The FunNanoSurf group focuses on the development of new photo- and/or electronically sensitive functional molecular systems, methodologies and devices for the deposition and use of such materials on substrates. The study of the different ways of commercialization of devices to aid molecular deposition is framed within a recent project awarded at European level, ERC-2022-PoC2 101138186, entitled: "Launching of a universal sublimation technology for molecular transfer on substrates (smolSUB)".

The work is related to market research and analysis/advertising of various devices created by the group for their subsequent validation to study at what level they will be more interesting to be launched to the market.
