Manuel Laborde Award

Our group is pleased to announce that Andrés Mosquera Vallín has been awarded the Manuel Laborde Werlinden Prize for his Master’s Thesis.

The work was carried out at the Materials Physics Center (CFM), within the [PESA]lab. The project proposes a specialised service in surface and interface engineering aimed at optimising functional polymeric materials for flexible and advanced electronics.

This award includes a financial prize of 3,000 euros, as well as support from BIC Gipuzkoa. The awards ceremony took place at the Gipuzkoa School of Engineering of the University of the Basque Country (EHU).

New publication

We are pleased to announce that our article “Mesoporous Thin Film Architectures: Addressing Material Demands through Molecular Self-Assembly” has been published in Accounts of Materials Research and selected for the front cover of the journal.

This work presents an in-depth perspective on the design of mesoporous thin film architectures based on molecular self-assembly, highlighting how precise control at the nanoscale can address emerging material demands.

The article is available online at: https://pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/accountsmr.5c00262

National project awarded funding

We are happy to share that our project “Tailoring Bottlebrush Polymer Architectures and Confinement Strategies for the Development of Advanced Energy Materials (TACOS)” has been awarded funding by the Spanish Research Agency.

The project (reference PID2024-157277NA-I00) focuses on exploring how bottlebrush polymer architectures and confinement strategies can be used to develop new materials for energy applications.

This grant will allow us to continue and expand our research on advanced polymer systems, and we are very much looking forward to the exciting work ahead.
