Theonis Riccò

Prof. Theonis Riccò is a Full Professor in Materials Science and Technology at the University of Brescia (Italy), leading the Materials Science and Technology Laboratory within the Department of Mechanical and Industrial Engineering. His research focuses on polymer mechanics, fracture mechanics, and structure-property relationships in engineering polymers for automotive/aerospace applications. Key areas include viscoelasticity, composite materials, and nanocomposites. He has supervised PhD students such as Matteo Guindani and Kamol Dey.

Research interests span experimental studies on polymer behavior under static/dynamic loads, fracture resistance measurement, and development of testing methodologies. He is affiliated with institutions like IOM (UK), ESIS (UK), and Italian associations AIMAT and AIM.

Publications in 2012 highlight advancements in shape memory polymers, nanocomposite reinforcement, and fracture mechanics principles. His work bridges fundamental material science with industrial applications, emphasizing both experimental and micromechanical modeling approaches.
