Smart piezoresistive tunnelling composite for flexible robotic sensing skin
Stefano Stassi,Stefano Stassi,Giancarlo Canavese,Fernando Cosiansi,Rossana Gazia,Carmelo Fallauto,Simone Corbellini,Marco Pirola,Matteo Cocuzza +8 more
TL;DR: In this article, a highly mechanically flexible tactile device based on a metal-elastomer composite material was prepared by an efficient and simple process, and an 8 × 8 pressure sensor matrix with dedicated electronics was fabricated and tested.
Book ChapterDOI
Zinc Oxide Nanostructures in Biomedicine
Luisa Racca,Marta Canta,Bianca Dumontel,Andrea Ancona,Tania Limongi,Nadia Garino,Nadia Garino,Marco Laurenti,Marco Laurenti,Giancarlo Canavese,Giancarlo Canavese,Valentina Alice Cauda,Valentina Alice Cauda +12 more
TL;DR: An evaluation on the mechanisms underlying the intrinsic cytotoxicity of ZnO nanomaterials is presented taking chance of these features for the engineerization of efficient therapeutics against cancer, of antibacterial agents, and for tissue engineering solutions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evaluation of different conductive nanostructured particles as filler in smart piezoresistive composites
Stefano Stassi,Stefano Stassi,Giancarlo Canavese,Valentina Alice Cauda,Simone Luigi Marasso,Candido Pirri,Candido Pirri +6 more
TL;DR: This work presents a comparison between three piezoresistive composite materials based on nanostructured conductive fillers in a polydimethylsiloxane insulating elastomeric matrix for sensing applications: commercial nickel and copper spiky-particles and synthesized highly-pointed gold nanostars.
Journal ArticleDOI
A porous nanobranched structure: an effective way to improve piezoelectricity in sputtered ZnO thin films
Marco Laurenti,Giancarlo Canavese,Stefano Stassi,Marco Fontana,Micaela Castellino,Candido Pirri,Candido Pirri,Valentina Alice Cauda +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, an effective strategy to improve the piezoelectric behavior of sputtered ZnO thin films is proposed by introducing a nanobranched porous thin film structure composed by a network of randomly-oriented wurtzite crystallites.
Journal ArticleDOI
Different scale confinements of PVDF-TrFE as functional material of piezoelectric sensor devices
Giancarlo Canavese,Stefano Stassi,Valentina Alice Cauda,Alessio Verna,Paolo Motto,Angelica Chiodoni,Simone Luigi Marasso,Danilo Demarchi +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of micro-and nano-structuration on the piezoelectric properties of polymeric samples was investigated and three polymeric structures were used as potential flexible tactile sensors and bendable energy harvesters.
