| Summary |
The project was related to advanced smart materials characterized by a self- tunable and adaptive activity to be applied as novel catalytic devices for the removal of NOx in car exhaust emissions containing oxygen (lean burn and diesel engines) and novel highly sensitive NOx sensors able to operate with oxygen concentrations up to 20%. The main objectives were to
