Materials KTN

The Materials Knowledge Transfer Network (KTN), an overarching network of networks in materials which is managed on behalf of the Technology Strategy Board (TSB) by IOM3.

 

IOM3 is one of the core partners of MADE, the Materials and Design Exchange, which brings together the communities of design and materials technology.

The Polymer Innovation Network is a node of the Materials KTN funded by TSB to facilitate knowledge transfer between the UK plastics and rubber industry and its research and technology base.
