MPhil Materials Chemistry at University of Manchester

Build materials one molecule at a time. Materials chemistry research explores how atomic, molecular and supramolecular structure determines materials properties, spanning organic and polymeric materials, 2D materials, and nanoporous materials including MOFs and COFs. As a postgraduate researcher on this MPhil, you'll work to develop materials and technologies for electronics and optoelectronics, printed electronics and sensors, quantum technologies and nanofabrication, sustainable biomaterials, catalysis and energy storage, and the nuclear industry — addressing major challenges in...
