Corrado Sciancalepore graduated in Chemistry from the University of Bari and obtained his Ph.D. in High Mechanics and Automotive Design and Technology – Design of High-Performance Materials from the University of Modena and Reggio Emilia. Since 2019, he has been an RTD-A Researcher in Materials Science and Technology at the University of Parma.

His research mainly focuses on the study of polymer matrix composites, their synthesis and functional and structural characterization, with significant work on the study and characterization of polymeric, ceramic, and metallic materials for additive manufacturing technologies (FDM, SLA, and SLS).

In the field of composite materials, his research has focused on different methods for obtaining hybrid polymer matrix systems loaded with metal nanoparticles (Ag) and inorganic oxides (Fe3O4, TiO2) through in-situ and ex-situ preparative approaches. The presence of nanoparticles imparts functional properties not present in the original polymer material, providing antibacterial, magnetic, and optoelectronic characteristics for potential applications in technological sectors such as biomedical, automotive, sensors, and agro-food. Corrado Sciancalepore is the author of over 50 peer-reviewed articles and collaborates on several regional and national research projects.
