Research Interests
His most recent scientific interests are expressed in the field of polymeric materials science with particular attention to the preparation, modification and characterization of mono-or multiphase polymer systems with functional properties for applications such as active and intelligent materials responsive to external stimuli of various kinds, or for applications in the energy field. They include the following 3 main research lines:
1) study of thermoplastic polymer materials responsive to different external stimuli (mechanical, light, temperature, vapours) on the basis of aggregachromic fluorophores;
2) preparation of new electro- or ionic-conduction polymeric materials for the development of generators of alternative energy sources; Preparation and characterization of luminescent solar concentrators for photovoltaics.
3) preparation and characterization of polymeric dispersants and viscosity improvers for lubricants and fuels detergents (collaboration with ENI). Study of the dispersion behaviour of carbon nanostructures in organic matrices.
