Chemistry & Structure of novel Materials
This site is frequently under construction - visit regularly for updates.
Our group investigates anodic oxide nanostructures modified with functional organic molecules. Our aim is to create complex, multifunctional nanostructures. Methods used are anodization, self-assembled monolayers and surface analysis (SEM, ToF-SIMS, XPS..) For details with regard to our current and future projects, visit Forschung.
