Chemistry (Chem)
The KAUST Chemistry (Chem) Program was established in 2010 to provide a modern, research-oriented education in chemistry. It is one of the top internationally ranked programs at KAUST. Leveraging the outstanding facilities at KAUST, the program distinguishes itself by a clear focus and strong emphasis on current research challenges related to polymers, catalysis, and nanotechnology.
Within these three main interdisciplinary tracks, the following distinct research orientations are currently addressed:
|
Polymers
|
Catalysis
|
Nanotechnology
|
|
Conjugated polymers
|
Hetero- and homogeneous catalysts
|
Hybrid materials
|
|
Sustainable/renewable polymers
|
Biocatalysts
|
Porus Materials
|
|
Polymeric membranes
|
Photo- and electro catalysts
|
