By understanding and learning to control the structure and properties of materials, ranging from the nano- to the macroscale, materials chemistry at the University of Chicago powers the development and advancement of medicine, technology, and energy.

The proximity of the James Franck Institute, Argonne National Lab, and other departments enables a collaborative and interdisciplinary approach to materials chemistry research at UChicago. Students receive rigorous instruction, with a unique materials chemistry course structure tailored to this field. Specific areas of research include surface interactions, the control of structure on the nanoscale, organic and inorganic polymers, and the interaction of biological systems with new materials. Students will be involved in exploring these areas of research and in opening up new fields of inquiry in materials chemistry.
