About
Fabio Della Sala is a leading figure in the field of organic optoelectronics and nanophotonics, with a particular focus on the interplay between mechanical forces and light emission. His research centers on the development of novel materials and devices that exploit electromechanical coupling, most notably through his pioneering work on electrostatic mechanophores. In his highly cited 2017 study, Della Sala demonstrated how piezoelectric polymer chains can be used to reversibly tune the emission of organic molecules in highly bendable nanowire arrays. By doping poly(vinylidenefluoride) copolymer nanowires with counter-ion dyes, he achieved a reversible redshift in luminescence under mechanical stress, a breakthrough that has garnered 12 citations and laid the groundwork for advanced sensors and adaptive lighting systems. His contributions bridge fundamental polymer physics and applied device engineering, offering a new paradigm for responsive, light-emitting materials. Della Sala’s work is recognized for its elegance and potential impact, making him a key voice in the development of smart, mechanically tunable photonic systems for next-generation flexible electronics.
