NanoLeaves Lab is a group of synthetic chemists settled at the Department of Chemistry and Industrial Chemistry of the University of Pisa. The research activity fits in the fields of Organic Chemistry and Materials Science. At NanoLeaves Lab, we develop new materials and explore their new and exciting applications in the fields of Chemistry, Technology, and Optoelectronics. We are interested in the preparation and functionalization of organic materials including biomaterials from natural sources, with an eye to nanocellulose and cellulose nanocrystals and to other biopolymers.
