About CFM

The Centre for Functional Materials (CFM) at VIT, Vellore was established in Nov 2020. The centre prioritizes the research of national interest by highlighting new findings and discussing current trends in technologically reverent topics. Here, we explore different classes of functional materials ranging from semiconductors to polymers and molecular crystals to nanoparticles. CFM has also provided various state-of-the-art characterization facilities like optical, microhardness, gas sensing, dielectric, electrical studies, computational tools etc. The centre has gained attention due to its immense publications in the diverse fields of research in functional materials. CFM is offering a platform to connect a broad range of materials with focused research groups and support multidisciplinary research necessary for technology transfer. The Centre implements its mission via activities in research and education.
