Nano-engineered materials

Development of smart materials
Positioning as key leader for future adaptive and smart materials in the area of functional polymers and adaptive polymer materials.

Limitations in the physical properties of existing materials represent a major barrier to the next generation of technological advances. Our researchers work at the nexus of physics, chemistry and engineering to design advanced nanoscale materials with unique and highly valuable properties. Such ongoing advances in polymer chemistry and functional nanomaterials have positioned AIBN as a key leader in the development of future smart materials.
