DESCRIPTION:Prof. Davide Comoretto\nDipartimento di Chimica e Chimica Indu
 striale\, Università di Genova\, IT\nYear by year\, the importance of org
 anic and hybrid nanostructures in photonics is increasing. Polymers repres
 ent an interesting alternative to more traditional metal oxides\, being ea
 sily processable and allowing for light\, free-standing and flexible struc
 tures. In sensing\, they could allow for label-free sensors for food degra
 dation\, precious to reduce environmental impactful food waste. In the the
 rmal shielding field\, they would allow for thin\, transparent films able 
 to reduce heating by sunlight and to improve the sustainability of buildin
 gs and to keep the quality of foods/beverages. Moreover\, in fluorescence 
 control and lasing\, they are fundamental towards all-organic photonics an
 d polymer quantum electrodynamics providing fundamental hints to quantum t
 echnologies. Finally\, hybrid materials are of great interest in these reg
 ards as they combine the processability of polymers with the superior refr
 active index properties of inorganics.
