Tomorrow's Green Chemistry Today

Research and Markets has announced the addition of “Tomorrow's Chemistry Today: Concepts in Nanoscience, Organic Materials and Environmental Chemistry” to their offering.

Providing a glimpse into the future, the young scientists contributing here were considered to be the most important for tomorrow's chemistry and materials science. They present the state of the art in their particular fields of research, with topics ranging from new synthetic pathways and nanotechnology to green chemistry.

Of major interest to organic chemists, materials scientists and biochemists.

Bruno Pignataro became associated professor of Physical Chemistry at Palermo University in 2003. He has authored about 50 scientific publications in international journals and presented about 70 conference communications. His scientific interest is mainly on nanoscience and nanotechnology. He is referee of several leading Chemistry/Materials Scientific Journals and member of different Scientific Societies. He is Elected Coordinator of the Italian Young Chemists of SCI, and chairs the 1st European Young Chemist Award Competition.
