Mastertrack Molecular Systems and Materials Chemistry

Designing and making molecules with high specificity is a key competence in chemistry. Engineers with a solid molecular background play a prominent role in developing and improving chemical systems ranging from novel catalysts to biomedical materials. These engineers work at the frontiers of science, learning the rules that govern chemical self-assembly and applying them to new areas like organic solar cells and responsive materials.  

In the Molecular Systems and Materials Chemistry track, you learn to use the tools of catalysis, inorganic, organic and physical chemistry to contribute to a healthier and more sustainable society. 

As a materials scientist you will work on developing novel or existing materials and processes. This includes the synthesis and characterization of polymeric materials as well as processing into a final product or device. Within the track, you can choose to focus on polymer chemistry, polymer technology, or materials and coatings technology.
