Giordano Pierozan Bernardes

Giordano Pierozan Bernardes is a Researcher and Principal Investigator at the Department of Mechatronic Engineering at Athlone Institute of Technology (ATU Sligo), Ireland. He leads research activities within the Precision Engineering Materials and Manufacturing Research Centre (PEM Research Centre). His work focuses on advanced materials science, particularly polymer blends and composites, with a strong emphasis on thermal stability, mechanical properties, and interfacial interactions.

Research interests include the development of biodegradable materials, thermal degradation kinetics of polymers, and rheological characterizations. His recent studies investigate pineapple crown fibres' thermal behavior and poly(lactic acid) (PLA) blends with elastomers. Bernardes has contributed to understanding structure-property relationships in impact-modified polypropylene copolymers and viscoelastic properties of PLA/thermoplastic polyurethane (TPE) systems.

His publications span topics like thermal stability analysis, decomposition kinetics, and interfacial properties of polymer blends. Collaborations extend across multiple countries, reflecting his global research network.
