Francesco Baldi

Francesco Baldi is an Associate Professor in Materials Science and Technology at the Department of Mechanical and Industrial Engineering, Università degli Studi di Brescia. He is affiliated with STIIMA-CNR and technical committees such as ESIS's 'Polymers, Polymer Composites and Adhesives' and ISO's 'Fracture and Fatigue Behaviour' working group.

His research focuses on polymer mechanics, rheology, and processing, with applications in drug delivery systems, anaerobic digestion, and smart materials. He collaborates on projects involving bioenergy recovery from waste, shape memory polymers for biomedical uses, and advanced manufacturing techniques like FDM.

Key articles include studies on fracture characterization of polymers, anaerobic digestion optimization, and shape memory polymer-based drug delivery systems. His work bridges experimental methods with computational modeling, addressing challenges in material behavior under cyclic fatigue, biofilm dynamics, and polymer processing.

Francesco Baldi actively contributes to interdisciplinary research, integrating mechanical engineering, polymer science, and biomedical applications. His expertise spans from fundamental material testing to industrial-scale waste-to-energy solutions.
