Short description of the company / technology
Organic and applied organic, organometallic colored polymer and nanomaterials chemistry
Principal subjects of interest are:
· Organic synthesis towards molecular electronics devices: the development of new synthetic methodology based on organometallic monomers and polymers incorporating azo dye moieties has been the focus of our research interest.
· Nanoscience research: the research centers on nanomaterials, of a particular interest, dye-doped silica nanoparticles. Bioconjugation of this silica adds unique biofunctions with various molecules such as peptides, antibodies and DNA molecules.
