Fabrication and characterization on neuromorphic devices using resistive switch and/or organic electrochemical transistor architectures. [Press release 1] [Press release 2]
Development of facile and precise fabrication techniques of functional polymer nanofilms using bottom-up approaches such as Langmuir-Blodgett and Layer-by-layer technique.
Polymer surface properties such as adhesion and adsorption properties were investigated for the development of organic-inorganic hybrid materials.
