Nanostructured Functional Materials

Our objective at the Nanostructured Functional Materials research group (NANOSFUN - nanosfun.com) is to develop new strategies to obtain molecular (bio)nanostructures, with adapted properties and smart responses to external stimuli, which can be incorporated into solid matrices, surfaces or as stable colloidal suspensions, while retaining their initial features and performance. For this, a wide range of molecular and biological building blocks are employed, using Nature as a strong source of inspiration. We work with the idea that ultimate control on every length scale and material interfaces is required to reach the intrinsic limits and functions of these (supra)molecular materials, and with the aim of finding applications for them oriented at improving our everyday life.
