Welcome to the Materials Science & Technology Division

Mike WinstoneMike WinstoneThe Division currently has a number of constituent committees reflecting the major objective of the Division, which is to facilitate the application of fundamental physical, chemical and engineering principles to the needs of industry across a broad sector range. This includes materials' production, processing, fabrication and end user industries. The Division seeks to identify, encourage and support relevant basic and applied research and to help industry benefit through, for example, problem solving, cost reduction or new product development.
