Applied Materials Chemistry

Welcome to the Applied Materials Chemistry Group.  Recently formed from the merger of the Materials Chemistry and Industrial Inorganic Chemicals Sectors, the new Group will be a more effective vehicle to meet the needs of members.

This group focuses on industrial uses and opportunities for "effect" materials (i.e. materials which significantly enhance or determine the performance of a product), covering application areas, which include the following:

• selective adsorption, protection and controlled delivery of actives 
• fuel additives
• consumer goods applications (detergents, toiletries, healthcare etc)
• nuclear industry uses
• surface coatings
• water and waste treatment
• polymers and composites
• catalysts and catalyst supports
• fire retardants
• ceramics and glass
