Prof. paolo Pelagatti was born in Parma, 30-09-1968. In 1993 he got a Master degree in Chemistry (University of Parma, then in 1998 a Research Doctorate (PhD) in Chemical Science (UNiversity of Parma). In 1998 he became Post-Doc at Istituto Nazionale per la Fisica della Materia (I.N.F.M., Research Unit of Unversity of Parma). In 1999 he became University Researcher (University of Parma, General and Inorganic Chemistry) and Associate Professor in the same University in 2014.
Prof. Pelagatti has published about 115 papers on international peer reviewed journals and attended several national and international congresses, and filed patents.
His research activity is mainly devoted to:
- preparation of porous materials (MOFs) deriving from the combination of metal ions and polytopic organic linkers able to reversibly adsorb molecular species of environmental interest (CO2) or agrochemical/nutraceutocal interest (natural essential oils). The development of sustainable mechanochemical approaches for the synthesis of MOFs is of particular interest
- study of inclusion processes of organic and organometallic species in MOFs
- mechanochemical synthesis of solid adsorbents for the capture of critical elements form unconventional sources
- lignin as excellent biopolymer for the development of sustainable antimicrobial materials
The research is conducted in collaboration with academic and industrial partners
