About
Domenico De Fazio is a leading researcher at the intersection of sustainable materials and green sensor technology, with a primary focus on piezoelectric biopolymers and nanocomposites. His most notable contribution is the development of enhanced piezoelectricity in chitosan-based soft thin films, as demonstrated in his highly cited 2025 work, which achieved a remarkable 12 citations. By integrating chitin and surface-deacetylated chitin nanofillers into chitosan, De Fazio pioneered a "sustainable-by-design" approach that significantly amplifies the material's electromechanical response without compromising biodegradability. This breakthrough addresses a critical challenge in green electronics: creating high-performance, eco-friendly sensors that can replace toxic or non-degradable piezoelectric materials. His work has direct implications for wearable health monitors, biodegradable pressure sensors, and energy-harvesting devices. De Fazio’s research not only advances fundamental understanding of biopolymer piezoelectricity but also provides a practical pathway toward truly sustainable smart materials, positioning him as a key innovator in the field of environmentally conscious nanotechnology.
