About Materials and Engineering Research Institute

Materials and Engineering Research Institute (MERI)
MERI is a dynamic interdisciplinary research institute dedicated to addressing industrial problems through the application of fundamental science and engineering.

Our experienced team has a highly successful track record applying cutting edge research to find innovative solutions to industry problems.

Contact MERI for any materials analysis or testing need. Our experts can advise on issues relating to design, failure, corrosion, mechanical strength and coatings.

Consultancy
Consultancy projects can be as short and simple or in-depth as you like.

Our consultancy team has an excellent track record of working with industry to find solutions in a short deadline and to a high standard.

      Ceramics and glass
      Our ceramics experts have a wealth of knowledge and experience, and access to cutting edge spectroscopic and analytical techniques. This lends itself to the investigation and development of these fascinating and vitally important materials.

      Corrosion and structural integrity
      We offer expert corrosion analysis and testing services of all types of corrosion problems. Our experienced team of corrosion experts are at hand to analyse any degree of corrosion problem and with the help of our advanced corrosion testing facilities we can identify your problem and formulate a solution.

      Our areas of expertise include:
      • fatigue and fracture of materials
      • corrosion fatigue
      • multi-axial fatigue
      • fretting Fatigue
      • crack growth and monitoring

      Polymers and Nanocomposites
      We strive to develop materials that offer:
      • improved barrier, physical and mechanical properties
      • improved heat, corrosion and solvent resistance
      • weight reduction
      • enhanced recyclability
      • increased quality products with reduced production costs

      We specialise in:
      • materials modelling
      • polymers and nanocomposites
      • oilfield chemistry and cements
      • pharmaceuticals
