Non-Carbon Backbone Polytelluroxane
Lecturer: Prof. Huaping Xu
Πέμπτη 16 Οκτωβρίου 2025 at 15:00
In contrast to other main group elements, group VI elements are rarely observed to form long linear polymer main chains. We reported the synthesis and characterizations of polytelluroxane, a polymer with an inorganic backbone constituted of tellurium [...]Innovative technologies for implantable orthopaedic devices
Lecturer: Prof. Nicola Baldini
Τετάρτη 08 Οκτωβρίου 2025 at 15:00
The Istituto Ortopedico Rizzoli has played a pioneering role in the development of orthopaedic implants, from the early contributions of Codivilla to the advances under Pizzoferrato in biomaterials research and biocompatibility testing. Building on t [...]The effect of interfacial stresses on foam and emulsion stability
Lecturer: Asst. Prof. Manolis Chatzigiannakis
Παρασκευή 26 Σεπτεμβρίου 2025 at 16:00
The stability and rheology of multiphase materials, such as foams and emulsions, are largely governed by the properties of their interfaces and the behavior of thin liquid films (TLFs) separating interacting droplets or bubbles. When two bubbles come [...]Stimuli-responsive natural lipid droplets for selective lipid trafficking
Lecturer: Assoc. Prof. Costas Nikiforidis
Παρασκευή 26 Σεπτεμβρίου 2025 at 15:00
Natural lipid droplets (LDs or oleosomes) play a crucial role in the biological function of cells, due to their ability to traffic lipids through their triacylglycerol core. By combining experimental techniques with molecular dynamics simulations, we [...]Emergent behaviors of self-organized, soft matter systems
Lecturer: Emmanouela Filippidi
Πέμπτη 12 Ιουνίου 2025 at 14:00
While reductionism, which operates on the idea that to understand the behavior of a complex system we need to break it down to its constituent parts and understand the physics that governs each of the parts, is an extremely powerful and necessary app [...]Designing Solid Polymer Electrolytes for Lithium, Beyond Lithium, and a Sustainable Future
Lecturer: Emmanouil Glynos
Παρασκευή 30 Μαΐου 2025 at 14:00
As the demand for high-performance, sustainable energy storage systems intensifies, lithium-based battery technologies remain at the forefront due to their high energy density and technological maturity. However, to meet future challenges in safety, [...]Exploring 2D materials with theory and simulation
Lecturer: Georgios Kopidakis
Πέμπτη 29 Μαΐου 2025 at 12:00
Two-dimensional (2D) materials of atomic thickness exhibit interesting physics and show great promise in electronics, optoelectronics, quantum technologies, catalysis, clean energy and environment applications. Beyond graphene, many 2D materials with [...]Biomaterials for Precision Medicine
Lecturer: Dr. Edmondo Battista
Πέμπτη 15 Μαΐου 2025 at 14:00
The talk will explore biomaterials in precision healthcare, highlighting two key areas: the use of functionalized particles—such as hydrogels and microgels—for multiplexed detection of biological targets in in-vitro diagnostics, and the design of [...]Η Ιστορία των Επιστημών στην Επικοινωνία της Επιστήμης
Lecturer: Dr. Emmanouil Kartsonakis
Παρασκευή 04 Απριλίου 2025 at 14:00
H Επικοινωνία της Επιστήμης στοχεύει να αναδείξει τις διαδρομές μέσα από τις οποίες συγκροτούνται οι επιστήμες και η τεχνολογία. Να προσ [...]Advanced Functional Materials as Conductometric Gas Sensors
Lecturer: Emmanouil Gagaoudakis
Παρασκευή 24 Ιανουαρίου 2025 at 14:00
Gas sensors are of great importance in a wide variety of sectors, such as medical, food safety/smart packaging, energy (flammable/explosive gases) as well as environment (monitoring of air quality). Thus, nitric oxide (NO), carbon dioxide (CO2), hydr [...]
