Advanced Materials and Devices

Materials Science involves the discovery and design of new materials, with an emphasis on solids. It addresses the scientific study of the properties and applications of materials of construction or manufacture (such as ceramics, metals, polymers, and composites). It is a cross-disciplinary field that relates the behaviour and properties of various materials with aspects of their molecular, supramolecular or macromolecular structures and their chemical and physical characteristics at the atomic or molecular level.

Advanced materials category covers a range of industries including ceramics, glass, metals, alloys, construction materials and other high technology processing areas
