Centre for Materials Innovation and Future Fashion (CMIFF)
CMIFF brings together senior researchers in material technology, design and enterprise research within the School of Fashion & Textiles to research, develop and apply design and materials innovation to address real world problems of health, wellbeing, protection, performance, sustainability and cultural experience.
This group research, develop and apply design and materials innovation to address real world problems of health, wellbeing, protection, performance, sustainability and cultural experience.
Research in this area creates two-dimensional electronic devices, micro and nano devices for resistive switching, sensors for human health and food safety, and gas sensors and membranes for greenhouse emission study.
Research in this area develops new nano and micro dimensional materials, which are incorporated into sensors, actuators, energy harvesting systems and solar cells.
Research in this area develops systems for microbial analysis, and systems based on liquid metals with incorporated nano particles.
CMIFF operates through six connected clusters.
