Ph.D. Student in Electrical, Materials, Raw Materials and Nanotechnology Engineering - Sapienza University of Rome - Department of Chemical Engineering Materials Environment.
Development of natural fiber reinforced composite materials (NFRCs) with improved durability and fire resistance. The project aims to identify and develop eco-sustainable treatments effective on a broad spectrum of natural fibers (both plant and mineral origin), able to improve the overall performance of the biocomposite material.
