Katia Martina

Katia Martina research activity is centered on innovative synthetic procedures carried out under non- conventional techniques (power ultrasound, microwaves and ball milling), in benign solvent or in solvent free condition, preparation of new solid supported organometallic catalyst and derivatizzazion of carbon based nanomaterial. Recently the search of new sustainable solvent free organic protocol by mechanochemical activation is object of her research. Part of her scientific interest is also focused on regio-or stereoselective derivatization of cyclodextrin for application in organocatalysis and drug delivery under non-conventional condition: the impact of mechanochemistry on oligosaccharides decoration has been also studied.
