Research Programs

IRG 1: Programable Bonding IRG 2: Oxides as Semiconductors IRG 3: Soft Cellular Materials IRG 4: Nanostructured Materials Seed Projects Complex Fluids Design Consortium

The research scientific and engineering activities of the Materials Research Laboratory focus on the following four major interdisciplinary research groups (IRGs):

• SPECIFIC, REVERSIBLE AND PROGRAMMABLE BONDING IN SUPRA- AND MACROMOLECULAR MATERIALS
• OXIDES AS SEMICONDUCTORS
• SOFT CELLULAR MATERIALS
• NANOSTRUCTURED MATERIALS BY MOLECULAR BEAM EPITAXY
  COMPLEX FLUIDS DESIGN CONSORTIUM brings together UCSB faculty with researchers from industry and national laboratories interested in the computational design and processing behavior of soft materials and complex fluids.
