Polymers BUAP

The Polymer group was founded by Judith Percino Z. PhD. and Victor Manuel Chapela Castañares PhD. in 1993.

The Polymers group’s research addresses fundamental problems in physical chemistry of materials, as is the property-structure relationship. Research is conducted on experimental and theoretical calculations of unconventional materials with low and high molecular weight in order to relate to their physical-chemical properties, to obtain feedback on the design of new compounds and bring them level synthesis and so improve the physical-chemical properties. Among those properties studied are phenomena such as photochromism, fluorescence, the polyelectrolyte effect, and conductivity.

Current issues related to changes in the molecular structure of materials, and key answering questions about everyday phenomena which are not entirely understood, are addressed. For example, ¿why is it that some materials exhibit fluorescence only as liquids?, ¿why not in solid state?, or why only in solid state? Or more so, ¿what makes materials have higher quantum efficiency? The synthesis of low molecular weight compounds functionalized to achieve polymers is carried out, which can be useful as electro-optical sensors, among other applications.
