IMEM - Innovation in Materials and Molecular Engineering

The IMEM group of the Department of Chemical Engineering carries out research on macromolecular chemistry and nanoengineering through the study and exploitation of soft and hard materials. The results of our research are reflected in exceptional applications of these materials in the biomedical (e.g. sensors, drug delivery systems, and bioplatforms for tissue engineering) and technological (e.g. semisolid electrolytes, organic capacitors, bioceramics as catalysts, and protection of metallic structures against corrosion) fields, with remarkable social impact on human health and wellness.
