Welcome to LAUS RESEARCH GROUP

Research in Laus Group at East Piemonte University and within the Consortium INSTM focuses on creating new polymeric materials and refining their properties with a fundamental understanding of their physical behavior. We work to apply these novel materials in areas ranging from lithography, to bioinspired systems and nanotechnology.

Our research expertise includes synthesis of designed polymers by controlled polymerization techniques, characterization, and practical application of polymers as functional and structural materials.
