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 polymer composite investigatio ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
