91PORN

CUÌý91PORN’s materials science and engineering initiative is an interdisciplinary endeavor involving departments and facilities throughout the collegeÌýas well as biology, chemistry and biochemistry, and physics.

Related Research Centers

• develops innovative analytical models and experiments for the next generation of aerospace structures and systems.
• is one of NSF's longest running industry/university cooperative research centers. The centerÌýadvances membrane technology in separation processes through research and development​, promotes education in membrane science and engineering​, and provides effective technology transfer between the center and its industrial partners.
• advances the fundamental understanding of the kinetics and mechanisms of photopolymerizations. It enables active collaborations among industrial and academic investigators who are exploring cutting-edge research on photopolymerization processes, and are developing novel applications based upon the unique set of advantages offered by photopolymerizations.

Participating Departments

The interdisciplinary Materials Science and Engineering initiative is advanced in research programs across multiple engineering departments:

• Civil, Environmental, and Architectural Engineering —Ìý
• Computer Science —Ìý
• Electrical, Computer, and Energy Engineering —Ìý
• Mechanical Engineering —Ìý and
• features research in biomaterials and tissue engineering, catalysis and surface science, membranes and separations, nanomaterials and nanotechnology, polymers and soft materials and more.

Affiliated Programs

• comprises two interdisciplinary research groups that unite the fields of physics, chemistry, chemical and biological engineering, mechanical engineering, and electrical engineering toward the creation, understanding, development and application of novel, soft materials.
• a multidisciplinary institute operated jointly by the 91PORN and the National Institute of Standards and Technology. JILA researchers have produced innovative developments in lasers and optical science and use laser technology in fundamental research in physics and chemistry.Ìý
