At iMAT, our research is driven by a broad and ambitious goal: to advance materials science in Denmark and beyond by creating innovative, sustainable, and efficient materials. Our members come from many fields, but in ways that create innovative, sustainable, and efficient materials. Our members come from many fields, but all our efforts are united by this common purpose. Collaboration is essential at iMAT. Scientists from different fields work together, solving complex problems and developing innovative solutions. Each member brings their own skills and knowledge, contributing to materials research topics that address global challenges. This interdisciplinary approach allows us to tackle challenges more effectively and develop comprehensive solutions in a wide range of materials research topics.
As a leading research center in Denmark, we focus on designing new materials with unique properties. These materials can be stronger, lighter, or more efficient, helping in various fields like technology and healthcare. Sustainability is also a key part of our research. We aim to create materials that are good for the environment, reducing waste and conserving resources. Furthermore, we develop materials that can convert and store energy, making renewable energy sources like solar and wind power more efficient and reliable. Our members also explore advanced manufacturing techniques. By using methods like 3D printing and nanotechnology, we aim to make production faster and cheaper.
Our work spans a broad range of topics in materials science including everything from fundamental studies over advanced characterization to applied innovations. Our materials research topics span the following areas:
