Scientific Group "Sensors and smart materials"

To develop and study the properties of new "smart" materials, as well as to study the issues of their application in devices of various functionality based on advances in nanotechnology and acoustoelectronics, the staff of the Laboratory of Acoustoelectronic Processes in Solid-state Structures (Lab.173) and the Laboratory of Physical Properties of Nanocomposite Materials for Information Technology (lab.193) created an interdisciplinary group "Smart materials and sensors." Within this area, work is underway related to the development, creation and research of new composite materials with controlled parameters (smart materials) using nanomaterials and nanotechnology.

Developments and research in the field of sensor technologies are associated with the creation of new sensitive coatings for sensor devices of various functionality. The use of various technologies — acousto-electronic, magnetoelectronic, nanoelectronic, optical, conductometric, microfluidic and biotechnologies allows the development of various hybrid sensor devices based on new principles.

All the projects carried out in the Group are interdisciplinary in nature, related to the use of chemical, biological, micro and nanoelectronic and information technologies.
