Image insert) The Materials Chemistry Research Center (MCRC) of Khon Kaen University
was established in 2012 and is devoted to excellence in the chemistry of
Vision and materials. This one of a kind research center brings together researchers
Mission specializing in the material synthesis, the modification and functionalization
of materials and also their application in a vast cross section of industry. The
center houses 29 academic researchers and 15 full-time research assistants.
In addition, 6 Ph.D. and 29 M.Sc. students are conducting their studies under
supervision of the center’s staff.

The research of the MCRC focusses on four main areas: (1) Molecular
functional materials. (2) Polymers and organic-inorganic hybrid materials. (3)
Modified inorganic materials aiming at developing new and novel functional
materials for various applications including; adsorption and separation,
catalysis, chemical and biological sensors, analytical uses in food and
environment, biological activities, and materials for magnetic, dielectric and
magnetoelectric applications. (4) The development and application of green
and sustainable materials that meet the needs of circular economies and a
modern industry. The development of research methodologies and new
synthetic methods, along with a deep understanding of functional properties
are crucial to acquire the well-designed materials suitably serving for
particular applications.

Another key goal of the MCRC is to build strong research networks
among the senior investigators, young researchers and graduate students
associated with MCRC and also beyond through national and international
collaborations. Such research links aim to strengthen and promote the
research-based knowledge in materials chemistry.
Vision:
MCRC aims to be a world leading research center in the field of materials

chemistry

Mission:
1. To acquire and strengthen the knowledge in the field of materials
chemistry, through a fundamental and applied research integrated across
various disciplines.
2. To build and foster early-career researchers to become high quality mid-
career and senior researchers in the area of materials chemistry.
3. To produce well-educated Ph.D. and M.Sc. students, who are equipped
with cutting edge research skills, significant research expertise in the
chemical sciences and transferable skills required for a career in the
chemical industry or related disciplines.
4. To create quality cutting-edge research programs aiming at publishing in
high-ranking research journals.
5. To initiate innovative and integrated research projects aiming at national
and international patenting.
6. To build research networks across the nation and to collaborate with
international researchers and research centers.
