She has a special interest in:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Self-assembling amphiphilic polymers<\/strong>: Designing block, random, and graft architectures via RAFT\/ATRP to create single-chain \u201cunimer\u201d micelles or nanostructured films. These materials show promise for drug encapsulation and biomedical applications, catalysis and environmental applications, owing to their temperature-responsive or stimuli-responsive behavior.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Eco-friendly antifouling coatings<\/strong>: Developing and testing low-surface-energy polymers (fluorinated, polysiloxane, zwitterionic, etc.) to combat marine biofouling. Through careful polymer design, she seeks coatings that reduce both biological adhesion and environmental impact.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Ion-exchange membranes for green hydrogen production and energy storage systems<\/strong>: Functionalizing commercial polymers (e.g., through radical grafting) to create highly conductive, chemically stable proton or anion-exchange membranes. These membranes are vital for emerging clean-energy technology such as efficient alkaline water electrolysis and redox flow batteries.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Transparent wood composites<\/strong>: Bleaching lignin in mild conditions and combining natural wood with transparent polymer matrices, wood-based composites that are light, strong, thermally insulating, and optically transparent can be produced. This strategy also valorizes sawmill waste and may lead to novel, low-impact materials with advanced performance for energy-efficient buildings.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Through these lines of inquiry, Dr. Guazzelli aims to expand the role of polymer science in addressing challenges in sustainability, energy, and environmental protection.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dr. Guazzelli\u2019s research centers on advanced polymeric materials, from fundamental chemistry to real-world application.
