MaTReC was established in 2015 by Prof. Dr. Mohd Hazwan Hussin shortly after joining the School of Chemical Sciences, Universiti Sains Malaysia.  

Current research interests are extended in a number of areas. The focus is on both applied and fundamental investigations.

1. Biomass (particularly lignin, cellulose, hemicellulose) and bio-resources process

2. Physical Electrochemistry (polarization, impedance, electrochemical noise)

3. Corrosion Protection (inhibitors and coatings)

4. Materials Technology (polymer electrolytes, adsorbent, adhesives and composites)
