Overview THEME 5 – MATERIALS SCIENCE AND APPLICATIONS Research in the area of Materials Science and Applications of the College of Engineering is interdisciplinary, multidisciplinary, intensive and extensive. It involves more than 26 faculty and researchers, 41 graduate students, 10 post-doctoral fellows and 15 research associates and engineers from all the departments of the College. A strong collaboration exists between materials researchers in the College and the Canadian Light Source (CLS), the Saskatchewan Structural Sciences Centre (SSSC), several colleges and departments within the University (e.g., Medicine, Veterinary Medicine, Chemistry and Biochemistry) and other educational institutions, research centres, and industrial organizations within and outside Canada. Materials researchers in the College are recognized nationally and internationally as experts in their research areas and have attracted several million dollars in research funding from NSERC, CFI and industries. In the 2009-2010 year, more than $3.2 million was received. The focus of materials research in the College is on synthesis, modeling, characterization, performance evaluation and application of materials. This encompasses both fundamental and applied research on a variety of material systems including: structural and multifunctional, advanced, plasma-derived, electronic and photonic, functional organic and hybrid, catalytic, bio-derived, and bio-inspired materials. The research activities are aimed at addressing national needs in terms of providing technological solutions to industries and governments, and training highly skilled graduates. The main areas of materials research within the College can be grouped as follows: Plasma Physics Research Plasma physics deals with the collective behaviour of charged particles in electromagnetic fields. The application of basic plasma physics to manufacturing and processing of materials is a new frontier that is of great technological importance to Canada. Industrial applications of plasma processing include the production of computer chips and planar optical waveguides, microwave devices, high-efficiency lamps, particle accelerators, processing of thin films, modification of materials, and large-scale electricity generation through nuclear fusion. Fusion energy produces no harmful waste, uses a virtually inexhaustible source of fuel (the hydrogen comes from water), and is incredibly efficient in the conversion of matter to energy. The application of plasma physics in material synthesis and modification is the cardinal focus of plasma research in the College. Carbon nanostructures (diamond films, carbon nanotubes (CNT), carbon nanocones) have been successfully synthesized with a unique plasma-assisted technology which allows diamond synthesis at unusually low Theme 5 – Materials Science – Research Report 2009-10 Page 27
