John Heathcoat & Co, based in Tiverton, Devon, will help develop the prototype material, which will then be further tested by the Home Office Scientific Development Branch (HOSDB). There the material will be put into test chambers behind glass panels and subjected to an explosive blast to test its ability to minimise the penetration of glass into the chamber.
John Heathcoat & Co Ltd has an international reputation for innovation and quality, supplying a range of apparel and high technology technical textiles to diverse markets around the world.
Auxetix is able to supply bespoke licences for our unique auxetic materials technologies - we can also provide specialist technical consultancy to support our customers through the initial phases of developing new commercial markets.
Exeter University Foundation is the main channel through which alumni and other friends can help to support and develop the University. In its short history it has raised nearly £30 million.
