Applied Materials Chemistry

The Applied Materials Chemistry Group is one of the RSC's many Interest Groups. The Interest Groups are member driven groups which exist to benefit RSC members, and the wider chemical science community, in line with the RSC's strategy and charter.

This group focuses on industrial uses and opportunities for "effect" materials (i.e. materials which significantly enhance or determine the performance of a product), covering application areas, which include:

• selective adsorption, protection and controlled delivery of actives   
• fuel additives  
• consumer goods applications (detergents, toiletries, healthcare etc)  
• nuclear industry uses  
• surface coatings  
• water and waste treatment  
• polymers and composites  
• catalysts and catalyst supports  
• fire retardants  
• ceramics and glass  

Community

We also have an online community, which is based on MyRSC, for anyone who shares our interests. 

Get Involved

We are always looking for new members who are keen to get involved and to help organise our activities. If you would like to find out more please contact the Secretary.
