Research and academic profile

Research profile

In recent years, the group of José L. Segura has defined and established the following fields as targets

• Synthesis and applications of  covalent organic frameworks by dynamic covalent bond formation
• Syntheses of  molecular and macromolecular π-conjugated systems including (i) nanosized π-conjugated oligomers and dendrimers, (ii) functional conjugated polymers, (iii) n-Dopable organic materials, (iv) functionalized graphene derivatives
• Electrochemical and photophysical characterization of π-conjugated systems

 

Manifold national and international cooperations enable us to implement the newly developed materials in the fabrication of field effect transistors, organic light emitting diodes, organic solar cells,  organic lasers and batteries among others.

A survey over the areas of our research can be found in the following review articles and book chapters written by us:

• Oligothiophene-Naphthalimide Hybrids Connected through Rigid and Conjugated Linkers in Organic Electronics: An Overview, Mater. 2, 222 (2021)
