Research topics
Chemistry of carbon nanotubes
Organic functionalization of carbon nanotubes through different approaches, including covalent linking, endohedral encapsulation (peapods) and supramolecular (non covalent) exohedral interactions. Characterization through Raman and IR spectroscopy, UV-vis-NIR adsorption spectroscopy, fluorescence spectorscopy, dynamic light scattering (DLS), thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA, available also as a service for non-academic customers).
