Since the end of the 1990s, the PMN group has been actively working on nanomaterials, their structure and their properties, building on previous experience with spectroscopic optical properties of conjugated systems. From this beginning we have developed a wide range of current activities.
The area 'Nanostructures, nanocomposites' covers four key areas:
- The synthesis and modification of nanostructures such as nanotubes, nanowires and nanoparticles,
- Macroscopic arrangement of nanoscale materials (nanocomposites, porous silicon, ...),
- Study of specific nanomaterial properties and development of appropriate tools : materials modelling, nanomechanics, SNOM (near-field optical microscopy), ...
- Development of new OLED materials.
