Materials Chemistry
The aims and objectives of the Materials Chemistry Technical Interest Group are to:
- Promote materials chemistry, physics and engineering to the wider world
- Create an interface between academia and industry
- Identify new emerging technologies
- Create new uses for established materials
- Establish networks between materials technologies and ensure the transfer of information from academia to industry and other institutions
- Encourage people to choose materials chemistry as a career
