Functional Materials

Researcher examines a 3 dimentional printed specimen

Organic, inorganic and hybrid materials with tunable shapes and sizes, functional materials have the potential to save lives and protect the planet from environmental degradation.

At FEAS, we are passionate about this potential. From understanding the effects of climate change on water quality, to designing polymers with lifesaving applications, to producing bone-like prosthetic implants, our world-class researchers are pushing the limits of functional materials for the benefit of us all.

Lab Title Principal Investigator Lab Description
Facility for Research on Aerospace Materials and Engineered Structures (FRAMES) Kazem Fayazbakhsh Funded by a CFI infrastructure grant, FRAMES is a state-of-the-art, leading-edge centre for aerospace materials and structures. The facility can be utilized to perform full-scale components testing, and static and durability tests. It also hosts full-cycle FFF 3D printing research, including filament extrusion, large-scale 3D printing, and in-situ inspection.
