CHPP Consultancy Services
The Centre for High Performance Polymers (CHPP) has
strong links with the industry in terms of consultancy services (one-off or
ongoing QA services), short term research (single or staged projects) and longer
term blue sky research projects (focusing on industry-wide innovations) .
CHPP services are part of the wider Applied Materials Characterisation and
Performance (AMCP) services at UQ http://www.appliedmcp.com.au
(trading under UniQuest <http://www.uniquest.com.au/> – the consultancy arm of the University)
CHPP has produced an informative consultancy brochure
to market its expertise and facilities nationally and internationally.

“Requests for our services have increased tremendously
within the last few years, and we took this as a signal to reorganise things
and be more innovative” explained Pete Halley, the Director of the Centre.
“The success of our CRC-sponsored research on biodegradable plastics, which
laid the foundation for a commercial venture, points to what can be achieved
through University-Industry interactions” he continued. Many research studies
are known to have spun-off from consultancies, and the Centre’s initiative in
this regard will contribute to its research capabilities.
Timothy Nicholson from the CHPP senior leadership group
mentions “We target the chemical, polymer, food and pharmaceutical industries
in Australia and Asia-Pacific region. With more than $2 million worth of
equipment ranging from modulated differential scanning calorimetry (MDSC),
Karl Fischer moisture testers, viscometers and rheometers (ARES and RDSII),
Haake™ minilab (mini-extruder), Eurolab™ 19 twin-screw extruder, Entek 27mm
twin screw extruder, Demag 80tonne injection moulding machine, the Centre is
fully equipped to provide quality and prompt services at moderate costs.”
