Nanoscale functional polymers for brain diseases & regenerative medicine

Nanomedicine embraces mostly, though not exclusively, the biomedical application of nanoscale materials for diagnosis and therapy.

Chromogenic & emissive nanomaterials for energy efficient devices

We aim to develop advanced (nano)materials following novel and emerging concepts and approaches for their integration in smart devices.

The goal of the Nanostructured Functional Materials or NANOSFUN group is to develop new routes to molecular nanostructures with properties inspired by nature and smart responses to external stimuli. The group has a lot of exoerience on novel catechol-based coatings and wet adhesives that reproduce the sticking power of marine mussels, as well as the development of nanoencapsulation strategies for photoactive species with potential photophysical and chemical applications. The group also carries out a strong research line in photo- and thermochromism.
