The research activity is mainly aimed at the development and characterization of composite and functionalized polymeric materials with new and / or improved properties. The analytical characterization of the materials using the different techniques available (thermal, spectroscopic, microscopic and chromatographic) allows to evaluate the structure-property correlation of the materials previously prepared by mixing and modification. In research supporting, I also deal with management and technical aspects of environmental issues (waste management), technology transfer activities (activities for third parties) and technical aspects related to the acquisition of goods and services for the laboratory
