Conoscenze e abilità da conseguire
Organic chemistry for nanotechnology represents the next generation of innovation beyond the current applications of organic chemistry. Preliminarily, basic principle of nanotechnology will be introduced and a quick overview of the metallic and soft nanoparticles’ synthetic methods will be presented to the student. Main objectives of the course are the understanding the role of the organic functional groups in the Self Assembled Monolayers (SAMs) of several metallic nanoparticles and the applications of soft organic nanoparticles from bio-renewable materials. At the end of the course the student will face the application of the organic chemistry for nanotechnologies to the Nanomedicine with some experimental laboratories. The use of the instruments DLS (Dynamic light scattering) will be also part of the skills (size determination of the nanoparticles and more information) that will be accomplished at the end of the course

Metodi didattici
Theoretic lessons will be combined with the analysis of modern and advanced literatures to apply the concepts explained.
Four laboratories will be dedicated to the synthesis and spectroscopic characterization of organic soft nanoparticles
Modalità di verifica e valutazione dell'apprendimento
The final examination will determine the level reached by the student in the objectives set out in the " Learning outcomes”
The assessment of the learning consists in oral presentation of the students on selected research topics learned during the course.
To carry out the oral exam registration is required through "Alma exams ", in respect of the mandatory deadlines.
The students will have to use the power point with a maximum of 15 slides according to materials deduced using 2-3 papers.
Mark will consider how the student will sketch out the "state of the art", 15 points, and how he/she will describe the results obtained in the selected papers, 15 points.
Attendance the laboratories and lab reports will give 6 points maximum.
The maximum score is therefore 36 out of 30, the honor (cum laude) is automatic after reaching 33 points.
