About
Antonella Sola is a leading researcher at the intersection of advanced manufacturing and biomedical materials, with key contributions spanning conductive additive manufacturing and bioactive coatings. Her work critically addresses the growing demand for functional materials in Industry 4.0, particularly through her highly cited 2022 review on conductive materials for fused filament fabrication (54 citations), which systematically identifies the gap between traditional metal-based electronics and emerging polymer-based conductive composites for 3D printing. In the biomedical domain, Sola has pioneered the development of functionally graded bioactive glass/hydroxyapatite coatings via suspension plasma spraying (2013, 50 citations), optimizing the mechanical and biological performance of implant surfaces. Her research demonstrates a rare ability to bridge fundamental materials science with practical engineering challenges, from robotic design to orthopedic implants. With over 50 citations on her most influential works, Sola’s impact is evident in both the additive manufacturing and biomaterials communities, where her systematic reviews and experimental innovations continue to guide next-generation material design for electronic and medical applications.
