The Functional Surfaces and Interfaces Research Unit is formed by two Research Groups: the Functional Nanomaterials and Surfaces (FunNanoSurf) group and the Physical Chemistry of Surfaces and Interfaces (Surfaces) group.

Both groups have in common the study at the nanoscale of structural and electronic properties of nanostructures, surfaces and interfaces.

The FunNanoSurf group focuses more on molecular-based, supramolecular and polymeric aggregates.

The Surfaces group on the synthesis, characterization and manipulation of organic semiconductor surfaces and interfaces.
