Research
Since 2011 his research has two principal and experimental lines:
Ø Optoelectronic Properties of Nanostructures applied to photo-electronic devices
Ø Synthesis and characterization of new hybrid templates “organic molecules- polymers” for biomedical applications.
In both, had been involve, the design and instrumentation of new equipment and devices and the synthesis and characterization of new materials.

In the present work we synthesized a Hybrid template based on Multiwall Carbon Nanotubes (NTC) and Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) for biomedical applications. Hybrid template synthesis and its functionalization were done by Gas-Face functionalization assisted by microwave irradiation. This process reduce the time of reaction to some minutes,
