About the course

Because of their size, these very small particles have unique properties that our faculty leverage to create fluorescent biological labels, deliver drugs, detect pathogens, engineer biomaterials, design environmentally friendlier plastics and other forms of hydrocarbons, develop coatings with special thermal properties, design new polymer assemblies, and many others. The field of bio- and nanomaterials is a cornerstone of the materials program in our College.

　　The Materials Science and Engineering Program at the University of Houston is an interdisciplinary program with faculty from Mechanical, Chemical and Electrical Engineering Departments. In addition, significant collaboration occurs with the materials faculty in the College of Natural Sciences and Mathematics. The principal objectives of the materials science and engineering program may be summarized as follows: to study the mechanical, optical, electrical and electronic behavior of engineering and engineered materials used in all engineering applications. The specific areas covered by this program range from metallic alloys, polymers, ceramics and composites for advanced mechanical/aerospace engineering applications to thin films and coatings for electronics and superconducting ceramics for energy-related applications.
