Our research is focused on innovative materials, in particular we are focused on:

1. Functionalization of carbonaceous materials for energy storage or catalyst support.

2. Surface perfluoroalkylation to obtain self cleaning and/or self lubricating surfaces:
• Polymers
• Glass
• DLC

3. Fluorinations with highly reactive compounds in standard reactors and inside innovative microreactors.

4. Selective etching of fused silica using femtosecond laser assisted micromachining.

5. Photo-induced degradation of pollutants using immobilized titania.
