POLYMAT - POLYmeric MATerials
Mission
The primary research activity of PolyMat group concerns photoinduced polymerisation processes.
The goal is the developing of
- new functional polymeric materials (contact person: roberta.bongiovanni@polito.it; marco.sangermano@polito.it)
- polymers for direct photolithography, soft lithography and 3D printing (contact persons: roberta.bongiovanni@polito.it, marco.sangermano@polito.it);
- micro and nano fibers by photopolymerization and electrospinning processes (contact person: alessandra.vitale@polito.it)
- photopolymerization of monomers from bio-renewable resources (contact person: marco.sangermano@polito.it) and biobased polymeric composites (contact person: roberta.bongiovanni@polito.it )
- development of ecocompatible materials for building (contact person: simonetta.pagliolico@polito.it)
- surface modification of polymers by light induced reactions, e.g. coatings, textiles, cellulosic materials (contact person: alessandra.vitale@polito.it).
- photocurable hydrogels for tissue engineering (contact person: marco.sangermano@polito.it )
Main targets
- Synthesis and characterisation of photocured polymers containing graphene (POLYMAT, in partnership with DET and Graphene@PoliTo Laboratory)
- Photopolymerisation and elettrospinning for new fibers (POLYMAT)
- Photopolymerised water barrier coatings for the protection of building materials and cultural heritage materials and fluorinated photopolymers(POLYMAT).
- Photopolymers for 3D printing (POLYMAT)
