Welcome to the Materials Center of Excellence Website
The Materials Center of Excellence is an extensive research collaboration between
Drexel University's Department of Chemical and
Biological Engineering and the Army
Research Laboratory's Weapons and Materials Research Directorate. The primary goal of
the partnership is to perform fundamental materials research in polymer materials that
will enable lightweight vehicle protection.
