Areas of Research

Our research focuses on the development and characterization of hybrid organic-inorganic materials for applications in sensors, coatings and interface modification. Sol-gel chemistry is used to develop materials with finely tuned physical properties including surface area, pore sizes, index of refraction, surface chemistry and chemical durability. These materials are then modified with additives to provide specialized chemical and physical capabilities. These include metals for conductivity, ligands for metal chelation and inorganic solids for improved mechanical properties.
