The production and physico-chemical characterization of functional composite materials for use in optoelectronics is the focus of the research activities. Compositional engineering is adapted, depending on the specific goal. Polymers, especially semiconducting ones, are generally chosen as the host-matrix for their ease of processing in the form of thin-films and/or electrospun nanofibers. Their native properties are enriched through blending with carbon nanomaterials and/or inorganic/hybrid nanoparticles. Covalent or non-covalent functionalization of the fillers is envisaged from time to time, when either scarce compatibility with the matrix is found or defects healing is required. Tests of the produced materials in real devices is carried out relying on external collaborations with physicists and engineers.
