About
Giuseppe Leone is a leading researcher in sustainable polymer chemistry, with a focus on the design and catalytic synthesis of advanced elastomeric materials from renewable feedstocks. His major contributions center on the copolymerization of bio-derived monomers like β-myrcene with (di)olefins, addressing critical challenges in comonomer discrimination and catalyst selectivity. Notably, his 2025 study on β-myrcene copolymerization—already garnering 2 citations—reveals mechanisms of ethylene inhibition and the role of spectator monomers, paving the way for soft, high-performance elastomers suitable for robotics and biomedical devices. By leveraging abundant, inexpensive, and non-toxic catalysts, Leone’s work directly advances sustainable catalysis and green materials science. His research has broad implications for reducing reliance on petroleum-based polymers, and his innovative approach to monomer design and polymerization kinetics has been recognized as a key step toward commercially viable bio-elastomers. With a growing citation footprint, Giuseppe Leone is establishing himself as a pivotal figure in the transition to a circular, bio-based polymer economy.
