Materials Chemistry
The PhD program in Materials Chemistry at Polytechnic University is highly interdisciplinary exposing students to a wide-range of exciting cutting-edge science. The program's objective is to educate students through classroom and research experiences in the emerging discipline of Materials Chemistry. Students in the program engage in research topics that include: chemical and biological synthesis of polymeric materials, structural and physical properties of synthetic and biological macromolecules, understanding the interplay between molecular-level structure and function, and exploring the biological properties of macromolecules. The program promotes interdisciplinary interactions among the students and faculty whose interest lie at the boundaries of chemistry, biology and engineering. In particular, our faculty specializes in the integration of biotechnology for the creation of new catalysts, sensors and macromolecules as well as in the detailed characterization and understanding of such polymers and novel super-molecular structures. The Materials Science program houses the Polymer Research Institute, Center for Biocatalysis and Bioprocessing of Macromolecules, and more.
