Today, the increasingly serious lack of resources and the obsolescence of the plants present on the whole planet led to develop new ways that go beyond “traditional” chemical engineering. The research is now focusing on ...

Purpose of the PhD thesis was to develop dedicated lipid nanostructured vectors with tailored features (in terms of size, surface charge, load capability, stimuli responsive ability and stability) through the design of ...

The increase in dietary-intake-related illnesses, such as obesity, cardiovascular diseases, hypertension, diabetes and cancer, have made in recent years the development of health-and-wellness promoting foods a priority of ...

Controlled release systems for therapeutic drugs have received extensive attention in recent years, due to their great clinical potential. Biodegradable microspheres are well-recognized systems to control the release rate ...

The research of this PhD thesis has been focused on the study and realization of high cell density cultivation (HCDC) systems with auxotrophic strains of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, these latter to be used as hosts ...

The great interest of the research activity in food allergies could be attributed to the increase of allergic reactions all over the world not only in infants but even in adult age. As an alternative to the development of ...

This research work rises from collaborative activities between Alenia Aeronautica (Pomigliano D’Arco, Napoli) and the Industrial Engineering Department of University of Salerno. One of the biggest challenge facing materials ...

Durability and sustainability of cementitious materials are two important issues in the field of construction materials. Durability is defined as the ability of cementitious materials to resist weathering action, chemical ...

Hydrogels are three-dimensional, hydrophilic, polymeric networks capable of imbibing large amounts of water or biological fluids. Depending on the type of polymer, number of cross-links, presence of ionic species the ...

Carbon nanotubes are unique nanostructure with remarkable electronic, mechanical and thermal properties, some stemming from the close relation between carbon nanotubes and graphite, and some from their one-dimensional ...
