LA SCIENZA DEI MATERIALI

Abstract

Materials Science represents the natural convergence of hard scientific disciplines such as Physics Mathematics and Chemistry whom synergic contribution to its definition and evolution is at the basis of huge technologic development observed during the last few decades. The wide variety of materials under investigation by this discipline is both strategic for the economy of a Nation as well as a fundamental aspect of everyday life. Among the most relevant ones so far proposed, many advanced materials are organic-based or, in other words, constituted by molecules or organic polymers, not only for their application potential, low costs and preparation flexibility but also for their processability and limited environmental impact.
