New metal catalysts for the synthesis of polyolefins and bioderived polymers
(2018-02-28)
The aim of PhD project is the synthesis of new metal catalysts active in the polymerization of polar
monomer and α-olefins. In the last decade, transition metal complexes bearing tetradentate bis(phenolato)
ligands are ...
Sustainable catalysis by polymer supported gold nanoparticles
(2016-03-16)
Gold Nanoparticles are nanomaterials whose properties are completely different from the ones of the bulk material. Nowadays many chemists have been using them as catalysts which work under mild conditions and respect the ...
Supported gold nanoparticles as promising catalysts in sustainable organic synthesis
(2021-03-23)
Gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) emerged as very promising catalysts in a lot of organic reactions and industrial
applications. These catalysts are in fact capable of catalysing chemical processes under mild conditions and
according ...
Molecular dynamics investigations of drug-cell membrane interactions
(2013-04-22)
The cell membrane functions as a platform for the assembly of many signal transduction pathways and provides an additional level of regulation in cell signaling networks.

Redox proteins for the development of biosensors
(2011-02-21)
In recent years the field of chemical sensors and optical biosensors has been developed considereably. A biosensor is a device composed of a biological component (Borisov and Wolfbeis 2008) that interacts with a target ...
Sustainable approaches for the synthesis and the chemical degradation of polyesters
(2023-03-03)
Petrochemical-based plastics have a significant impact on modern society, as underlined by their high
production and countless applications. Indeed, the production of plastics has increased over the past 50 years,
reaching ...

The progressive reduction in the availability of oil resources, the unstoppable increase in their costs
and the growing need for efficient environmental protection, imply an urgent development of new
technologies for the ...
Biodegradable and functional aliphatic co-polyesters
(2016-03-15)
Over the past decades, aliphatic polyesters have found rapidly increasing interest. Linear aliphatic polyesters, such as poly(glycolide) (PGA), poly(lactide) (PLA), poly(ε−caprolactone) (PCL) and their copolymers have found ...
Olefin Metathesis Reactions Promoted by Ru-Catalysts with a Syn Substituted N-heterocyclic Carbene Backbone
(2014-03-06)
The development of efficient catalytic systems dedicated to the formation of C−C double bonds from simple to highly functionalized alkenes represents a great challenge in modern organic synthesis. In addressing this ...
