Scope and Objectives

Materials Science is an interdisciplinary field concerned with the design, manufacture, and use of all

classes of materials (including polymers, ceramics, semiconductors, metals, and biomaterials), and with

energy, environmental, health, economic, and manufacturing issues relating to materials. Development

and characterisation of materials have a major role in advancement of human civilization. Thus, the

recent advances in electronics, energy conversion, and space flight have become possible due to the

advancements in Materials Science and Technology.

The proposed course is designed to provide opportunities to Science (postgraduate) and Engineering

(undergraduate) students to undergo training in different aspects of Materials Science and Technology.

At the end of the course the student will have an understanding of physical, chemical and mechanical

properties of materials, including metals, ceramics, polymers, and composites and the reasons for these

properties to exist.

There are some subjects that all students of Materials Science should know: materials structure,

electronic and mechanical properties of materials, polymeric materials, and materials processing. Core

subjects in these areas are offered. In addition, elective subjects covering a wide range of topics are

offered and one can obtain in-depth understanding in their field of interest.

The department has modern materials laboratories containing a wide variety of materials processing

and characterisation equipment. The laboratory for materials characterisation equipped with DSC, TGA,

IR, UV-vis, AFM, Rheometer, Brabender Plasticorder, Micro compounder, HPLC/GPC, Particle size

analyzers, etc. Universal Testing Machine and Scanning Electron Microscope are under procurement.

Course objectives:

To provide a strong foundation in Materials Science and understand how to manipulate

materials properties

To familiarize with recent advancements in the field

Learn to design new materials, the improvement of existing materials and the optimization of

manufacturing methods

To acquire capacity to solve problems and learn continually

To motivate students for research programmes

To nurture the highest quality scientific manpower to cater the needs of Society and ISRO
