Selective and Sensitive Chromogenic Detection of Cyanide and HCN in Solution and in Gas Phase
2013
Two triphenylmethane based chemodosimeters for selective and chromogenic sensing of cyanide anions in aqueous environments and of hydrogen cyanide in gas phase were prepared and studied.
Isoelectronic series of twofold coordinated Si, Ge, and Sn atoms in glassy SiO2: a luminescence study
1992
Abstract Luminescence centers causing optical absorption bands in the 5 eV region in oxygen-deficient pure (‘Si-doped’), as well as in Ge- and Sn-doped glassy SiO2 were studied. The spectral and particularly kinetic data show that in all cases luminescence centers with closely similar properties exist which constitute an isoelectronic series. They are attributed to defects, formed by electrically neutral twofold coordinated Si, Ge, and Sn atoms (T20 centers) in glassy SiO2. Twofold coordinated Si causes the characteristic ‘B2’ optical absorption band at 5.03 eV. Upon reaction with atomic hydrogen, T20 centers convert to the well known ‘H(I)’, ‘H(II)’ and ‘H(III)’ ESR-active defects. The alt…
Influence of the Substituent on Selective Photocatalytic Oxidation of Aromatic Compounds in Aqueous TiO2 Suspensions.
2006
Experimental results are reported showing that the photocatalytic oxidation of aromatic compounds containing an electron-donor group (EDG) gives rise mainly to ortho- and para-monohydroxy derivatives while in the presence of an electron-withdrawing group (EWG) all the monohydroxy derivatives are obtained.

Analysys and optimization of an end double-lap bonded joint for GFRP composite sandwich panels
2022
Although the best configuration of the joints used to connect a common GFRP sandwich panel with the main structures is the adhesively bonded one, that permit high static and fatigue performances as well as to avoid stress concentrations, mechanical or hybrid joints are still widely used in the industrial field. After a preliminary theoretical design, the optimal configuration of an end adhesively bonded double-lap joint constituted by a simple insert as internal adherent and the same face sheets as external adherent, has been researched. In detail, several experimental tests and successive numerical simulations under tensile and bending loading, performed by varying the main influence para…
Materiali Compositi Ibridi Resistenti al Fuoco
2014
La sempre crescente richiesta nell’ambito della progettazione strutturale aeronautica/aerospaziale di materiali aventi elevate perfomance meccaniche, ha determinato negli ultimi decenni la diffusione dei materiali compositi a matrice polimerica (Polymer Matrix Composites, PMCs) rinforzati prevalentemente con fibre di carbonio (Carbon Fiber Reinforced Plastic, CFRP). Le principali limitazioni nell’uso di tali compositi sono dovute all’elevata sensibilità agli agenti ambientali ed alle basse temperature di esercizio; inoltre, tali materiali mal sopportano l’esposizione al fuoco e ciò per via della facile incendiabilità non solo della matrice ma anche delle fibre. Al fine di mettere a punto un…
SVILUPPO DI COMPOSITI STRUTTURALI IBRIDI PER APPLICAZONI AERONAUTICHE
2014
La sempre crescente richiesta nell’ambito della progettazione strutturale aeronautica/aerospaziale di materiali aventi elevate perfomance meccaniche, ha determinato negli ultimi decenni la diffusione dei materiali compositi a matrice polimerica (Polymer Matrix Composites, PMCs) rinforzati prevalentemente con fibre di vetro, aramide e di carbonio (Fiber Reinforced Plastic, FRP). Le principali limitazioni nell’uso di tali compositi sono dovute all’elevata sensibilità agli agenti ambientali ed alle basse temperature di esercizio; inoltre, tali materiali mal sopportano l’esposizione al fuoco e ciò per via della facile incendiabilità non solo della matrice ma anche delle fibre (aramide e carboni…
Wet electrospinning-aided self-assembly of multifunctional GO-CNT@PCL core-shell nanocomposites with spider leg bioinspired hierarchical architectures
2022
We report a fast route enabling the multiscale design of nanohybrid structures comprising a 3D fibrous network of polycaprolactone (PCL) wrapped by graphene oxide (GO) sheets onto which carbon nanotube (CNT) brushes are anchored. The method relies on electrospinning PCL solutions onto a suspension of GO and CNTs in ethanol. Self-assembly is due to electrostatic wrapping of GO sheets around PCL fibers and 7C-7C stacking between GO and CNTs. Hierarchical architecture and nanopatterned surface allow gathering the starting properties of PCL, GO and CNTs into lightweight (99% porosity) yet robust (1575% stiffness improvement), amphiphilic monoliths that can remove methylene blue and/or methyl or…
An innovative route to prepare in situ graded crosslinked PVA graphene electrospun mats for drug release
2022
We present a fast, one step method to obtain PVA/graphene/chlorhexidine nanofibrous membranes, with a crosslinking gradient along their cross-section. Briefly, polymeric solutions were electrospun onto a heated plate, enabling the in situ crosslinking of PVA macromolecules. Of course, the crosslinking degree of such structures was found to decrease upon the distance from the plate during deposition. The outcomes reveal the crucial role of graphene, capable of promoting heat transfer throughout the entire structure, thus leading to 70-80% crosslinking degrees and preventing delamination issues. Such membranes were compared to untreated and oven thermally treated ones, and a robust relationsh…
