Welcome
You are warmly invited to join us in July 2025. The international conference on materials chemistry has been a key meeting in the materials calendar for three decades.Organised by the Royal Society of Chemistry, the 2025 conference will host leading materials researchers from around the world. It's the flagship event for the RSC Materials Chemistry Community (previously Materials Chemistry Division) - and you can be a part of it.
Oral and poster presentation opportunities are available to researchers of all career stages and we invite you to submit an abstract to make your contribution. The conference promises to be a great forum for materials chemists to network with and build strong collaborations within their community and related disciplines.
Themes
For MC17 we have a programme covering materials chemistry in all its breadth and diversity. There are four main themes, listed below. Plenary lectures will highlight advances across the themes and keynote speakers will describe leading work within each theme.Materials for energy and sustainability
Experimental and computational studies of materials applied in energy generation, storage and conversion, as well as other areas of sustainability including recycling, critical materials use and green chemistry.
Nano and porous materials
Experimental and computational studies related to the synthesis, characterisation and application of nano-sized materials, micro-, meso- and macroporous materials encompassing porous inorganic, organic and hybrid materials and composites.
Functional inorganic materials
Experimental and computational studies of inorganic materials with notable mechanical, electronic, optical, magnetic, ferroic, catalytic, conducting or other properties, including novel approaches to prediction, synthesis, characterisation and measurements.
Soft matter and biomaterials
Experimental and computational studies related to natural and synthetic soft materials, their characterisation and applications in biotechnology, biomedicine and sustainable technologies.
