Fabio Bignotti

Fabio Bignotti is associate professor in Materials Science and Engineering at the University of Brescia. Initially his research interests were concerned mainly with the preparation, physico-chemical and thermal characterisation of tailor-made polymers for biomedical applications. Then his researches extended to the investigation of the mechanical properties of polymer-based materials.

The research activities of prof. Bignotti can be grouped in three main areas:

1) investigation of the thermal and mechanical properties of polymers and polymer-matrix nanocomposites, with a special emphasis on the determination of structure-property relationships;

2) development of novel stimuli-responsive polymer-based materials;

3) preparation and thermal characterisation of new biodegradable and biocompatible polymers

Prof. Bignotti is author of more than 50 peer-reviewed articles on international journals, of numerous conference contributions, and of several national and international patents.
