About

Francesca Aliberti is a rising researcher in the field of advanced polymer nanocomposites, with a focus on developing smart materials for sensing applications. Her work centers on the design and characterization of piezoresistive materials—substances that change their electrical resistance under mechanical strain—which are critical for next-generation strain sensors. In her most-cited work, she pioneered a method for fabricating three-dimensional printed nanocomposites with tunable piezoresistive response, demonstrating that adjusting printing conditions can tailor sensor performance. This study, which has garnered 9 citations since 2024, highlights her innovative approach to additive manufacturing. Aliberti has also conducted a comparative investigation into the thermal, mechanical, morphological, and piezoresistive properties of poly(ethylene-co-methacrylic acid) (EMAA) filled with carbon nanotubes and expanded graphite, providing key insights into how different nanofillers influence composite behavior. Her research, though early in her career, is already shaping the development of customizable, printed sensors. With a growing citation record and a focus on scalable, functional materials, Aliberti is establishing herself as a promising voice in the intersection of materials science and 3D printing technology.
