Materials Chemistry
It is a research area which involves a diversity of technological applications. Consequently, it requires knowledge from basic science and engineering. In this context, Chemistry plays a fundamental role in explaining the relation between the structure of the materials at atomic/molecular scales and their macroscopic properties. The investigations concern the structure, property, process and performance of the materials. Examples of this research area are:
- Thin/thick films.
- Metallic alloying.
- Semiconductors materials.
- Bioceramics.
- Magneto-dielectric ceramics.
- Superconductors.
- Nanoparticles.
- Catalysts.
- Polymers.
- Composites.
- Glasses.
