Polymer Chemistry and Characterisation
Warwick recognised globally as a centre of excellence for polymer research. Warwick Scientific Services (WSS) provides a route for industry and other HEIs to access our state-of-the-art Polymer Characterisation Research Technology Platform (RTP) and to the expertise available for polymer synthesis.
Services and characterisation includes:
- Polymer synthesis and characterisation
- GPC/SEC measurements
- Thermal analysis (including DMA)
- Contact angle measurements
- Particle sizing
- Formulation analysis
We run services ranging from a single GPC/SEC sample to bespoke polymer synthesis and characterisation services.

Our People
Professor David Haddleton
Professor David Haddleton has over 30 years experience of industrial and academic polymer chemistry experience with over 400 academic papers and over 20 patent families. Professor Haddleton has extensive collaborations with industry including Unilever, Lubrizol, Syngenta, BASF, Merck, Astra Zeneca and SMEs including Medherant. There is experience in all polymer types and we aim to offer you solutions to your problems and add value by helping you understand your polymers and offer the right material for your needs. We offer short term and long term contracts to give you the flexibility required and extra effort when needed.
David is also Director of the Polymer Characterisation RTP
Dr Dan Lester
Dan is an expert in a number of analytical techniques both directly related to polymer characterisation, but also those used more widely throughout chemistry and physics. Dan is therefore able to explore polymer and material properties using a wide range of complementary techniques available at Warwick to progress your project quickly. Prior to taking his current role as Manager of the Polymer Characterisation RTP, Dan did a PhD in phyical inorganic chemistry at Sussex.
