Welcome to the Tanguy Group

We work as part of a team of physicist, chemical engineers, material scientists, and electrical engineers. We utilize principles from chemistry, physics and material sciences to develop flexible and stretchable materials, electronics and energy devices.

Dual response strain sensors

Congratulations to Saul Carrasco-Saavedra, supervised by David Mota-Morales at the CFATA for his first publication. The work aimed to develop bio-based and biodegradable strain sensors and was accepted in Advanced Materials Interfaces (IF=5.4)

Self-strengthening recyclable thermoset

Congratulations to Nicole Tratnik, supervised by Ning Yan at the University of Toronto. The work aimed at producing bio-based alternatives to epoxy thermosets. The innovative material could be reformed and strengthened when recycled. The work was published in Chemical Engineering Journal (IF=15.1)

Biodegradable wireless moisture sensor

Our team successfully developed a nanocellulose-supported flexible wireless communication devices. All the elements of the device are natural and the tag can detect moisture in the surrounding environment. The work was published in Chemical Engineering Journal (IF=15.1).

Lab News

• November 8, 2023. Dr. Tanguy is happy to announce the beginning of a new adventure. Starting February 2024, the Tanguy group opens at the National Autonomous University of Mexico in the Center for Applied Physics and Advanced Technology. We will be looking for Master, Ph.D., and Postdoctoral applications. More information coming soon.
