Material science has broadened from its historical roots in metallurgy and solid-state physics to underpin many aspects of physical and engineering science, spanning calculations and measurements of the nature of bonding in materials, through the mechanical behaviour of complex engineered products in extreme environments.
Supported by comprehensive material characterisation, scientists at ETRI combine fundamental, curiosity and application driven research which drives the development of new materials, through interdisciplinary research conducted with colleagues in physics, chemistry, and electronic engineering. Research at ETRI aims to explore the links between processing of materials, development of their microstructure, and their useful functional properties across range of energy related applications.
Our researchers have developed and used modern synthetic methodologies that cut across organic and inorganic chemistry to develop novel catalysts, new molecular tools, new materials, and green technologies.
