About

Matteo Rapisarda is a leading researcher in the field of flexible organic electronics, with a focus on developing next-generation sensors for robotics and light detection. His work centers on the design and fabrication of fully-organic, flexible devices that combine high performance with mechanical robustness. In a pioneering 2014 study (8 citations), Rapisarda demonstrated a fully-organic flexible tactile sensor for advanced robotic applications, using a piezoelectric PVDF-TrFE capacitor on an ultra-thin polyimide film. This work laid the foundation for integrating organic sensors into soft robotics and wearable systems. More recently, his 2023 paper (6 citations) introduced flexible organic phototransistors with an exceptional limit of detection down to 28 pW/cm², showcasing the potential of organic semiconductors for ultra-sensitive light sensing. Rapisarda’s contributions are notable for pushing the boundaries of organic device performance while maintaining flexibility and low-cost fabrication, making his work highly relevant for applications in prosthetics, environmental monitoring, and biomedical devices. His research continues to inspire advances in the field of organic electronics.
