RESEARCH THEMES
The Network research is focused on five fundamental themes related to the synthesis of micro/nanostructured coatings with tailored properties.
Our work leads to new analytical methods for determining functional capabilities and developing Life Cycle Assessment – hence Green – methodologies.
