Lab
Organic Nanomaterials Lab (ONMAT)

The Organic Nanomaterials Laboratory focuses on developing sensor materials that respond to external chemical and physical stimuli by exhibiting changes in color and fluorescence. Target molecules and systems include volatile organic ompounds, ammonia, pH, adulterated gasoline, anti-counterfeiting inks as well as mechanical force, heat and light. Polydiacetylene (PDA), a conjugated polymer, has been used as a key sensing material and 3D and nanotube-based sensor systems have been developed to improve sensor sensitivity and selectivity. The lab also focuses on fabrication of functional supramolecular architectures, derived from self-assembly of small organic molecules.
