Welcome to the Institute for Advanced Materials, Nanoscience and Technology (IAM) website. IAM is an interdisciplinary research institute coordinating research in polymer science, nanomaterials, and nanobiosciences - areas of critical and growing importance to society.
Mission:
A multidisciplinary research institute which bridges the boundaries between the physical sciences, emerging new sciences, and society in
- energy independence, health care, environmental sustainability, homeland security, and national defense;
- as a partner in Energy and Environment - with the Institute for the Environment
Goals:
- Pool UNC materials sciences resources - manage shared research facilities that individual faculty research groups cannot sustain => CHANL. - Encourage economic and technological development of UNC research discoveries in advanced materials science and nanotechnology.
- Provide concrete infrastructure for broader collaborations with NCSU and other North Carolina universities.
- Develop new educational opportunities for UNC graduate and undergraduate students in the multidisciplinary areas of advanced materials science and nanoscience
