Carbon Nanomaterials & Metal-DNA hybrids

The metal-DNA systems developed by our group can be also incorporated into carbon nanomaterials (CNM; graphene, carbon nanotubes, fullerenes) with the aim to modify their inherent electrical and optical properties, thus improving the scope of their future applications.

For this purpose, we count on the great experience of Prof. Manuel J. Pérez-Mendoza and Dr. Victor Karim, who participate in the development of this research idea, contributing their extensive experience in the functionalization of CNM surfaces to adapt their surface chemistry to develop new materials, and conserving the structural characteristics of the CNM.
