Annalisa Chiappone

About

Dr. Annalisa Chiappone is a leading figure in the development of advanced functional hydrogels for next-generation biomedical and wearable technologies. Her research centers on the intersection of additive manufacturing, self-healing materials, and ionic conductive polymers. Dr. Chiappone’s most significant contribution is pioneering the 3D printing of self-healing hydrogels via Digital Light Processing (DLP), a breakthrough that overcomes the limitations of traditional extrusion-based methods and opens new avenues for creating complex, autonomous tissue-mimetic structures. This seminal work, published in 2021, has garnered over 318 citations, underscoring its profound impact on the field. She has further advanced the domain by developing ultrastretchable, self-healing ionic conductive hydrogels for self-powered tactile sensing systems, achieving 88 citations for her 2023 publication. Her innovative use of fully cellulose-based hydrogels for DLP printing and the creation of ultrasensitive, multifunctional wearable sensors demonstrates a commitment to sustainable, high-performance materials. Dr. Chiappone’s work is pivotal in bridging the gap between soft robotics, e-skin, and practical, durable wearable electronics.
