The project is aimed to investigate intra- and intermolecular interactions in polymeric composite materials through luminescence methods. Small angle X-ray and neutron scattering is used to obtain structural information about supramolecular structure formation of polymer-inorganic composites. The studies are concerned with polymeric composite materials, bacterial cellulose, metal-polymer complexes, lanthanides.
Currently, it is important to create new functional smart materials in the field of optoelectronics. Such materials should interface several applications: biology and engineering, medicine and physics. As a result, the chain of research from the chemical structure of matter, to the supramolecular organization of matter, to the functioning of the material should be concentrated in one project.
