David López Díaz

David López Díaz is a Researcher in the Physical Chemistry Department at the University of Salamanca. He completed his PhD studies on surface properties of Langmuir and Gibbs monolayers formed by surfactant-polymer mixtures. From 2008 to 2010, he was a postdoctoral researcher at the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM), studying rheological properties of surfactant mixtures and synthesizing Janus particles. His research focuses on nanomaterials, graphene oxide, colloids, and surface chemistry, with applications in energy storage, CO₂ capture, and antibacterial agents. Key techniques include Langmuir-Blodgett deposition and advanced spectroscopic methods like Raman and neutron reflectivity. His work bridges fundamental material science with environmental and biomedical applications.

Research interests include: nanocomposite design, interfacial phenomena, optoelectronic properties of nanoparticles, and CO₂ adsorption mechanisms. His work emphasizes understanding chemical composition effects on material behavior, particularly in 2D materials and surface-functionalized systems.

Notable contributions include studies on graphene oxide film stability at air-water interfaces and the antibacterial potential of N-doped carbon nanoparticles. He has published extensively in journals like Coatings, Journal of Colloid and Interface Science, and ACS Applied Materials and Interfaces.
