In the
field of conducting polymers are studied the
electrochemical properties of modified electrodes,it is analyzed the possibility
of change of the
monomeric units of the polymer and
are investigated new
monomers which NLOcharacteristics. In the field of ceramic composites and
matrix materials are
prepared by sol-gel sensors containing different
analyte-receptor systems. Such
materials are also studied as matrices for the
construction of bio-sensors through the use of
specific enzymes
and mediators. In the nanomaterials field are
prepared metal nanoparticles modified
electrodes via self-assembled or by electrodeposition route. In the field of cosmetics are studied
the optimal conditions of use of neutral

preparation of tinctures not permanent
hair; mixtures of different dyes are investigated and
the effect of additives
on the degree and
duration of the coloring are even measured. In the energy storage field are studied nanocomposites devices based on PANI magnetite nanoparticles and gold nanoparticles supported on graphite or cellulose.
