Abstract
One of the main objectives of modern astrophysics is the characterisation of properties and evolution of materials present in space. Production, processing and analysis of cosmic dust analogues in the laboratory represents a powerful tool to interpret astronomical observations and to contribute to the solution of puzzling problems which are so far unsolved. In the present paper we summarize recent results obtained in our laboratory on carbon-based and silicate materials able to simulate various types of cosmic grains. The laboratory data are applied to discuss the nature of spectral features observed in the interstellar medium and in comets.
