Materials Design
The targeted identification of new materials, spanning modelling and
knowledge-led approaches i.e., routes based both on computation and an
experiment-derived understanding.
Magnetic, Electronic & Optical Materials
The properties or applications of materials related to display
technologies, sensors, optics, electronics, printable electronics,
magnetics and information storage technologies, spanning all material
types including nano, 2D, smart, carbon, and multifunctional materials.
Energy & Environment
Encompassing all aspects of Materials Chemistry related to energy
conversion and, storage, and fuel generation and environment control and
remediation.
Nanomaterials
Synthesis, Characterisation, Properties and Application of materials and
hybrid materials with nanoscale dimensions and functionality.
Soft Matter & Biomaterials
All aspects of soft matter materials, as well as those specifically
targeted at biomaterials applications, especially where there are links
between design and function.
