The Laboratory for Material Chemomechanics, led by Prof Krystyn Van Vliet of the MIT Department of Materials Science and Engineering, develops experimental and computational approaches toward the understanding of a key phenomenon in active materials: coupling between the mechanical and structural/functional states.
Prof Van Vliet's group have worked closely with Micro Materials to pioneer some novel testing techniques, including nanoindentaion in liquids and nano-impact measurements on polymers.
