It is quite clear that the opportunity to identify, create and exploit new materials to meet the challenges we face in health, engineering, energy and environment has never been greater. Indeed, the scope for exploiting the possibilities of functional bulk and nanomaterials, through synthesising and investigating new compositions and device formats to understand the associated process issues, spans all sectors. Applying this knowledge to metals, polymers, composites, ceramics, semiconductors and pharmaceuticals will be central to future UK economic growth. So it is encouraging to see that this is being fully recognised under the Birmingham Science City initiative in Advanced Materials.
