About
Michele Back is a leading researcher in sustainable materials science, with a focus on piezoelectric biopolymers and green sensor technologies. Their most notable contribution is the development of enhanced piezoelectricity in chitosan nanocomposite soft thin films, as demonstrated in their highly cited 2025 paper, which has already garnered 12 citations. By integrating chitin and surface-deacetylated chitin nanofillers into chitosan—a biodegradable biopolymer—Back achieved a significant boost in the material’s ability to generate electric charge under mechanical stress. This work advances the design of sustainable-by-design, eco-friendly sensors for applications in wearable electronics and environmental monitoring. Back’s research bridges the gap between natural biopolymers and high-performance functional materials, offering a path toward reducing electronic waste. Their innovative approach to optimizing piezoelectric response in biodegradable systems has positioned them as a rising voice in green nanotechnology, with implications for next-generation, self-powered devices that are both efficient and environmentally benign.
