About

Antonello Astarita is a leading figure in the field of advanced manufacturing, with a primary focus on cold spray deposition and surface engineering. His work has been instrumental in overcoming the long-standing challenge of depositing metallic coatings onto polymeric and composite substrates—a critical innovation for industries like aerospace and automotive, where lightweight materials must be paired with durable, conductive surfaces. His most-cited paper, “Cold Spray Deposition on Polymeric and Composite Substrates” (2020), has garnered 8 citations, reflecting its foundational role in this niche but rapidly growing area. Beyond this, Astarita has contributed extensively to the optimization of cold spray parameters, the development of hybrid manufacturing processes, and the characterization of coating-substrate interfaces. His research is characterized by a rigorous blend of experimental and theoretical approaches, often bridging the gap between materials science and mechanical engineering. Astarita’s work not only advances fundamental understanding but also offers practical solutions for industrial applications, making him a respected voice in the manufacturing community. His ongoing efforts continue to push the boundaries of what is possible with additive and coating technologies.
