Antonella Salvini, nata a Firenze il 1/8/59. In data 10/4/87 ha conseguito il Diploma di Laurea in Chimica presso l’Università degli Studi di Firenze con la votazione di centodieci su centodieci e lode (110/110 e lode). Dottore di Ricerca in Scienze Chimiche. (IV ciclo, ottobre1988-31/10/9). In data 11 dicembre 1991 ha preso servizio presso il Dipartimento di Chimica Organica "Ugo Schiff".come ricercatore universitario della Facoltà di Scienze Matematiche, Fisiche e Naturali dell'Università di Firenze per il Gruppo Disciplinare C04X (Chimica Industriale). Professore Associato della Facoltà di Scienze Matematiche Fisiche e Naturali dell’Università di Firenze per il settore CHIM/04 Chimica Industriale, in servizio presso il Dipartimento di Chimica Organica. A partire dall’Anno Accademico 1991-92 ha svolto attività didattica presso la Facoltà di Scienze Matematiche, Fisiche e Naturali dell'Università di Firenze, in particolare per le materie dell’ambito di Chimica Industriale e per alcune nel settore della Chimica Organica. La sua ricerca scientifica è stata inizialmente focalizzata sulla catalisi omogenea. Parallelamente ha rivolto il suo interesse allo studio e alla sintesi di nuovi polimeri da utilizzare come adesivi del legno. Ha inoltre svolto studi sulla conservazione dei Beni Culturali e in particolare sulla sintesi di nuovi prodotti consolidanti e protettivi per i materiali lapidei e per il legno. Negli ultimi anni l’attività di ricerca è stata rivolta anche a studi su processi di bioraffineria e in particolare sulla valorizzazione di biomasse per la produzione di biofuel e composti chimici. In tale ambito, dal 2008 ha iniziato uno studio sulla produzione di biodiesel per transesterificazione di trigliceridi e la contemporanea trasformazione della glicerina in materiali con maggior valore aggiunto. Dal 2015 collabora all’interno del Centro di Competenza VALORE alla valorizzazione di biomasse algali mettendo a punto la separazione e la caratterizzazione di diversi componenti della microalga Nannochloropsis oceanica. Sembre nell’ambito della valorizzazione di biomasse ha svolto ricerche sulla sintesi di biopolimeri e nanocompositi a partire da fonti rinnovabili come le biomasse di scarto. Ha collaborato con numerose aziende in attività di trasferimento tecnologico prevalentemente su studi applicativi inerenti i materiali polimerici o loro formulazioni. E' coautrice di 73 pubblicazioni su Riviste Scientifiche Internazionali con Peer Review, 9 articoli su Riviste Scientifiche Internazionali o Nazionali o capitoli di libro, 1 Patent Internationale, 1 Patent Nazionale, > 100 comunicazioni a congressi nazionali e internazionali presentate personalmente o in qualità di coautrice.
