Synthesis of Polyacetylene-like Modified Graphene Oxide Aerogel and Its Enhanced Electrical Properties
December 2, 2019
Enrico Greco, Jing Shang, Jiali Zhu, Tong Zhu ACS Omega 2019, 4, 25, 20948-20954 DOI: 10.1021/acsomega.9b02097 Abstract: A graphene-based or carbon-based aerogel is a three-dimensional (3D) solid material in which the carbon atoms are arranged in a sheet-like nanostructure. In this study, we report the synthesis of low-density polymer-modified aerogel monoliths by 3D macroassemblies of graphene […]

However, more direct evidence […]
A new method for the preparation of gelatin nanolayer: a possible approach to the in situ consolidation of damaged gelatin photographic emulsions
May 2, 2016
Maha Ahmed Ali*, Mona Fouad Ali, Enrico Ciliberto, Enrico Greco, Domenico Mello, Ezio Viscuso Applied Physics A volume 122:552 (2016) DOI: 10.1007/s00339-016-0054-3 Abstract: A major objective of all conservation treatments is to increase the physical and chemical stability of the objects being treated. Given that photographic gelatin emulsions are highly susceptible to different forms of damage such as flaking, cracking, and powdering, consolidation […]
A new preparation of doped photocatalytic TiO2 anatase nanoparticles: a preliminary study for the removal of pollutants in confined museum areas
