The University of Salford has received the Outstanding Contribution to Science and Technology at last nights Times Higher awards, the leading awards showcasing excellence in the UK higher education sector. The award has been made in recognition of The Universitys development of an eco-friendly aerosol valve system that has the potential to significantly reduce global greenhouse emissions. The system, developed by a team led by Ghasem Nasr, director of Salford’s Spray Research Group, obviates the need for volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in aerosol sprays – a major breakthrough in the battle to enhance aerosol safety and reduce the production of harmful gases. The technology has the potential to be used in most aerosol applications, including consumer goods, cosmetics and healthcare. Its green credentials, safety applications and industrial promise make it a worthy winner.
