RESEARCH
FIELDS
1. Enviornment-friendly
Flame Retarding Polymer Nanocomposites.
Low toxicity and low smoke halogen-free flame retardants have
attracted much attention. The intumescent flame retardant (IFR) is prove to be
an environmental friendly flame retardant. Developing thermally stable and
trifunctional (source of acid, carbon and sparkle) IFR systems is the trend of
IFR. The creative idea of our research are: (1) Setup the mechanism of novel
synergistic IFR containing nano-magnesium hydroxide (Mg(OH)2). (2)
Preparation of trifunctional IFR, such as melamine phosphate borate (MPB), glycerol
diphosphonate of melamine (GDM), pentaerythritol diphosphate of diethylamine
(PDD), melarnine salt of starch phosphate (SPM), macromolecular IFR modified
intercalation HTLcs, and so on. These IFRs exhibit excellent flame retading
performance and good compatibility with polymer. (3) IFR containing modified
solid waste are applied to the polymers (such as PVC, epoxy resin and rubber).
Realize the commercialization of these products.
2. Environmental
Functional Nanocomposites. Disinfection by-products (DBPs) are formed in
the chlorine disinfection process by humic acid. Photocatalytic oxidation is
prove to be a effective method for water treatment. The modification of
catalysts and their supports can improve the photocatalytic performance of
catalyst. The creative idea of our research are: (1) Removal of humic acid (HA)
in water by adsorption and photocatalytic oxidation methods. Realize the
controlling of the elemental composition and crystal form of TiO2/Si (Fe, I, Cu2O,SeO3, Zn, Ag)
nanocomposites. These nanocomposites exhibit wide light adsorption and strong
photoelectric effect. (2) Set up the adsorption (using hydrotalcite-like
compounds, HTLcs)- photocatalysis (using TiO2 nanocomposites)-UV/O3 oxidation combination technique for removal of HA and benzene series. The HTLcs
are prepared using solid waste as raw material, which comes from flue gas
desulfurization by magnesium oxide (MgO). Realize the commercialization of this
research findings. (3) Novel starch-based flocculant-inorganic flocculant
composites exhibit high performance and potential application in the field of
waste water treatment.
3. Photoelectric
Polymer Nanocomposites. Conductive
polymers and inorganic nanoparticles exhibit colour tenability and high quantum
efficiency, respectively. The more recent approaches of developing
organic-inorganic nanocomposites (NCs) optoelectronic devices combine the
advantages of both polymer and inorganic semiconductors. These devices have the
potential for light emitting diodes, photovoltaics and non-linear optics (NLO).
Poly(3-alkylthiophenes) (P3ATs) and Poly(3-alkoxythiophenes) (P3AOTs) are of
the most promising conducting polymers because of their interesting electronic
and optical properties, also because of their processability and chemical
stability. The creative idea of our research are: (1) Control of the
content, size and crystal form of CdS (ZnS)
in the P3ATs-CdS (ZnS) nanocomposites. The magnetic nano particles and magnetic
field also were introduced to control the spatial structure of polymer
nanocomposites. (2) Set up the charge-transfer mechanism for P3ATs-CdS (ZnS),
which is determined by the valence band offset and conduction band offset of
nanocomposites. (3) Synthesis of some novel thiophene-based alternating
donor–acceptor (D-A) conjugated polymers, realize the efficiency conjugated
sequence length (ECSL), solubility, processability, bandgap, NLO performance
and thermostability of P3AOT can be adjusted by their sidechains. (4)
Amphipathic polymer nanocomposites have been synthesized by reversible addition
fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization. Realize the controlling of semiconductor
content and size, photoluminescence (PL) and third-order NLO of the nanocomposites
by the RAFT polymerization.
