In Smart Functional Materials Group, we are interested in developing advanced thin films, nanostructures, nanocomposites and suspensions combining perfectly optimum functionality with low cost and reliability, using simple, low temperature, cost effective and environmental friendly techniques. Applications of interest concern electromagnetic shielding, nanodielectrics, antifouling/antibacterial action, food packaging, improved mechanical behavior etc. Emphasis in given on custom made solutions based on development approaches easily adaptable to the industrial needs, including nanoadditive manufacturing.
