Objectives:

• to develop innovative 'in-situ' and 'ex-situ' techniques, as well as effective combinations of them, in order to assemble an innovative tool dedicated to monitoring and controlling the evolution of the nano-material properties and to considerably expand the understanding of confinement phenomena in nano-pores.
• to advance the nano-manipulation of porous materials from the current state of-the-art, i.e. tailoring, to that of ab ovo design, preparation and optimisation of the materials structure and their clean technology applications.
