EPSRC Capital Award for Core Equipment 2020/21

我们正在申请资金来购买一系列设备，主要有两个重点，支持EPS研究的几个领域，即气体分析和低分子量化学品和材料表征。化学物质（气体，小分子，离子）的量化和材料的物理特性是大量工程和物理科学研究的基本基础要求。因此，对所需设备的投资将使纽卡斯尔大学从事EPSRC科学研究的广泛研究人员受益。最高国际标准的研究依赖于高质量的定量测量，该设备将在epsrc相关科学的各个领域提供这一服务，包括能源研究、减缓气候变化、脱碳、催化、与生物医学工程相关的软物质分析、水和废物处理以及循环经济。

We are requesting funding to purchase a range of equipment with two main foci that support several areas of EPS research, namely analysis of Gases and Low Molecular Weight Chemicals and Materials Characterization. Quantification of chemicals (gases, small molecules, ions) and physical characterization of materials are fundamental underpinning requirements for a huge range of engineering and physical sciences research. Investment in the equipment requested will therefore benefit a wide range of researchers working on EPSRC science across Newcastle University. Research of the highest international standards relies on high quality quantitative measurement and the equipment will provide this across the spectrum of EPSRC-relevant science, spanning energy research, climate change mitigation, decarbonization, catalysis, soft matter analysis relevant to biomedical engineering, water and waste treatment and the circular economy.
