Congratulations to our Ph.D. student Alberto Gobbo for his scientific publication entitled “A Simple Synthetic Route to Well-Defined [Pd(NHC)Cl(1-tBu-indenyl)] Pre-catalysts for Cross-Coupling Reactions” in the European Journal of Inorganic Chemistry. A simple and eco-friendly synthetic protocol leading to [Pd(NHC)Cl(1-tBu-indenyl)] complexes bearing different saturated and unsaturated NHC ligands (NHC=IPr, IPrCl, IMes, SIMes, IPr*) is reported.

Prende il via il nuovo progetto DSCM di comunicazione della scienza nato dalla collaborazione con Microbiologia Italia.
Il primo articolo divulgativo è stato realizzato dal Dott. Michele Nottoli e curato dal Dott. Nicola Di Fidio. Esso è disponibile al seguente link: www.microbiologiaitalia.it/metodi-multiscala“
Congratulations to our Ph.D. student Simona Braccini for her scientific publication entitled “Effect of Network Topology on the Protein Adsorption Behavior of Hydrophilic Polymeric Coatings” in the journal “ACS Applied Polymer Materials”. We prepared polyurethane (PU) network coatings with various cross-linking densities that were based on polypropylene glycol (PPG) and polytetramethylene glycol (PTMG) macrodiols with different lengths and containing similar amounts of hydrophilic methoxy polyethylene glycol (mPEG) dangling chains.
Congratulations to our Ph.D. student Simona Braccini for her scientific publication entitled “Levulinic acid-based bioplasticizers: a facile approach to enhance the thermal and mechanical properties of polyhydroxyalkanoates” in the journal “Materials Advances”. Plasticizers are the most used polymer additives world-wide. Nowadays, conventional plasticizers (e.g. phthalates) do not meet the requirements in terms of renewability, biodegradability and cytotoxicity that have become necessary, especially if they are compounded with biopolymers.
