PowdermatriX Helps the Pharmaceutical Sector

PowdermatriX activities have shown that particulate engineering concerns the pharmaceutical sector as well as advanced materials.

In just three years, PowdermatriX has built an effective network of over 200 organisations for particulate engineering. Although focused particularly on the advanced ceramic, powder metal, hard metal and magnetics industries and their customers, both large and start-up pharmaceutical companies have benefited from our services and projects.

As part of the DTI Materials Knowledge Transfer Network, PowdermatriX can also help you access experts in almost every aspect of materials technology; packaging, plastics, textiles and composites.

Our services include:

• Technology Translators help you benefit most from our activities, directing you to the best technical solutions and new opportunities.
• Regular newsletters, e-alerts and our web site keep you up to date with training courses, projects and funding opportunities.
• Workshops and technical meetings focused on topics as diverse as effective powder characterisation and handling techniques, spray drying, powder compaction and flow and medical devices. Delegate feedback has been overwhelmingly positive.
• Technology Roadmapping to identify the challenges and research priorities to secure the future of both individual member companies and our key sectors.
• A growing range of collaborative research projects, giving you the opportunity to work with key British companies, university departments and research centres. Current projects include advances in processing, compaction modelling and paste flow.

PowdermatriX has brought tangible benefits to its members. Membership is free and is open to companies based in the United Kingdom.
