The Materials Research Science and Engineering Center (MRSEC) at the University of California at Santa Barbara (UCSB) addresses fundamental problems in materials science and engineering that are important to the scientific community, society and the future economic growth of the United States. Current areas of interest include the support of interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary materials research and education of the highest quality in the areas of new semiconductors for microelectronics, novel nanostructures for high speed communication devices and advanced polymeric materials. A prime driver behind the research activities of the UCSB MRSEC is to address problems of a scope and complexity requiring the advantages of scale and interdisciplinarity that can only be provided by a campus-based research center. The MRSEC has a leadership role in Educational Outreach programs and in the development of Industrial and International Collaborations on the UCSB campus. It provides undergraduate research opportunities, graduate student training, outreach to K-12 students and teachers, and community outreach. The outstanding Central Facilities program plays a fundamentally important role in the research of all MRSEC programs and additionally has a broad impact on the materials research community at UCSB, local and national companies, and government laboratories. The MRSEC consists of the following IRGs: IRG-1: Specific, Reversible and Programmable Bonding in Supra- and Macromolecular Materials identifies new experimental and computational methods for precisely controlling the structure and properties of materials based on directed and reversible interactions.. IRG-2: Oxides as Semiconductors focuses on the theory, growth, and application of ultra-pure semiconducting oxides. IRG-3: Soft Cellular Materials seeks to use tailor made/functionalized nanoparticles and block copolymers, in association with polymer blends, to develop new soft materials with precisely controlled cellular structures. IRG-4: Nanostructured Materials by Molecular Beam Epitaxy will examine the development of all-epitaxial metal/semiconductor nanocomposite systems for potential applications in high speed and Terahertz technology. Participants in the Center currently include 30 senior investigators, 7 postdoctoral associates, and 24 graduate students from seven departments. Professor Craig Hawker directs the MRSEC.

材料研究科学与工程中心（MRSEC）在加州大学圣巴巴拉分校（UCSB）解决材料科学和工程的基本问题，是重要的科学界，社会和美国未来的经济增长。 目前感兴趣的领域包括支持跨学科和多学科的材料研究和最高质量的教育领域的新半导体微电子，新型纳米结构的高速通信设备和先进的聚合物材料。 UCSB MRSEC研究活动背后的主要驱动力是解决范围和复杂性的问题，需要规模和跨学科的优势，只能由校园研究中心提供。 MRSEC在教育推广计划以及UCSB校园工业和国际合作的发展中发挥领导作用。它提供本科研究机会，研究生培训，推广到K-12学生和教师，以及社区推广。杰出的中央设施计划在所有MRSEC计划的研究中发挥着至关重要的作用，并对UCSB，地方和国家公司以及政府实验室的材料研究界产生了广泛的影响。 MRSEC由以下IRG组成：IRG-1：超分子和大分子材料中的特异性、可逆和可编程键合确定了基于定向和可逆相互作用精确控制材料结构和性能的新实验和计算方法。IRG-2：氧化物作为半导体专注于超纯半导体氧化物的理论，生长和应用。 IRG-3：Soft Cellular Materials旨在使用定制/功能化纳米颗粒和嵌段共聚物，与聚合物共混物相结合，开发具有精确控制的蜂窝结构的新软材料。IRG-4：分子束外延的纳米结构材料将研究全外延金属/半导体纳米复合材料系统在高速和太赫兹技术中的潜在应用的发展。该中心的参与者目前包括来自七个部门的30名高级研究员，7名博士后助理和24名研究生。 克雷格霍克教授指导MRSEC。
