We
study complex molecular systems on the nanoscale. Our research is both
fundamental and oriented towards technological applications, including
instrumentation development.
We prepare complex molecular architectures by Langmuir-Blodgett
and Self-Assembly
techniques, and we characterize
them by several structural and dynamical experimental methods. The applications
are focussed on: nanowriting on photosensitive
polymeric multilayers, molecular electronics,
depositition of ordered layers of biomolecules for biotechnological
and biomedical applications.
We
also study and validate non conventional lithographic
method, particularly appropriate for soft organic materials, and
develop innovative instrumentation for
the production of complex molecular architectures structured on the
nanoscale. On the fundamental side, we are interested in the dynamics
of nanostructured disordered systems, with particular reference to glasses
and the glass
transition in restricted dimensionality.
