Functional materials
Invisibility screens for radar, artificial bone, solar panels, computer memories, novel sensors; all rely on functional materials, whose properties derive from and are controlled by their underlying design.
Exeter's vision is for a multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary approach to functional materials - from fundamentals to manufacture.
Guest lecture
We are delighted that Professor Jari Kinaret (Chalmers University of Technology, Sweden and Lead for the EU Graphene Flagship project) will be giving an invited evening lecture on Wednesday 26 October.
People
The University has brought together leading research experts from blue skies research in Physics to new manufacturing techniques being developed in Engineering to develop new materials and techniques in functional materials.
