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.
