UK-based materials testing specialist SATRA has launched a new footwear and clothing research group and invested £250,000 ($353,000) of membership funds in a multi-project programme.

Called the Advanced Concepts Research Group, it will investigate a range of topics, including the improvement of SATRA’s comfort expertise in footwear and apparel, methods of speeding up testing, and testing for the thermal properties of footwear designed for temperature extremes.

These will help SATRA to provide more targeted information and services to its member companies around the world, the company says.
