specific bulletin board, and details of related news and events.
 
Specialist group within the School of Manufacturing, Materials, and Mechanical Engineering at the University of Plymouth. The Centre was founded in 1987 to focus on the provision of advanced courses in polymer composite materials manufacture and applications. ACMC's activities now encompass research and development, short courses, consultancy, and undergraduate and postgraduate short courses.
 
Catalogue of annotated links relating to astronomy, chemistry, earth sciences, materials, and physics. Each subject area can be browsed alphabetically or searched by keyword.
 
A centre of expertise in computational materials research that develops tools and techniques, and fosters collaborations.
 
NASA division responsible for planning, advocating, directing, and implementing space experiments in technology and microgravity science. It conducts and sponsors ground
based scientific and technology studies that may lead to experiments in space. The focus of these efforts is to enhance the understanding of the role of gravity in physical processes (e.g. materials science, power, propulsion, combustion, fluid physics and plasma physics).
 
Society dedicated to goal
oriented basic and applied research on materials of technological importance. MRS emphasizes an interdisciplinary approach to materials science and engineering, inspiring cooperation among scientists from industry, academia, and government.
 
A list of links to engineering resources on the Internet, arranged by category of engineering. Includes links to resources on aerospace engineering, CAD, civil engineering, marine engineering, materials science, and mechanical engineering.
 
Features a subscription based database of abstracts which deal with technical, academic, commercial and marketing aspects of the rubber and plastic industries. Also includes industry news, software downloads, and a quarterly newsletter entitled Medical Device news.
 
The Institute of Materials serves the international materials community through learned society activities and by acting as the professional body for materials scientists and engineers.
 
Provides a gateway to polymer resources on the Web and offers a directory of polymer processing companies throughout the UK. Technical developments from around the world are monitored and industry news is provided.
 
Links to numerous annotated and evaluated online resources relevant to materials engineering.
 
Teaching resources, grants information, projects, education research, and a discussion forum pertaining to disciplines related to, and using, materials.
 
An online gallery of information and graphics of common materials based on an exhibit at the Science Museum in London. Includes materials which have had a significant impact on civilisation, atomic structures of materials and different methods used to transform a raw material into a usable product.
 
The Institute of Applied Catalysis aims to develop interactions between the disciplines of chemistry, chemical engineering and materials science.
 
Topics in traditional and innovative areas in minerals, metals and materials.
 
Information from the Corrosion and Protection Centre at UMIST, including the Journal of Corrosion Science and Engineering and Internet resources in corrosion and materials.
 
Online newsletter offering short technical articles that may be of interest to the materials community.
 
Demonstrates the use of virtual reality techniques, combined with high performance models, for virtual testing of the behaviour of laminate composite materials.
 
A scientific publication comprising short reviews that cover the latest advances in the analytical sciences. Fields covered include analytical instrumentation, biochemistry, biotechnology, clinical chemistry, environmental chemistry, forensic science, laboratory automation, materials science, pharmaceutical chemistry, process analysis, surface science, and toxicology.
