Biography
Guido Viscardi is a Professor of organic chemistry at the Department of Chemistry ,University of Torino, Italy.
Research Interest
The activity focuses on the synthesis and characterization of functional materials for High Tech applications: organometallic or totally organic sensitizers for Dye-sensitized Solar Cells (DSC); fluorescent and bioconjugated probes for the study of interaction between biomolecules; color and fluorescent probes for the functionalization of oxidative nanomaterials (sensory and optical imaging) and for the study of the surface functionalisation of carbon nanotubes (drug delivery); cationic surfactants for gene delivery and templates for nanoporous materials; synthesis of intermediates and binders in aqueous phase by palladium-catalyzed reactions in micellar environment.
