RESARCH INTEREST
Topics : Polymer blends, Nanostructured polymers, Polymer nanocomposites, Block Copolymers
Summary : My research activity concerns the nanostructuration (ie the formation of domains of nanometric size) in polymers. I was initially interested in reactive systems, for which nanostructuration occurs during the crosslinking process and progressively moved to other research activities such as nanocomposites, organized mesophases of amphiphilic block copolymers in liquid matrices, thin films of block copolymers or polymer blends. My current main research activity concerns the study of the self-organization process of block-polymer thin film upon exposure to solvent vapor exposure. This work has a fundamental aspect (the mechanisms of organization of these copolymers are still unclear) and practical because these self-organized thin films are interesting precursors for applications (etching templates or controlled growth of nanoparticles).
