Welcome to the Materials Science & Technology Division

The Division currently has ten 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.

A brake on carbon fibre composites in landfill

A recycling method could see carbon fibre-reinforced composites upcycled into more demanding applications. Researchers at Loughborough University, UK, claim to have converted the composite’s thermoset polymer matrix into a ceramic, which could be used in ‘friction applications’ such as brake discs for high-end cars.

MASTering defence - UK work to improve defence

FV432 vehicles with identical visual colour and differing coatings
Team MAST has been delivering the UK Ministry of Defence’s (MOD’s) low to medium maturity materials and structures research since November 2007. This article presents case studies from that work - coatings to lower solar heat absorption, self healing of fibre-reinforced polymer composites and integrated damage resistance in composite structures.
