Materials and Technologies for Constructions and Cultural Heritage Group Lab

For more than 20 years, research activities on polymers, composites and other materials have been accomplished by the MaTech-CCult group, mainly focused on applications in Construction, Industry and Cultural Heritage Conservation. A peculiar feature of the activities and projects developed by the group, carried out in close collaboration with several Italian and International Universities, Research Centers and Companies, is their strong interdisciplinary approach and applicative character.
