Materials and Polymers Faculty

Another exciting interdisciplinary area of modern science spans the interface between chemistry and materials science, and Caltech is very much involved in that frontier. Caltech research addresses a broad range of critical issues in the science and technology of advanced materials. From synthesis, to spectroscopic characterization, to theoretical modeling; from high polymers, to inorganic solids, to liquid crystals, to biomaterials - Caltech has all the bases covered.
