RESEARCH

As a junior researcher at the ENI Group and during her post-doc  at the University of Torino, Roberta Bongiovanni (RB) worked in the field of colloidal dispersions, with a special interest towards clay-organic media systems.

Since she joined the Politecnico di Torino, her main scientific interests have been focussed on

a)      the synthesis of polymeric networks in the form of films via photoinduced processes and their characterization -fields of application are protective and functional coatings, membranes, materials for photolithographic and 3D printing processes

b)      the selective modification of the surface of polymers both by cophotopolymerization and photografting of monomers- fields of application are coatings and textiles

c)      the preparation of nanocomposites and hybrid materials via photoprocesses , including modification of both the inorganic fillers and the polymeric matrices - fields of application are functional and smart coatings, membranes

 

Roberta Bongiovanni  is coauthor of 161 papers on international journals, 8 book chapters, 2 PCT patents and 5 Italian patents.
