Research area

Research activities are in the field of materials science, organic/inorganic chemistry and physics.
Specific research interests focus on:
- development of new and improved metal oxides by the solid state synthesis, mechanochemical synthesis, complex polymerization, combustion, hydrothermal, electrospinning and soft/hard templating methods for the fabrication of gas and humidity sensors, components for transparent electronics and sputtering targets utilized in thin film processing by PVD method;
- lead-free piezoelectric films for microelectromechanical systems and efficient energy harvesting;
- modification/improvement of specific polymer materials to be used as active components in organic solar cells.
