About
Maurizio Selva is a leading figure in sustainable chemistry, with a research focus on green synthesis, biomass valorization, and the design of eco-friendly materials. His work bridges fundamental catalysis and applied materials science, particularly through the development of renewable polymers and nanocomposites for advanced technologies. A standout contribution is his 2025 study on "Enhanced Piezoelectricity in Sustainable-By-Design Chitosan Nanocomposite Soft Thin Films for Green Sensors," which has already garnered 12 citations. This work dramatically improves the piezoelectric response of chitosan—a biodegradable biopolymer derived from crustacean shells—by integrating chitin and surface-deacetylated chitin nanofillers. The result is a high-performance, fully renewable thin film capable of converting mechanical stress into electrical signals, offering a sustainable alternative for next-generation sensors and energy harvesters. Selva’s research exemplifies how green chemistry principles can drive innovation in functional materials, reducing reliance on toxic or non-renewable components. His achievements underscore a commitment to circular economy design, making him a pivotal voice in the transition toward environmentally benign technologies.
