Laboratory 2

The research focuses on the nanofabrication, the study of physical-chemical phenomena in nanometric scale and in the properties of material (biomaterial) resulting from its nanostructuration. The research in the laboratory of Sergio Moya focuses on the nanofabrication, using elements of soft matter like synthetic polymers, biopolymers, membranes, etc; and in the phenomena associated with the nanometric scale and the physical properties resulting from the nanostructuration of a material (biomaterial). The laboratory is particularly interested in the design and fabrication of surfaces and complex colloidal systems (nanoparticles, nanowires, latexes, capsules) with structure and properties controlled at nanometric level, and their eventual medical applications or in controlled drug delivery. This work will complement with studies of the physical chemistry of supramolecular interactions and the application of hydrogen and coordination bonding to nanofabrication. his research laboratory will combine self assembly, surface synthesis with different characterization techniques: Quartz Crystal Microbalance with Dissipation, Fluorescence Spectroscopy, Confocal Microscopy, TEM, AFM.

LbLBRANE

LbLBRANE is an EU-funded research project. It aspires to carry on membrane technology for water treatment while tackling a common problem of membrane separation systems : membrane fouling. The whole approach is based on the concept of layer-by-layer (LbL) deposition of polyelectrolytes on membrane surfaces. LbL technology will be applied to develop a versatile and generic procedure for the fast fabrication of low-cost, stable, and chemical-resistant polyelectrolyte membranes.
