Conductive Polymer Macroengineering
Our Research
Although polymers are usually insulator, a skillful family of organic polymers behave as conductor or semiconductor, and are already integrated in our everyday lives as bendable screens, electronic medical devices, solar cells etc. These materials are becoming every day more influent and demanded in many scientific backgrounds, like bioelectronics, energy, biotechnology, etc.

Our Objective
Our aim is to design, synthesize and apply innovative monomers for the conductive polymers of the future, aiming properties like electronic conductivity, flexibility, biocompatibility and recyclability. The chemical possible varieties and the solid synthetic background will adapt to any further on demand ad hoc uses.
