Matthew Parker
Research Fellow
Propellant Research
Cranfield University
United Kingdom
Biography
Dr Matt Parker graduated with a PhD in Polymer Chemistry from the University of Reading where his research focussed on the supramolecular cross-linking in novel polymeric systems. He later undertook postdoctoral research at the Reading School of Pharmacy developing highly functionalised dendrimers. In 2014 he joined the Propellant Research Group at Cranfield University as a Research Fellow investigating the properties of nitrocellulose.
Research Interest
Dr. matthew's research is primarily centred on the Nitrocellulose Degrees of Freedom project with the aim of better understanding the effect of nitrocellulose on propellant manufacture.
