materialstudier
Materialstudier is an interdisciplinary field that investigates materials and their roles across science, engineering, industry, design, and culture. The term covers both the physical properties and behaviors of materials—such as metals, polymers, ceramics, composites, and emerging materials—as well as the social, historical, and cultural dimensions of materials and their use.
In the sciences, materialstudier overlaps with materials science and engineering, focusing on structure-property relationships, processing, performance,
Research methods are diverse and may include experimental characterization (microscopy, spectroscopy), computational modeling, life-cycle assessment, conservation
Education and career paths typically involve university programs in materials science, chemistry, physics, engineering, design, or
