Microporous and Mesoporous Materials
Part of the appeal of microporous and mesoporous materials is the unique and thorough molecular control of their intrinsic topological and chemical characteristics that nanochemistry is able to provide. With the correct choice of building [...]
Synchrotron-based Nanocharacterization of Soft Materials and Interfaces
Synchrotron radiation allows an exhaustive characterization of the structure, chemical nature and dynamics of materials. In this sense our lab exploits a wide range of methods, from small angle scattering up to spectroscopic methods, to [...]
Molecular Modeling of Soft and Nanostructured Materials
Overview The focus of our research is on the molecular modeling of soft and nanostructured materials. We develop and apply theoretical models and computer simulations. Our goal is to understand how molecular interactions and nanoscale [...]
Biomimetic Nanofluidic Architectures
The virtues of working with nanofluidic elements are being increasingly recognized by the biomimetics research community. This has led to the emergence of a research area that is currently at the forefront of materials science [...]
Functional Macromolecular and Supramolecular Materials
In the recent years, the combination of polymer chemistry and supramacromolecular assembly has demonstrated unparalleled versatility to build up functional materials entirely from scratch. For instance, it is now well accepted that the manipulation of [...]
Soft Surfaces and Interfaces
The chemistry that occurs at interfaces plays a determinant role in our everyday life, ranging from biological to large–scale industrial processes. This can be observed when following the development of novel biosensors or efficient catalysts [...]
