Chemistry

Materials chemistry deals with the potentially useful physical characteristics such as magnetic, optical, structural or catalytic properties which is used for the design and synthesis of materials. The characterization, processing and molecular-level understanding of these substances are also involved in it. These carbon molecules have unusual properties, which are valuable for nanotechnology, electronics, optics and other fields of materials science and technology. The study of elements with either metallic or non-metallic properties is called Inorganic Materials Chemistry. The major area of research which leads to the development of advanced organic and polymeric materials by investigating into the process of synthesis, processing, control, characterization and establishment of the structural properties relationship among these materials is called Organic Materials Chemistry.

The study of the synthesis, characterization and properties of polymer molecules or macromolecules is called Polymer chemistry which is large molecules, composed of repeating chemical subunits known as monomers. Polymer chemistry is focuses on the chemical synthesis, structure, chemical and physical properties of polymers and macromolecules. The principles used within polymer chemistry are also applicable through a wide range of other chemistry sub-disciplines like organic chemistry, analytical chemistry, and physical chemistry.
