Aim of the research project has been the synthesis of cyclopeptides and cyclopeptoids in order to investigate their structural properties and catalytic activities. In particular, studies of the arrangement and the cyclopeptoids ...

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 ...

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 European ...

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 ...

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 that ...

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 ...

The aim of this PhD project has been to develop new synthetic strategies in enantioselective preparation of natural products. In particular my attention has been focused on preparation of some natural metabolite, containing ...

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 ...

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 ...

Pharmaceutical compounds constitute one of the most important emerging classes of environmental pollutants. Recent studies have discovered their occurrence in environmental samples investigated worldwide, including different ...
