معرفی
Alessandro Sorze is a Research Fellow at the Department of Industrial Engineering, University of Trento, Italy, where he conducts cutting-edge research on sustainable polymer materials and composites. His work bridges materials science with environmental applications, particularly in agricultural, forestry, and energy sectors.
His primary research focuses on:
- Development of biodegradable hydrogels from xanthan gum and natural fibers for soil conservation
- Mechanical recycling methodologies for polymer foams in thermal insulation
- Integration of phase change materials in structural composites for thermal energy management
- Green synthesis techniques for sustainable polymer systems
Sorze's publication record (2022-2024) reveals a strategic focus on solving environmental challenges through materials innovation. His work on xanthan gum/wood fiber hydrogels establishes novel approaches for topsoil protection in agriculture, while his foam recycling research directly addresses waste reduction in construction materials. The sandwich composite studies demonstrate sophisticated integration of thermal regulation with structural functionality - a critical advancement for weight-sensitive applications like aerospace. His research consistently emphasizes biodegradability, renewable resources, and circular economy principles across all projects.
He maintains strong collaborative ties within the Department of Industrial Engineering, particularly with Alessandro Pegoretti's research group, evidenced by consistent co-authorship on publications in high-impact journals including Carbohydrate Polymer Technologies and Applications, Polymer Testing, and Composites Part A. This collaboration network extends to international partners and industry stakeholders focused on sustainable materials development.
