Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study Luigi Costa is best known for:

Polymer
Cancer
Thermal oxidation

There are a combination of areas like Metal and Salt (chemistry) integrated together with his Oxide study. Many of his studies on Metal apply to Organic chemistry as well. Organic chemistry is closely attributed to Pentaerythritol in his research. Pentaerythritol and Intumescent are closely tied to his Fire retardant research. Intumescent and Fire retardant are frequently intertwined in his study. His Pathology study frequently intersects with other fields, such as Tongue and Carcinoma. His Tongue study frequently draws connections between related disciplines such as Pathology. He regularly ties together related areas like Internal medicine in his Carcinoma studies. He combines topics linked to Radiation therapy with his work on Internal medicine.

His most cited work include:

Thermal degradation behaviour of PE/clay nanocomposites (175 citations)
Preparation and combustion behaviour of polymer/layered silicate nanocomposites based upon PE and EVA (153 citations)
UHMWPE for arthroplasty: past or future? (150 citations)

What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date

His research on Composite material often connects related topics like Polyethylene. Polyethylene and Ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene are two areas of study in which he engages in interdisciplinary work. While working on this project, he studies both Organic chemistry and Catalysis. Luigi Costa combines Catalysis and Organic chemistry in his studies. Chemical engineering connects with themes related to Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy in his study. His Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy study frequently links to adjacent areas such as Chemical engineering. Polymer chemistry and Polymer are two areas of study in which he engages in interdisciplinary work. Luigi Costa performs integrative Polymer and Composite material research in his work. His work on Telecommunications expands to the thematically related Degradation (telecommunications).
