Acerca del autor

Dr Kanchan  Upadhyay has a PhD in chemistry (2013) from Pt. Ravishankar Shukla University, Raipur, C.G. (India). She is a Postdoctoral Fellow at International and Inter University Centre for Nanoscience and Nanotechnology, Mahatma Gandhi University, Kottayam. She is working on the synthesis and luminescence behaviour of rare earth doped Y₂SiO₅ phosphor at Sabu Thomas’ group.  Her recent research activities are mainly in the field of material science.

Prof. Sabu Thomas is currently the Vice Chancellor of Mahatma Gandhi University and the Founder Director and Professor of the International and Interuniversity Centre for Nanoscience and Nanotechnology. He is also a full professor of Polymer Science and Engineering at the School of Chemical Sciences of Mahatma Gandhi University, Kottayam, Kerala, India. Dr. Thomas’s ground breaking inventions in polymer nanocomposites, polymer blends, green bionanotechnological and nano-biomedical sciences, have made transformative differences in the development of new materials for automotive, space, housing and biomedical fields. Professor Thomas has received a number of national and international awards. He has published over 900 peer reviewed research papers, reviews and book chapters. 

Prof. Raunak Kumar Tamrakar has a PhD in physics from Pt. Ravishankar Shukla University, Raipur(C.G.). He is an assistant professor at “Bhilai institute of technology”, Durg (C.G.), India since 2009. His research addresses key questions in the field of material science and mainly concentrates on the luminescence behaviour of rare earth doped oxides, aluminates, silicates etc., based phosphor materials. 

De la contraportada

This book reports the basics of hybrid phosphor materials, their synthesis routes and their special properties and characterization techniques. It gives the reader information about the natural origins and development of hybrid materials, which are developed by combining inorganic and organic species in one material interface-determined materials. The book provides a general classification of hybrid materials, wherein inorganic materials modified by organic moieties are distinguished from organic materials or matrices modified by inorganic constituents. It gives a focus to the functionalization of organic materials by inorganic additives. The application areas covered include optoelectronic field, sensor applications, biological and environmental applications.
