Organic and Biomolecular Chemistry for Nanotechnology

18 SEPTEMBER 14:00 - 15:30

TT.XI - Technical Multi-Track with Parallel SYMPOSIA
Organic and Biomolecular Chemistry for Nanotechnology
Co-organized with Sapienza University of Rome Chair: Daniele ROCCO, Sapienza University of Rome
Nature offers many different examples of nano-sized objects and nano-structured materials, thus representing a fascinating source of inspiration for all scientists interested in nanotechnology. Biomolecules can be used as building blocks, allowing to introduce specific functional groups on nanomaterials; moreover, by exploiting supramolecular interactions it is possible to obtain nano-architectures with controlled shape and well-defined properties. The fine tuning of organic nanomaterials morphology and the combination of bioactive organic compounds with inorganic nanostructures enables a wide range of useful applications. Herein, we will focus on the use of organic and biomolecular chemistry tools in nanotechnology, discussing both fundamental science issues (e.g. structural and synthetic aspects) and applications.
