研究领域

I. Sustainable Biomass Chemistry and Biomaterials Renewable Chemicals and Materials. Research in my laboratory has addressed a pressing global problem on sustainability. We have conceptualized the transformation of a class of hydrocarbon-rich biomass into sustainable chemicals, bioplastics, elastomers and biomaterials. The biomass includes resin acids, plant oils, fatty acids, and terpenes (Figure 1). Our goals are to develop these sustainable materials that are comparable to or even better than petroleum counterparts. We aim to discover chemistry that could lead to atom-efficient, eco-friendly and economy-feasible processes for converting biomass into useful intermediates, monomers and polymers. We also tackle some long-lasting hurdles in utilizing this class of biomass. We explored macromolecular approaches to making mechanically robust resin acid-containing polymers by enabling ultra-high molecular weight or by designing pentablock copolymers to surpass the low chain entanglement. We have capitalized on the transesterification and amidation to prepare plant oil-derived polymers with glass transition temperature spanning over one hundred degree. By further instilling some unique functional groups from biomass with robust efficient chemistry (e.g. reversible Diels-Alder, triazolinedione click Chemistry), we have been able to make high performance elastomers via grafting random copolymers, and shape-memory materials via dynamic and permanent networks. In addition, we have transformed nano-lignin and cellulose nanocrystals into renewable polymers to achieve tough bioplastics. II: Organometallics and Metallopolymers Synthetic Methodology on Cationic Metallocene Derivatives and Polymers. We have led the accomplishment of a new platform of organometallic and metallopolymer chemistry based on cationic metallocenes (or metallocenium). We developed synthetic strategies to prepare metallocenium derivatives: nucleophilic addition and hydride abstraction (Figure 3). These reactions are highly dictated by the steric effect and electron-donating ability of nuceophiles as well as oxidation reagents for hydride abstraction. Systematic methdologies on the preparation of various monomers and controlled polymerization toward side-chain metallocenium-containing polymers have been established. III. Polymers for Dielectric Energy Storage We invest a small effort toward novel dielectric polymers. We have discovered a class of thiophene-containing polymers as high performance dielectric materials for energy storage. These polymers are significantly different from conventional dielectric polyvinylidene fluoride and polypropylene. These polymers can form ultra-small polarizable nanocrystalline domains embedded in an insulating matrix, leading to high dielectric permittivity, while maintaining low dielectric loss. Our recent efforts have led to novel nanocomposites based on thiophene polymer-grafted barium titanate nanoparticles that exhibit unprecedented dielectric properties (Figure 5). We have designed monomodal and biomodal polymer brushes from the BT nanoparticles via RAFT polymerization.
