Nanoelectrode ensembles (NEES) are prepared, functionalized and tested to prepare enzymatic and affinity sensors suitable for advanced molecular diagnostics purposes, namely the development of a miniaturized glucose biosensor ...

Benzocyclotrimers are polycyclic compounds which can be obtained through self-coupling reactions of bicyclic olefins. This work presents the optimization of a new method for the synthesis of cyclotrimers using a feasible ...

This Thesis work was aimed at studying the catalytic upgrading of an important biomass derived platform chemical such as levulinic acid (LA). In particular, the hydrogenation/dehydration of levulinic acid (LA) to γ-valerolactone ...

The activity and stability of most of proteins in a biological organism are subject to metal ion binding. Heavy metals such as arsenic and mercury are able to interact with proteins and, due to their impact on human health ...

This thesis encompasses different topics in the research field of IR spectroscopy, which includes line-by-line parameter and absorption cross sections retrievals, medium and high resolution analysis, and investigations ...

The steam reforming of biomass derivatives such as ethanol and glycerol is an attractive process to produce hydrogen, the energy carrier of the future. The fulfillment of this process on industrial scale is strictly related ...

L’attività di ricerca di questo lavoro di tesi riguarda lo studio di filtri inorganici con un ampio range di schermatura UV e ridotta attività fotocatalitica da applicare in cosmetica per la protezione della pelle contro ...

La scoperta dei laghi di idrocarburi presenti sulla superficie di Titano ha sollevato la questione dell’esistenza di membrane in grado di auto-assemblarsi in idrocarburi che potrebbero essere alla base della vita extraterrestre. ...
