The Institute of Nanotechnology and Materials Engineering was established on 1.09.2021 as a substitute for the former Department of Solid Physics.
Currently, the Institute is located in the building of the Nanotechnology Center A and in the Main Building of the Gdańsk University of Technology.
It consists of a teaching centre, including a lecture auditorium and teaching rooms, a research centre consisting of 27 specialised laboratories and an inter-departmental library, with rich resources on science, materials engineering and nanotechnology.
The Institute's scientific and research activities are carried out in 8 scientific divisions. It includes the design, manufacture and testing of biocompatible materials and new materials with innovative physico-chemical properties, primarily for applications in energy conversion systems, fuel cells, photovoltaics, superconducting systems, thermoelectric systems and nanosensor applications.
Materials of various forms and structures are produced:
- ceramics, glass, ceramics, crystals, polycrys;
- bulk materials, composite materials, thin layers, nanomaterials and nanostructures;
- metallic materials, nanoalloys, semiconductors, superconductors, insulators.
Research topics also include research on the design of materials with the help of numerical simulations and computational methods.
