们将跨越传统学科和机构界限，加速学术研究的影响。该计划的结果将是一个可持续的，长期的伙伴关系，通过创造产品或知识产权许可创造的收入为基础。由此产生的研究和技术管道将支撑未来的创新，通过分拆和合资企业创造更多的高科技英国就业机会和经济影响。
