Physics of Organic Solid State; Physics and Physical Chemistry of Polymers: - dielectric, conducting and photoconducting properties of polymers, polymer composites and of molecular crystals and liquid crystals: dielectrics, semiconductors, photoconductors, conductors and superconductors (investigations of molecular relaxations, phase transitions, transport mechanisms of energy and charges, photogeneration, trapping and recombination of charge carriers);
- preparation and optical, thermo-optical and spectroscopic properties of liquid crystalline polymers, hydrogels and molecularly imprinted polymers;
- modification of properties of polymers by physical methods (blending, mixing, doping, preparation of composites, molecular imprinting) and investigations of relationships between structure, morphology and properties;
- luminescence, thermoluminescence and electroluminescence of macromolecular materials;
- Raman and micro-Raman spectroscopy of polymers, polymer composites and of molecular crystals; low-frequency Raman spectroscopy of polymer glasses;
