Scholar-generated biography
Mihaiela C. Stuparu is a researcher at Nanyang Technological University, Singapore, focusing on the synthesis and application of advanced polymeric materials. Her work explores the development of multifunctional polymers through click chemistry, particularly thiol-epoxy and esterification reactions, enabling post-polymerization modification. She investigates the design of polymer hosts for fullerenes and the synthesis of corannulene-based nanographenes for functional materials. Her research also includes the creation of core-shell polymer nanoparticles with high fullerene loading and the exploration of phase separation in dynamic block copolymers. Stuparu's studies aim to enhance the optical, electrochemical, and structural properties of carbon-based materials for energy storage and biomedical applications.
