Federico Carosio

Federico Carosio is an Associate Professor at the Department of Applied Science and Technology (DISAT) of the Polytechnic University of Turin, affiliated with the College of Chemical and Materials Engineering. His work focuses on designing nanostructured functional coatings using polyelectrolytes and nanoparticles for industrial applications.

• Research Interests: Flame retardancy of polymers, sustainable structural materials, graphene nanoplatelets, layer-by-layer assembly, nanocellulose, and polymer nanocomposites.

Recent publications highlight his expertise in fire-safe materials, biobased coatings, and nanocomposite engineering. Key projects include GAIA (green cellulose-based insulating materials) and PANACEA (nanostructured cellulose recovery). He supervises PhD students working on layer-by-layer assembly and flame-retarded composites.

• Laboratories: Functional Coatings Laboratory, Chemical Synthesis Laboratory, Fire Testing Laboratory, and others within DISAT.

Carosio contributes to commercial patents on flame-retardant coatings for polymers, soft magnetic materials, and foam impregnation processes.
