Areas of Focus
Materials science is an interdisciplinary field that includes elements
of applied physics and chemistry, as well as chemical, mechanical, civil
and electrical engineering. Leading-edge research in materials science is
concerned with developments in areas such as advanced materials and ceramics,
nanotechnology, concrete and geopolymer technology, corrosion science and
multiferroics.
These are some of the most exciting areas of development in materials science
and have enormous potential to impact beneficially both on current industrial
processes and at the new horizons in materials research and development.
Operating at all levels of development from fundamental research through
to problem solving for established industries and processes, the Centre’s
activities focus on three main areas and their associated projects: New
Materials and Design, Materials Performance, and Materials Characterisation
and Modelling.
