About

Pierluigi Civera is a leading figure in the development of advanced polymeric nanomaterials for energy harvesting and sensing applications. His research focuses on the synthesis and characterization of ferroelectric nanostructures, particularly through innovative hard-templating methods. Civera’s most cited work, "Distributed Array of Polymeric Piezo-nanowires through Hard-Templating Method into Porous Alumina" (2011, 5 citations), introduced a groundbreaking approach for fabricating arrays of poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) and its copolymer P(VDF-TrFE) nanowires using porous anodic alumina membranes. This contribution demonstrated a scalable and reproducible strategy for creating piezoelectric nanowires with enhanced electromechanical properties, paving the way for flexible, high-performance nanogenerators and sensors. His work has been instrumental in bridging the gap between polymer science and nanotechnology, offering a robust platform for next-generation wearable electronics and self-powered devices. Civera’s achievements highlight his expertise in nanofabrication and his ability to translate fundamental materials science into practical, impactful technologies, making him a key contributor to the field of functional nanomaterials.
