About

Maurizio Toselli is a leading figure in the field of smart materials, with a primary focus on shape memory polymers (SMPs) and advanced polymer networks. His research centers on developing semi-crystalline crosslinked systems—particularly those based on poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL) and poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG)—that exhibit a reversible, two-way shape memory effect without requiring an external mechanical load. Toselli’s major contributions include pioneering the stress-free two-way shape memory effect in semicrystalline networks, as demonstrated in his highly cited 2022 work (42 citations), and advancing the field through a one-dimensional phenomenological model (2018, 35 citations) that provides a theoretical framework for these materials. His work on 4D printing of crosslinked polymer networks (2024, 23 citations) represents a significant leap, enabling the fabrication of tailored structures with reversible actuation. More recently, Toselli has explored light-responsive actuators in non-woven fabrics (2024) and sol–gel crosslinked systems (2024), expanding the potential applications in soft robotics. With over 100 citations across his most notable papers, Toselli’s research is driving innovation in stimuli-responsive materials, offering new possibilities for adaptive devices and smart manufacturing.
