Reserach lines and group information
Our research groups is multidisciplinary. This project is focused in the preparation of different materials with the main goal of addressing some challenges of the society. Our research can be classified in four main lines: a) generation of new photoactive compounds, materials and processes  (photoinduced polymerizations, photofunctional materials and molecular photoswitches); b) preparation of metal and silica nanoparticulated materials for catalysis, biomedical applications (silver and organosilica NPs) and sensing (dendrimers); c) fluorinated molecules and materials for coatings and household applications; d) synthesi of polymers, searching new catalysts (benzoxazines, cyanoacrylaes, epoxy resins).
