Centre for Engineering Materials
Engineering materials bridge the gap between the physical sciences, where understanding of atomic and molecular phenomena help explain fundamental behaviours, and engineering structures where practical applications of such phenomena are realised.
What we have to offer
We provide world-class analysis of ceramics, polymers and metals, as well as composite materials consisting of two or more of these materials using our in-house facilities.
Our research
Our research scales from nanometres through to metres which is used to explain and control the manufacture and behaviour of materials and the systems that rely on them.
