Advanced Materials Engineering

Materials that are utilized in high-technology applications are termed as advanced materials. These advanced materials are typically traditional materials whose properties have been enhanced, and also newly developed, high-performance materials. Furthermore, they may be of all material types and are normally expensive.

Advanced Materials Engineering (AME) focus is on structuring advanced polymeric and biomedical materials via processing, with associated modelling, for: high added-value products and methodologies and therapies aimed primarily at health and wellbeing.

Advanced materials include semiconductors, biomaterials, smart materials and Nano engineered materials .

The properties and applications of a number of these advanced materials—for example, materials that are used for lasers, integrated circuits, magnetic information storage, liquid crystal displays (LCDs), and fibre optics.
