Research activities

The research activities of the Laboratory for Chemistry of Novel Materials at the University of Mons/Materia Nova aim at:

• studying the morphological, electronic, optical, and transport properties of organic (semi)conducting materials in thin films;
• determining the chemical nature, the structure, and the electronic properties of organic/organic and organic/inorganic interfaces;
• understanding the self-assembly of functional (macro)molecules at surfaces;
• designing novel supramolecular materials that combine biomolecules (nucleic acids or proteins) and (macro)molecular compounds with specific electronic and optical properties.
