معرفی
Roberto Scaffaro is Full Professor of Materials Science and Technology at the University of Palermo's Department of Chemical Engineering. His research focuses on polymer blends, nanocomposites, biodegradable materials, and recycling technologies. He received the ENI Award (1993) for thesis research and spent 2006 as a visiting scholar at UCLA. With over 90 journal publications and leadership in national/international projects, his work bridges materials science and sustainability.
Research explores polymer compatibilization strategies and nanofiller reinforcement mechanisms. Recent work emphasizes biomass waste valorization in composites and photocatalytic materials for environmental remediation.
Publications demonstrate consistent focus on multifunctional materials development, with recent advances in 3D-printed biocomposites and electrospun membranes for environmental applications. Award recognition includes international fellowships and patents in materials processing.
