Keith Paton

Keith Paton is a senior research scientist at the National Physical Laboratory, the UK’s National Measurement Laboratory. As part of the Surface Technology team, Keith develops measurement solutions to characterise the chemical and structural properties of innovative materials for sustainability. He has contributed to the development of several international standards for the characterisation of graphene and related 2D materials, and is based in Manchester. The collaboration with the Green Materials Group and the SMI Hub is intended to understand the measurement challenges for sustainable polymer materials, and ensure that through rigorous application of metrology adoption of these novel materials and processes can be accelerated.
