Welcome to the Materials Chemistry Committee

The aim of the Committee is to provide UK industry and research bodies with access to reliable and up-to-date information for phase equilibria and the thermodynamics for all classes of engineering materials. Such information plays a vital role in underpinning many spheres of materials science and technology.With this in mind the committee seeks to coordinate and monitor critical assessment and experimental work in various organisations and institutions in the UK, to avoid undue overlap of experimental studies and to encourage and nurture international co-operation on phase diagram knowledge.

Speedy single molecules for switches

UK researchers are playing their part in the long-term quest to incorporate single molecules into electronic circuits for nanoscale high speed devices. This technology would not rely on a material’s bulk properties to perform electronic functions such as switching or logic.

The IOM3 member magazine

Materials World is specifically devoted to the engineering materials cycle, from mining and extraction, through processing and application, to recycling and recovery. Editorially, it embraces the whole spectrum of materials and minerals – metals, plastics, polymers, rubber, composites, ceramics and glasses – with particular emphasis on advanced technologies, latest developments and new applications, giving prominence to the topics that are of fundamental importance to those in industry.
