Welcome to the Functional Materials Committee

The aim of the Functional Materials Committee is to promote knowledge and skills training in the field of functional materials. These materials have useful properties, such as, magnetic, ferroelectric and optical. These properties are demonstrated by metals, ceramics, polymers and hybrid systems, and find application in actuator, sensor and memory devices. Read our mission statement
