Development of molecular models of interfaces using a multi-scale hybrid particle-field approach: application to composite materials and biomembranes
(Universita degli studi di Salerno, 2014-03-07)The rule of the interface in systems including polymer composites and block-‐ copolymer interacting with biomembrane has been investigated by computational approach. In particular, for the poly ... -
Functionalized Syndiotactic Polystyrene
(Universita degli studi di Salerno, 2012-02-14)La sintesi di materiali polimerici da metodo di modificazione, per ottenere le proprietà desiderate in polimeri, è un argomento importante in chimica dei polimeri e tecnologia. Molto spesso, proprietà desiderate non sono ... -
In silico study of protein-protein interactions
(Universita degli studi di Salerno, 2013-01-30)Protein-protein interactions are at the basis of many of the most important molecular processes in the cell, which explains the constantly growing interest within the scientific community for the structural characterization ... -
Mesoscale Modeling of Carbon Black/Polymer Interfaces: Linking Atomistic and Coarse-Grained Particle-Field Representations
(Universita degli studi di Salerno, 2020-02-11)The research activity, described in this Ph. D. thesis, was dedicated to the development of a novel carbon black (CB) primary particle model, with accurate morphology, to be used in coarse-grained (CG) molecular dynamics ... -
A molecular dymanics view of structure and reactivity
(Universita degli studi di Salerno, 2011-02-21)The eld of computer simulations has developed into a very important branch of science providing a guess at the interactions between molecules to obtain predictions of properties as accurate as required, subject to ... -
New green nano-materials for the reduction of friction and wear in lubricants for power transmissions
(Universita degli studi di Salerno, 2021-10-25)Nanomaterials have emerged as future environmentally sustainable lubricant additives to improve conventional lubricants such as car oils, industrial oils, grease and metalworking fluids. In particular, as far as this thesis ... -
New Technologies in Tires: From Layered Nanofillers to Metathesis Reactions
(Universita degli studi di Salerno, 2014-03-07)Tires are annually manufactured in more than one billion of artefacts and the ever increasing demand is on the basis of the efforts in finding new solutions for more performant, sustainable and durable products. This PhD ... -
Polymeric aerogels
(Universita degli studi di Salerno, 2014-03-07)Aerogels are a unique class of materials characterized by a highly porous network, being attractive for many applications such as thermal and acoustic insulation, capacitors or catalysis. In more recent years, polymeric ... -
Polymeric films with co-crystalline and nanoporous crystalline phases: orientations, chirality and possible applications in photonic crystals
(Universita degli studi di Salerno, 2015)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 ... -
Polymorphism and co-crystalline phases of polymers
(Universita degli studi di Salerno, 2012-02-04)Crystalline phases are extremely relevant for properties and applications of many polymeric materials. In fact, their amount, structure and morphology constitute the main factors controlling physical properties of fibers, ... -
Properties and Applications of Nanoporous-Crystalline Polymers
(Universita degli studi di Salerno, 2023-02-28)Nanoporous-crystalline (NC) forms, i.e. crystalline structure presenting nanocavities or nanochannels inside the crystalline lattice, are possible only for two polymers, both commercially available: syndiotactic polystyrene ... -
Towards new catalysts for polymerization of ethylene and copolymerization of ethylene with carbon monoxide: a rational design approach
(Universita degli studi di Salerno, 2023-03-10)The steric and the electronic environment are the fundamental parameters that define the catalytic properties of any active site. For late transition metal catalysts, they determine polymer molecular weight and branching ... -
Towards the rational design of new catalysts for organic transformations
(Universita degli studi di Salerno, 2014-02-28)The main goal of this PhD thesis has been providing a computational support to the development of new or better performing catalysts, leading to the synthesis of new materials. In this context, it is worth remembering ... -
Transport properties of drug precursor molecules in nanoporous polymers
(Universita degli studi di Salerno, 2014-02-28)This PhD thesis is framed in the European project CUSTOM, which aims to develop a small size device able to detect drug precursors molecules in the air, even when they are just in traces. The project is part of the ...
