Advanced Materials
Advanced materials research examines and develops the properties of those materials the world relies on to build systems that support and advance our society, including transportation and energy systems. Washington State University researchers examine the composition and properties of materials subjected to high temperatures and pressures, the interface between polymers and natural fibers, and materials for energy transformations.
Their research improves existing materials and creates those with even greater strength, durability, flexibility, and that are less toxic to the environment. This work will pave the way for development of new materials that will advance alternative sources of energy such as solar, hydrogen, and storage from such sources.
