As a student of the Master’s in Chemical Science & Engineering with the specialisation in Materials, you will be taught by leading professors in the field of materials and molecular chemistry. Moreover, you will have the opportunity to contribute to high-end research yourself. In the second year of your Master’s, you will join a research group and complete your master’s thesis there.
Do you want to know which groups you could join within this specialisation? Below you can find a selection of the related research groups and the research they are conducting.
Catalytic Processes & Materials (CPM) The Catalytic Processes & Materials group focuses on four fields of research: Activiation of Stable Molecules, Catalysis in Liquid Phase, Green Fuels and Biochemicals, and Multi-scale Modelling.
The Film in Fluids group focuses is on the synthesis of thin (hybrid) films by locally controlled chemistry, the in-situ characterization of thin films in fluids, and the development of inorganic porous hollow fibers.
Inorganic Materials Science (IMS) The Inorganic Membranes group encompasses macro- as well as micro-scale phenomena in the field of:
- The development of new membrane materials and new synthesis methods.
- A better fundamental understanding of transport mechanisms in relation to materials microstructure.
- The design of membrane processes, membrane reactors and high-temperature electrolysers.
Mesoscale Chemical Systems (MCS) The Mesoscale Chemical Systems group investigates and controls the influence of mesoscale phenomena on the macroscopic outcome of chemical unit operations and (bio)chemical analysis.
Photocatalytic Synthesis (PCS) The Photocatalytic Synthesis group is aimed at the development of innovative materials and concepts for photo- and electrocatalytic reactions with high efficiency to a sustainable chemical industry.
Hybrid Materials for Opto-Electronics (HMOE) The Hybrid Materials for Opto-Electronics group focuses on the mechanisms of charge transport and light-matter interactions in nanoscale tunnelling junctions were quantum effects dominate.
Membrane Surface Science (MSuS) The Membrane Surface Science group focuses on understanding and improving membrane surface interactions to enhance performance, functionality, and sustainability in polymeric membranes.
