Prof. Andrew Slark

EPSRC Manufacturing Fellow

University of Sheffield

Professor Andrew Slark was trained in Chemistry and Polymer Science at Loughborough University  (BSc (Hons) and PhD). He has over 25 years’ industrial R&D experience at ICI Imagedata, ICI Acrylics, National Starch, Henkel and De La Rue. He designed new technology platforms and polymer products with differentiated performance for a variety of speciality adhesives, coatings and inks applications including automotive, assembly, construction, woodworking, textiles, packaging and printing.

In 2018, Andrew was awarded an EPSRC Manufacturing Fellowship and appointed as a Professorial Fellow at the University of Sheffield to build a new research group on sustainable materials. The EPSRC Fellowship - Innovative Coatings and Adhesives for Recycling (I-CARE), is targeting new, smart polymers which not only provide high performance in use, but which can also be triggered to enable re-use and recycling. The concepts being explored are not only relevant to adhesives and coatings but also to films, elastomers and composites.
