The Winter School offers a one-week full-time multidisciplinary program at the Chemistry and Industrial Chemistry Department (DCCI) of the University of Pisa. It is devoted to training students with a technical-scientific background on the advances of analysing materials of interest in environmental and green chemistry. Note that, even if the focus of this year are biopolymers, the knowledge acquired during the school may be applied to several other materials. The focus will be mainly on PhDs, but master\u2019s degrees and post-docs are also welcome.<\/p>\n

The student\u00a0will have access to cutting-edge instrumentation present at DCCI, most of\u00a0which is part of the\u00a0CISUP<\/a>,\u00a0the Center for Instrument Sharing of the University of Pisa. These will be:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Bruker Avance NEO 700 MHz NMR Spectrometer;<\/li>\n
  2. Bruker Avance NEO 500 Solid State NMR Spectrometer;<\/li>\n
  3. OMNISEC: Multi-detection Size Exclusion Chromatography<\/a>;<\/li>\n
  4. TGA e TGA-FTIR: Thermogravimetric Analyzer\/Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy<\/a>;<\/li>\n
  5. Analytical pyrolysis \u2013 gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (Py-GC\/MS) with micro UV-irradiator system<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    The\u00a0lessons will contain both a theoretical introduction (with a focus on\u00a0applications) and laboratory practice. The curriculum also contains\u00a0explanations on how to critically analyse the data.<\/p>\n

    This program will provide the interested student with detailed information\u00a0on the advanced instrumentation encountered and an overview of the\u00a0potentialities of different approaches to characterise a material. The new\u00a0skills will be precious for the educational background of the student, who\u00a0will primarily be a Chemistry student but may also be of Chemical\u00a0Engineering and other technical-scientific areas.<\/p>\n

    The Winter School will be activated with at least 7 students. The maximum number of participants is set to 28 students.<\/p>\n

    The Winter School will be held on campus in Pisa, at\u00a0Dipartimemto di Chimica e Chimica Industriale, Via G. Moruzzi,13<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
