Francesco Colangelo is a Full Professor of Materials Science and Technology at the Parthenope University of Naples in Italy. His main research work covers the recycling of waste materials in concrete especially for?geo-environmental and civil engineering applications?and the application of life cycle assessment methodology in the preparation of innovative building materials. Raffaele Cioffi?has a degree in Chemical Engineering from the University of Naples Federico II. He is Professor of Materials Science and Technology and Materials Engineering at the University of Naples "Parthenope”, Naples, Italy. He has been the Head of the Department of Technology and the?director of the Research Quality Centre of the University of Naples "Parthenope". He has been the director of the Sustainable Development Engineering Laboratory of the Department of Technology, the president of the Teaching Board for?the?Industrial Engineering Course, and he is the coordinator of the Technical and Scientific Committee for the Master Course in Safety Engineering of the University of Naples " Parthenope". He is the vice-president of the Italian Association on Materials Engineering (AIMAT). Ilenia Farina?received a?master's degree in Civil Engineering?from the University of Naples "Parthenope” and a postgraduate certificate in Materials Science and Engineering from the University of Sheffield (UK); the title of her dissertation was "Plasma treatments of polymers for increased adhesion in composite materials”. In 2012, she graduated in Civil and Environmental Engineering at the University of Salerno, submitting a final project titled "Mechanical properties and manufacturing process of innovative sustainable cementitious materials”. Her research interests cover the development of innovative materials for sustainable construction. She has conducted?experiments?to demonstrate the?use?of plastic?fibers?obtained from waste plastic as dispersed reinforcement in cementitious materials. Furthermore, she has also developed new?fiber?geometries, with the aim of enhancing the thermo-mechanical performance of?fiber-?reinforced concrete and mortars. Her current research activity focuses on the development of new?fiber-reinforced materials using conventional raw materials as well as inorganic waste materials.
