HOME > Project Introduction > Backgrounds
- The necessity to develop the world’s top materials technology has been raised to respond to rapidly changing industries and ensure Korea’s continuous growth in future decades.
- The necessity to create a first-mover innovative materials technology and IP has been pointed out to overcome the constraints of nano-materials and develop materials technology with complex new features.
HIM is a research technology that creates futuristic materials with new functions, prestige features, convergence, and fusion features through design, invention, and evaluation of interface materials and volumes, which enable the connection of heterogeneous materials, substances, and scales at an electronic, atomic, and molecular structural level, realizing their new features. It is a first-mover ground-breaking technology that enables to create efficient, cutting-edge futuristic materials, parts, and products through convergence with IT.
