Fundamental and applied research on nanotechnologies is entrusted to the PackLAB, a specialized laboratory belonging to the Department DeFENS (Department of FOOD ENVIRONMENTAL AND NUTRITIONAL SCIENCE) in the University of Milan.
Partnerships with the manufacturing sector involve companies in the paper, textiles, food and agri-food packaging industries.
The aim of these partnerships is to verify the use of nanoparticles, right from the applied research phase and through to industrial production, concentrating on technological, performance-related and economic aspects of their use.
These companies are the end users of nanoparticles.
Partnerships with the systems industry focuses on developing special tools and systems for the production and functionalisation of nanoparticles.
