XMatteR Laboratory | Prof. Luigi Gentile | University of Bari, Italy 

Luigi Gentile's group research focuses on the experimental flow dynamics of complex fluids, with particular emphasis on their behavior and structuring in advanced, application-driven contexts. The work spans a diverse range of bio-based and functional soft materials, including: Biopolymers; Bio- and bio-based surfactant formulations; Material fabrication; Nano- and microcarriers for delivery systems; Stimuli-responsive materials; Complex fluids for energy applications; Food colloids and structured food materials.  Techniques: Rheology, Scattering, Spectroscopy and thermal analysis
