Imo-imomec is a joint research institute of Hasselt University and imec where chemists, physicists and engineers conduct multidisciplinary materials research. We focus on advanced material systems for a sustainable and healthy society. Our core domains are energy conversion, energy storage, sustainable materials, sensors & healthcare materials and quantum technologies.
The Hasselt Diamond Workshop is a renowned annual gathering for diamond technology researchers globally. Read a short recap of the last edition here.
The Belgian team has again won the Solar Challenge, the unofficial World Solar Car Championship in Australia. "I am very proud," says professor Bart Vermang of UHasselt, who's research team helped select and laminate the solar cells on the panel of the Belgian car.
New research from the materials chemistry research group at imo-imomec offers, for the first time, insights into how defects occur in conjugated polymers. Polymers are sustainable materials with many potential applications, including use in flexible solar cells, sensors, and smartwatches.
Since the foundation of imo-imomec, (inter)national partnerships have always been treated as a priority to support and valorize our research and service activities.
