Welcome to the Fielding Research Group

We are a dynamic research team based in the Department of Materials at The University of Manchester, working at the cutting edge of polymer science and materials innovation. Our labs are located in the state-of-the-art Henry Royce Institute, the UK’s national hub for advanced materials research.

What We Do

Our research explores how to design and create smart, sustainable polymers and polymer-based materials that can solve real-world problems. We work on a wide range of applications, including:

• Eco-friendly coatings and adhesives

• Advanced nanocomposites

• 3D printing of functional materials

• Biomedical diagnostics

• Regenerative medicine

Whether it's developing new materials for healthcare or improving the sustainability of everyday products, our goal is to make a meaningful impact through science.
