Welcome to the Functional Hybrid Materials Lab.
Here, we explore how hybrid organic–inorganic materials behave when they melt, flow, and transform. By studying their structure at every stage, from crystalline solids to glassy phases and thin films, we uncover the principles that govern their stability, thermal response, and functionality. Our work aims to design safer, more durable, and more sustainable materials for next-generation technologies.
