May 4, 2012, 12 p.m. - Polymer nanocomposites: Preparation, characterisation and properties (Giovanni Camino)

Polymer nanocomposites are among the most promising developing polymer materials owing to their outstanding properties which are due to their hybrid organic-inorganic interphase structure. In nanocomposites early stage development, processing and characterisation were addressed by blindly applying typical microcomposites approaches, underestimating peculiarities of their material interphase scharacteristics. Moreover, initial expectations ...

May 11, 2012, 12 p.m. - Doped Silica Nanoparticles as Bright Multicolour Electrochemiluminescent Labels (Simone Zanarini)

Electrochemiluminescence (ECL) i. e. the luminescence obtained by an electrochemical stimulus, proved to be an effective ultrasensitive detection method for genomics and proteomics. However, only one type of ECL label, based on a complex of ruthenium, Ru(bpy)32+, is currently used in bioanalysis. On the other hand, many compounds are known ...

Tomorrow, 12 p.m. - Energetical valorisation of photosynthetic microorganisms (Jack Legrand)

The necessity to think about "after oil" is cyclic since the first oil crisis. It would seem that the current crisis is more crucial due the coupling between the oil rarefaction with greenhouse effect gases. Research efforts on renewable energy sources tremendously augmented these last years, and notably on biofuels. ...
