About AAAFM

World’s leading functional materials community,
advancing excellence in the materials sciences.

 

American Association for Advances in Functional Materials

With foundations rooted in innovation and research, the AAAFM is a globally recognized, functional materials membership society. We are a group of individuals working together for the advancement and benefit of humanity by furthering the focus on functional materials.

Being active in this area of study for many years, we have gained members with diverse backgrounds from around the world. Amongst our esteemed members, you will find seasoned professionals at the peak of their careers from fields like education, government and entrepreneurship as well as amateurs who are simply enthusiastic about functional materials.

The purpose of this gathering is to create a platform where people sharing a passion for materials can inspire and guide each other. Since we are a charity, we take measures to use materials in such a way that they can deliver their exceptional potential to benefit the society long-term.

Besides enabling enthusiasts to receive professional support from the AAAFM members, we also make a point of connecting with policymakers and the public quite frequently. The main purpose of doing so is to spread awareness about materials and make people understand the potential it holds for the benefit of all humankind.

The core aim of AAAFM Publishing’s effort is to transform into a global leader in scientific education and communication. By publishing articles, journals, magazines, online data silos, and e-books, we enable people from around the world to have access to scientific knowledge.

You can also become a part of this advancing movement and help us build the foundation of our discipline’s future. You can invest in materials today to see exceptional results tomorrow. By supporting AAAFM’s mission to scale up its activities, you will play a proactive role in assisting us to establish a better foundation for future generations.
