MAURI MICHELE

I gained my experience in Materials Science through a MSc degre (Laurea), PhD in Nanostructures and Nanotechnologies, and various postdoc experiences in Germany and Italy, some funded by industrial projects others by institutional research grants. My main scientific interest is the relationship between microscopic and macroscopic properties of polymers and nanocomposite materials, especially with regard to innovative and sustainable applications in the fields of energy and quality of life. In line with my scientific sector, industrial chemistry, I am also interested in researching and developing synergies between the advanced results of scientific research and the innovation needs of companies. I have direct experience of numerous techniques for the characterization of polymeric materials and nanostructures, such as DSC, TGA, DMA, DLS, SEM, TEM, BET, GPC, WAXS and especially NMR. I have thoroughly studied various aspects of solid state and solution nuclear magnetic resonance, also contributing to the development of new techniques and applications. In addition, I am a founding partner of two spin-offs. I have published nearly 50 peer-reviewed articles, some as first author or correspondent, many of them in journals with a high general Impact Factor (Nature Photonics, Chemical Science) or in reference journals for the sector (Macromolecules, J.Pol.Sci B). I totaled about 1200 citations, and h-index 19. Numerous articles arise from collaborations developed independently, with the creation of a network of contacts at national and international level, in which I am pleased to include new undergraduates and PhD students.
