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

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 [...]

Optical Spectroscopy and Twistronics: Engineering Novel States in Atomically Thin Materials

Lecturer: Ioannis Paradeisanos

Παρασκευή 20 Δεκεμβρίου 2024 at 14:00

Two-dimensional (2D) materials, such as graphene and monolayers of transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs), exhibit exceptional light-matter interactions due to their reduced dimensionality and unique crystal symmetries. While only a few dozen layere [...]

Serendipity versus determinism – ‘Curiosity-driven’ research closing an eye to applications: the case of nanomaterials

Lecturer: Stefanos Mourdikoudis

Παρασκευή 13 Δεκεμβρίου 2024 at 14:00

Στην ομιλία αυτή, ο κ. Μουρδικούδης θα παρουσιάσει αρχικά ένα μέρος του ερευνητικού έργου που έχει επιτελέσει ως τώρα. Αυτό σχετίζεται κυ [...]

Multiscale Crystal Lattice Chemistry for Unusual Bulk Inorganic Solids

Lecturer: In Chung

Δευτέρα 21 Οκτωβρίου 2024 at 16:30

Inorganic solids inevitably involve a certain level of either intrinsic or extrinsic crystal imperfections, which are embedded in the bulk crystal matrix. They can be atomic-level point defects generated by incorporating vacancies and atoms for dopin [...]

Stability and Electrical Performance Improvement of Transparent p-Type CuI for Large Area Electronics

Lecturer: Myung-Gil Kim

Δευτέρα 21 Οκτωβρίου 2024 at 16:00

The transparent electronic materials have been essential electronic components in large area electronics, such as display, thin-film solar cell, and wearable electronics. Especially the a-IGZO and ITO have been successfully implemented as thin-film t [...]

Memory of Soft Particle Glasses

Lecturer: Michel Cloitre

Παρασκευή 28 Ιουνίου 2024 at 14:00

Disordered materials such as glasses, gels, granular materials remember their mechanical history: they trap residual stresses, store directional memories, and age. A lot of efforts have been devoted to encode information in glasses, but the preparati [...]

From order to chaos: Case studies of cellulose and lignin materials Cancelled

Lecturer: Alexandros Efraim Alexakis

Παρασκευή 17 Μαΐου 2024 at 14:00

Wood is a natural bio-composite that is composed of primarily cellulose (~40%), hemicellulose (~30%) and lignin (~30%). The former is a partially crystalline polysaccharide composed of glucose units which reinforce the matrix made of hemicellulose an [...]

Superabsorbent biopolymer matrices from agro-polymers: Rheology, processing, and applications

Lecturer: Antonio Guerrero

Παρασκευή 19 Απριλίου 2024 at 14:00

Superabsorbent polymers (SAP) based on acrylic derivatives exhibit remarkable properties, as they can absorb an impressive amount of water (i.e. from 10 to 1000 times their weight, in g/g). Unfortunately, these polymers are challenged by a poor biode [...]
