The first Italian micro exposure tool for EUV lithography: design guidelines and experimental results

Flora F., Bollanti S., Di Lazzaro P., Mezi L., Murra D., Torre A., ENEA, IT

The first Italian Micro Exposure Tool (MET) for EUV lithography has been developed at the ENEA Research Laboratories in Frascati (Italy). In spite of the very low cost of the Schwarzschild optics, the specific design [...]

New nanostructured cellulose materials

Vismara E., Gastaldi G., Melone L., Cosentino C., Torri G., Politecnico di Milano, IT

Optimized synthesis of new cellulose-GMA materials via radical and physical chemical activation, their chemical composition determination and derivatization quantification. Structural solid state NMR and IR ATR characterizations. Derivative screenings for possible use in filtration of [...]

Photoactive and coloured anodic oxides on titanium for architectural and design applications

Diamanti M.V., Del Curto B., Ormellese M., Pedeferri MP., Politecnico di Milano, IT

Anodising processes can lead to the formation of oxides showing a wide range of interference colours with different hues and saturations depending on process parameters. The control of morphology, structure and homogeneity of the oxide [...]

Modeling of gain in advanced CMOS technologies

Spessot A., Gattel F., Fantini P., Marmiroli A., STMicroelectronics, IT

The impressive downscaling of CMOS technology and its more and more massive introduction in System-on-chip (SoC) oriented applications require comprehensive modeling approach able to describe such different world (digital and analog) starting from a single [...]

SPRi signal amplification by organothiols-nanopattern

Lisboa P., Valsesia A., Mannelli I., Colpo P., Rossi F., JRC-European Commission, IT

A 2D crystalline nanoarray of organothiols has been used for enhancing the detection sensitivity of Surface Plasmon Resonance-based biosensor. In particular, an IgG/AbIgG immunoreaction has been monitored by Surface Plasmon Resonance imaging on nano-patterned surfaces [...]

From Radar to Nodar

Falessi C., Fiorello A.M., Di Carlo A., Terranova M.L., SELEX Sistemi Integrati, IT

Photonics and Nanotechnologies are emerging revolutionary technologies that will provide a revolution in the sectors of sensors and radar systems. SELEX Sistemi Integrati intends to face this evolution as a leader by proactively supporting and [...]

High-density polyethylene reinforced with titania nanoparticles

Bondioli F., Dorigato A., Fabbri P., Ferrari A.M., Messori M., Pegoretti A., Università di Modena e Reggio Emilia, IT

Titania nanoparticles were prepared by both hydrolysis of tetraethoxy titanium, in order to obtain a spherical shape, and by hydrothermal crystallisation. Nanoparticles were also surface modified with alkylsilanes in order to improve the compatibility with [...]

Low molecular weight heparin-vectorized _-cyclodextrin nanostructures

Vismara E., Pizzolato D., Bertini S., Torri G., Valerio A., Politecnico, IT

We set up different synthetic approaches to afford new different nanostructures cyclodextrin – low molecular weigh heparin (LMWH) characterized by covalent bonds (amine or amide) between -cyclodextrin and LMWH in different positions of the heparin [...]

Effect of functionalization on the self-assembling propensity of beta sheet forming peptides

Taraballi F., Campione M., Vescovi A.L., Sassella A., Hwang W., Paleari A., Gelain F., University of Milan-Bicocca, IT

Synthetic polymers and bioinspired fibrous materials have a significant impact in medicine in the recent years. The design and fabrication of new bio-materials has a great influence in several scientific and medical communities. The potential [...]
