Over the last 30 years a growing interest has been direct toward the biomolecular recognition of calixarene derivatives and more in particular to the interaction with druggable target(s).1,2 The aim of this PhD thesis was ...

In this PhD thesis work, Ruthenium catalysts were covalently and non-covalently linked to carbon-based nanomaterials, in order to give self-repairing ability to the aeronautical materials. These supported catalysts have ...

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 ...

This PhD thesis is concerned with the design, synthesis and the characterization of supramolecular scaffolds for biomimetic catalysis. Development of new organocatalytic systems based upon well-designed calix[4]arene ...

New layered carbon-based materials were prepared and exhaustively characterized exploiting different characterization techniques, such as thermogravimetry (TGA), differential thermal calorimetry (DSC), Fourier transform ...

The goal of the present study is the production of new-generation coatings suitable for hard tissue implants, intended to decrease the healing time, limit infections and rejections and improve patients' life quality. Materials ...

In this thesis, new possible applications of electrospun scaffolds are presented. Besides, the interaction of human dermal fibroblasts (HDFs) with the materials has been investigated using multiphoton microscopy (MPM) ...

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 ...

In the last year, the stable isotope ratio analysis has become a useful tool with many applications in different scientific area. In particular the characteristic isotope signature of materials has permitted to identify ...

Polymers can crystallize in different crystalline forms; polymorphism is the term to indicate this ability. It is known that processing and physical properties of polymer-based materials are strongly affected by the ...
