NPL Research partnerships

Research partnerships: register your interest.

NPL is building sovereign energetics capability in Brisbane and is looking for university and research-organisation partners to work with us on the underlying chemistry, materials and processes. Register your interest below and we will be in touch where there is a fit.

Where we need research partners

  • Energetic precursors and binder chemistry (HTPB and crosslinker systems)
  • Specialty organics and platform chemistry for composites and polymers
  • Process chemistry and scale-up: catalyst systems that turn domestic feedstocks into enabling chemicals
  • Literature-backed material performance assessment and candidate down-selection
  • Test planning and modelling for solid propellant systems
