项目摘要

The UK engineering coatings industry is worth over £11bn and affects products worth £140bn. The vision of this project is to create internationally unique multi-purpose PVD/PECVD coatings system which will enable innovation in advanced science of future hybrid coatings. This new facility would be built on the existing Leeds coating platform capability and would create system with no similar functionality available internationally. Using existing Leeds coating platform we can already deposit carbides, nitrides and diamond-like carbide (DLC) coatings, and we are exploiting this mainly for tribological applications with automotive, energy and lubricant companies. With this investment, we will be able to additionally process novel nanocomposite coatings, next generation of DLC coatings (with incorporated nanoparticles), advanced optical coatings and sensor coatings, carry out functionalisation of powders, barrier layers, coatings on polymers and coatings on complex shapes. This proposal aligns with a major new initiative at the University of Leeds to create an integrated gateway to Physical Sciences and Engineering by investing in the collaborative Bragg Centre that will house new state-of-the-art research facilities for the integrated development, characterisation and exploitation of novel advanced functional materials. This proposal also coincides with Leeds University investment in the Nexus Centre - a hub for the local innovation community as well as national and international organisations looking to innovate and engage in world-leading research. The upgraded coating platform would play a strategic role in the UK Surface Engineering landscape and complement existing national facilities. It would form a part of the new Sir Henry Royce Institute for Advanced Materials, of which Leeds is a partner. The configuration of the new instrument is designed to be versatile and serve a wide range of internal and external users with widely different classes of advanced materials.A number of specific activities have been planned to ensure that potential beneficiaries have the opportunity to engage with new coating facility. The economic competitiveness of the UK's manufacturing industry will benefit from new, commercially exploitable IP in novel cutting-edge Surface Engineering technology. Members of an academic community and industry will be able to benefit directly from the proposed research and generated new knowledge. They will gain new skills and know-how related to the latest advancements of PVD technologies. Improved adoption of Surface Engineering will result in wider UK PLC economic and societal impacts associated with development of functional surfaces for automotive, aerospace, biomedical, healthcare, defence, agriculture, oil & gas and packaging industries.

英国工程涂料行业价值超过110亿英镑，影响的产品价值1400亿英镑。该项目的愿景是创造国际上独特的多用途PVD/PECVD涂料系统，这将使未来混合涂料的先进科学创新成为可能。这个新设施将建立在现有的利兹涂层平台能力的基础上，并将创建一个国际上没有类似功能的系统。利用现有的利兹涂层平台，我们已经可以沉积碳化物、氮化物和类金刚石碳化物（DLC）涂层，我们主要将其用于汽车、能源和润滑油公司的摩擦学应用。通过这笔投资，我们将能够额外加工新型纳米复合涂层，下一代DLC涂层（含纳米颗粒），先进的光学涂层和传感器涂层，进行粉末功能化，屏障层，聚合物涂层和复杂形状涂层。该提案与利兹大学的一项重大新举措相一致，通过投资合作布拉格中心，创建一个物理科学与工程的综合门户，该中心将容纳新的最先进的研究设施，用于综合开发、表征和开发新型先进功能材料。这一提议也与利兹大学对Nexus中心的投资不谋而合，Nexus中心是当地创新社区以及寻求创新和参与世界领先研究的国家和国际组织的中心。升级后的涂层平台将在英国表面工程领域发挥战略性作用，并补充现有的国家设施。它将成为新成立的亨利·罗伊斯爵士先进材料研究所的一部分，利兹大学是该研究所的合作伙伴之一。新仪器的配置被设计为多功能，并为广泛的内部和外部用户提供广泛不同类别的先进材料。已经计划了一些具体的活动，以确保潜在的受益者有机会参与新的涂层设施。英国制造业的经济竞争力将受益于新的、商业上可开发的尖端表面工程技术的知识产权。学术界和工业界的成员将能够从拟议的研究和产生的新知识中直接受益。他们将获得与PVD技术最新进展相关的新技能和专业知识。表面工程的改进采用将导致英国PLC更广泛的经济和社会影响，与汽车，航空航天，生物医学，医疗保健，国防，农业，石油和天然气以及包装行业的功能表面的发展有关。
