KTU Institute of Materials Science used to be called KTU Institute of Physical Electronics until the 1st of February, 2010. Institute of Physical Electronics was established in 1994, after reforming “Mikrolira”, a research centre for semiconductor microelectronics. In 2003 the Institute was reformed into an independent research institute by transferring the rights of the establishment to Kaunas University of Technology. On the 1st of January, 2010, by decree of the Lithuanian government, the Institute was fully integrated into KTU.
The activities of the Institute are aimed towards scientific research and its applications by developing new materials and novel technologies. Some of the applications are closely related to research and development in the area of document anti-counterfeiting. Research is conducted in cooperation with Lithuanian and foreign scientific organizations and industry.
The state-of-the-art technological and analytical equipment is available in the Institute’s laboratories, which allows to conduct micro technology and nanotechnology experiments as well as research of physical and chemical material properties. The Institute staff also participates in the study process within the University. They give lectures, conduct workshops and supervise final projects of the students. In return, the MSc and PhD students actively participate in the research within the Institute.
