Tian JX, Hu JY, Wang K, Deng J and Luo GS* Green Chemistry, 2020, 22: 2778Abstract: A novel chemical looping technology for the synthesis of 2,2′-dibenzothiazole disulfide (MBTS) with zero emissions has been developed. Through chemical cycling between carbonate and bicarbonate in the reaction system, the insoluble 2-mercaptobenzothiazole (MBT) can become soluble in the aqueous phase of sodium ...

Cheng K#, Lu SY#, Wang K*, Luo GS.2022, 7: 76.Abstract: Ring-opening polymerization (ROP) of lactones catalyzed by 1,5,7-triazabicyclo[4,4,0]decane-5-ene (TBD) is a highly efficient method for synthesizing aliphatic polyester materials. In order to create a green and sustainable synthetic route for poly(δ-valerolactone) with a narrow molecular weight distribution, we propose CO2 as the termina...

Han CL, Deng J, Wang K, Luo GS*, Langmuir2021, 37: 5878. Abstract: Monodispersed polysilsesquioxane (PSQ) spheres with diameters from hundreds of nanometers to several microns have been successfully synthesized; however, the knowledge of their formation mechanism still lags behind. Herein, with methyltrimethoxysilane and 3-mercaptopropyl trimethoxysilane as model silicon sources, the formation...

Lu SY, Wang K*, 2019, 4: 1189. Abstract: The kinetics of aliphatic polyester synthesis is critical to understanding the mechanism of ring-opening polymerization and making the reaction more controllable. In this paper, we introduce a gas-driven droplet flow reactor to determine the reaction kinetics of 1,5,7-triazabicyclo[4.4.0]dec-5-ene (TBD) catalyzed δ-valerolactone polymerization. Only 2...

Lin XY, Yan S, Zhou BY, Wang K*, Zhang J, Luo GS*,2017, 19: 2155.Abstract: We herein propose a highly efficient method for the synthesis of polyvinyl butyral (PVB), an important resin material used for laminated glass in vehicles. The condensation reaction between polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) andn-butanal was successfully implemented in a reaction system containing a membrane dispersion microreactor...
