Group for Mechanochemistry and Synthesis of New Materials
2002-2007: Center for Mechanochemistry and Synthesis of New Materials
MISSION STATEMENT
The Group for Mechanochemoistry and Synthesis of Novel Materials engages in fundamental and applied research and graduate educational activities related to development and dissemination of knowledge on mechanically-induced phase transformations and chemical reactions in various material systems, and the application of this knowledge to control phase transformations and to search for new materials.
VISION STATEMENT
The Group for Mechanochemistry and Synthesis of Novel Materials will be will be a premiere Texas unit engaged into interdisciplinary research and education in the broad area of mechanochemistry. The Group for Mechanochemistry will compete nationally and internationally through excellence in research, publications, and education.
