Materials
Research in materials is grounded in understanding why a material displays a given electronic, physical, mechanical, or chemical property or behavior, thus permitting "structure-property" relationships and predictions.
Materials research involves fabrication of new materials as well as improvement of existing materials; it includes electronic materials, biomaterials, metals, ceramics, polymers, and composites.
