SCHNELL Carla

About

Scientist specialized in sustainable materials, bio-based composites, and surface engineering of fibres. My research focuses on the development of multifunctional interfaces and coatings using bio-inspired and bio-based compounds, such as polydopamine and supramolecular structures, to improve mechanical performance, adhesion, thermal stability, durability, and recyclability. My work combines material chemistry, fibre functionalization, and processing technologies for applications in lightweight composites and circular materials. I am involved in national and European collaborative projects addressing bio-based materials, recycling strategies, and advanced interphase engineering for next-generation composites.
