Molecular doping (MD) is a doping method based on the use of liquid solutions. The dopant precursor is in liquid form and the material to be doped is immersed in the solution. During the immersion process, the molecule containing the dopant atom is deposited on the surface of the material forming a self-assembled monolayer, that is, ordered and compact. Through a subsequent heat treatment, the molecule decomposes and the dopant diffuses.

This invention comprises an interrogation and readout differential method for chemical sensors based on Surface Plasmon Resonances (SPR). The integration of the SPR sensing unit (chip or other), as intermediate reflecting element of a Fabry-Perot (FP) optical resonator, is the starting point for the application of this method.

It enables a systemic and evolutionary development of people, organisations and territories by overcoming the criticality of traditional approaches, which get stuck because of rationalistic reductions in complexity, as well as lack of motivation. This responds to the social sustainability needs highlighted by the UN 2030 agenda. The methodology is based on 3 pillars:

Flow technologies for the synthesis of chemical intermediates have great potential at the industrial level and the synthesis of nanoparticles (NPs) can speed up the development of new products. In this context, we could find the technology for the synthesis of NPs. The NPs (Au, Ag, or Pt) are synthesized in a single step and are functionalized with polymeric stabilizers (such as PVP, PVA, PEG, or others) or with thio-glycosidic fragments.

Celiac disease and non-celiac gluten sensitivity affect a large portion of the world population. Furthermore, the percentage of people who adopt the gluten free diet is constantly increasing because it is perceived to be healthier. We have previously developed a food grade enzymatic procedure (transamidation) for wheat flour capable of making gluten unable to induce the inflammatory response in the intestine of celiac disease patients.
