The scientific aim of the EMMMA (Exploiting Mechanical Motion of Molecular Architectures) Network is to take the previous scientific successes a stage further and, as the acronym suggests, actually use the stimuli-generated mechanical motions to produce macroscopic property changes at surfaces or within bulk polymers. Such systems would be at the forefront of what has been achieved thus far with mechanically interlocked molecular architectures and have potential commercial applications in a range of advanced switchable materials, e.g. for coatings applications. In terms of training we will build on our previously proven methods, features of which include: (i) ensuring the Young Researchers spend 2-6 week spells in laboratories of a different discipline, (ii) giving them the opportunity to attend courses in transferable skills, including presentation skills and project management at the University of Edinburgh and the University of Bologna, and (iii) enabling them to give lectures on visits to industrial companies with their PI's.
