The team is composed by the Researchers Cristina De Monte and Lucia Ricci, the Research Fellows Leonardo Arrighetti and Giovanna Molinari and the technician Umberto Granata
Research activity carried out in this laboratory concerns:
1) rheological study on viscoelastic properties of bio-based polymers with natural additives (organic and/or inorganic);
2) characterization of the rheological behavior of innovative bio-polymer solutions in low environmental impact solvent (e.g. ionic liquids);
3) TAC test on adhesive materials.
