The development of new materials is essential to increasing the material well-being of our lives. Materials are chemical substances and their aggregates, which are formed from atoms and molecules; in order to develop new materials both applied rsearch and a deepening and broadening of our understanding of the essence of matter, centering on chemistry, are necessary. It is also the role of materials research and study to help solving the various environmental, resource, and energy problems that confront us. Based on faculty in three broad divisions (21 research fields) and two courses of Study (Molecular Materials Engineering and Material Substances Engineering), the Chemistry and Materials Technology takes as its purpose the training of the researchers, engineers, and teachers that will fulfill this role.
