Conoscenze e abilità da conseguire
Learning Objectives: At the end of the course the student will be aware of the need of finding alternative chemical products to problematic existing ones and of the use of principles of Green Chemistry for designing and discovering them. He will know how to use computational approaches for designing new alternative chemicals and forecasting their properties. He/she will be aware of the different formulations of chemical substances. The student is expected to be able to: 1. Design new environmentally friendly chemical products applying the principles of green chemistry; 2. Use the principles of structure-properties relationship for designing new products and forecasting their properties; 3. Design formulations for a specific purpose.
Contenuti
The CU will be made of three modules with the following contents:
(1) Alternative Green Products
This module will introduce students to the following concepts: the principles and general tools of Green Chemistry,
show why the substitution of existing chemical products can be desirable from the point of view of sustainable chemistry. Likewise, the module shows successful examples of new alternative green products and illustrate which features are required or desirable for a green chemical product
(2) Structure Toxicity Relationship
After completing this module, the student:
- knows how to represent 2D and 3D molecular structures.
- uses of screening methods
- know the concept of pharmacophore and how to use it in drug-design and toxicological assessment.
- is able to apply the QSAR and QSPR methods to simple problems, and to the design of new molecules with desired physicochemical properties.
(3) Design of Chemical Formulations
This module will show students how to correlate the product structure with the product behavior in application, Illustrate the preparation of formulated products by incorporating ingredients that modify the structure and properties of the product, and show the current available procedures to modify the structure of the products
Testi/Bibliografia
Lecture notes will be available for students.

Metodi didattici
Each module is organized in theoretical classes where main concepts are explained, as well as tutorial classes with discussion of case-study examples.
Modalità di verifica e valutazione dell'apprendimento
The modules are assessed through individual report and presentation on a topic related (module 1). Through a presentation related to the module content (50%) and a written test (50%, module 2) and through a homework assignments (20%) and a written assignment (80%, module 3). The Curricular Unit grade will be the arithmetic mean of grades from the three modules.
