Research themes/centers of interest

My research activities focus on the study of polymers in solution, in particular colloidal suspensions and hydrogels, in order to establish strong relationships between their structures at different scales and their rheological properties.

Non-exhaustive list of ongoing works:

  • Chitosan-based hydrogels by thiol-ene: influence of crosslinking strategy on rheological properties
  • Greener thickener in cosmetic formulation: synthesis, properties and applications for topical uses
  • Synthesis and characterization Model and Robust greener microgels
  • Binary mixture of hard and soft colloids with tunable interactions
