Our Research Group

Research in advanced organic materials has been continuing at Hull for the past 50 years, well before many types of commercial applications evolved.  For example, our work on the synthesis of liquid-crystalline materials in the 1970's brought forth the first commercially viable liquid crystal materials for use in LCDs.

The Queen's Award for Technological Achievement was conferred upon the University in 1979 in recognition of this research.

Our group currently consists of around 15 people, earning a world-wide reputation for the quality and value of the work it performs.
