 e next generation of life quality - Andrea Zucchelli\, Assistant Professor

DESCRIPTION:Nanoscale: a challenge that gave to humankind a big dream. Aft
 er the famous talk of Prof. Feyman\nthe nanotechnologies have aroused in t
 he scientist scenario new ways to change and manipulate\nthe material prop
 erties and performances. Nanoscale is an intermediate scale that bridge th
 e\nmicroscale and the atomic scale. The nanoscale exhibited its effectiven
 ess in different research\nand industrial areas such as in the manufacturi
 ng of advanced electronic equipment or in the\ncatalysis of chemical proce
 sses. Among the technologies that are nowadays used to realize\nnanoscaled
  materials or that are able to manipulate the matter at the nanoscale the\
 nelectrospinning technology is one of the most promising and growing.\n\nI
 n the present talk some of the main features of electrospinning process wi
 ll be introduced as well\nas the main applications of polymeric electrospu
 n nanofibrous mats (where the nanofibers are\ncollected in a random way or
  following a dedicated architecture) are introduced. In particular\nsome a
 pplications of polymeric nanofibrous scaffolds for tissue engineering are 
 described. During\nthe talk some details about the electrospinning equipme
 nt design will be explained as well as a\nfuture challenge in the bionics 
 will be briefly introduced.
