Wolfson Electrostatics to provide working exhibit for the 'Challenge of Materials' Gallery at the Science Museum

The new PolyAna plastics identification system developed in a collaborative project between Wolfson electrostatics and the Ford motor company will become a permanent working exhibit in the Challenge of Materials gallery located on the 1st floor of the Science Museum in London. The PolyAna exhibit will enable visitors to the Museum to identify a series of plastic test panels. The identification process takes a few seconds after which the name of the plastic and the estimated accuracy of identification are displayed on a screen. The gallery in which the PolyAna is exhibited is described by the Science Museum as a display of world-class new technologies. Each display focuses on a single contemporary technological object or product.

At the Wolfson laboratories, plastics identification technology is continually being updated resulting in the latest-generation PolyAna Avatar. This instrument is now commercially available from Wolfson Electrostatics.
