ABOUT US

Materials Science facilities at UAL provide a framework for emerging as well as existing research capabilities in science and technology subjects. The University is a centre of excellence forink/substrate projects, as well as having a wider portfolio which included conservation science,colour imaging and document security. 

A considerable amount of research into the behaviour of prints and printing materials has been carried out at Camberwell College of Arts and the London College of Communication. This has resulted in a numerous researchpublications as well as the successful completion ofdoctoral research projects by eight PhD students. Their theses have been concerned with a wide range of topics related to the intersection of science with art, design and communication, including print recognition, stability of printed materials, ultrasonic deinking, conservation of 19th century watercolours and ink transfer mechanisms in flexographic printing.

In the specialist laboratories across the University, there is an outstanding range of powerful and up-to-datemeasurement and test equipment which is available for use by internal and external researchers.
