Giulio MALUCELLI
(Politecnico di Torino)
Giulio Malucelli got his Master degree in Chemical Engineering at Politecnico di Torino in 1992. In 1996 he obtained the PhD degree in Chemistry. In 1995 he gained the position of Assistant Professor at Politecnico di Torino at the Department of Applied Science and Technology. From 2003 he is Associate Professor in Materials Science and Technology at the Department of Applied Science and Technology of Politecnico di Torino.
He co-authored of more than 175 peer-reviewed papers (2886 total citations by 1814 documents; h-Index: 31), 8 book chapters and several Communications to National and International Congresses.
His main research interest include the synthesis of new reactive oligomers and their photopolymerization, the modification of polymers with polar or fluorinated structures, their physico-chemical and thermo-mechanical characterization and the investigation of the structure-property relationships. At present he is involved in the synthesis and characterization of nanocomposite structures, namely hybrid organic-inorganic coatings (ceramers) and polymeric nanocomposites containing phyllosilicates, alumina, graphene and graphene-like fillers. He is also investigating the fire retardancy of plastic substrates and textiles, achieved by means of surface modifications based on the formation of sol-gel derived oxidic phases or layer-by-layer assemblies.
