Solid State Sciences Committee

The Solid State Sciences Committee (SSSC) is a continuing interdisciplinary body with expertise in solid-state physics, solid-state chemistry, electronic materials, metallurgy, polymers, and the basic materials science aspects of ceramics. The committee identifies and makes recommendations on the needs of the materials research, development, and applications community, particularly in connection with research opportunities and support, and it provides guidance to federal agencies regarding their materials science research programs.
