The Materials Research Laboratory at MIT under the direction of                 Dr. J. David Litster supports interactive, multidisciplinary                    research in five major thrust areas, operates and maintains                     central experimental facilities for a wide range of materials-                  related research on campus, and provides seed funding for high-                 risk projects in materials research.  Major research areas                      include phases and phase transitions, synthesis and properties of               novel polymers, innovations in steel technology (supported at MIT               through FY 1988 only), intermetallic compounds at high                          temperatures, and a new thrust in transition metal oxides.                      Development and use of major central facilities is shared and                   coordinated with the Harvard University MRL.  The MIT MRL                       research program involves about forty faculty members, eight                    postdoctoral research associates, more than fifty graduate                      students, and twenty undergraduates.
