報告摘要:
This lecture will first describe our recent and on-going efforts towards the development of efficient chemical synthesis of stereoperfect, highly crystalline and high-molecular-weight bacterial polyesters derived from renewable resources. Next, the lecture will focus on the design and synthesis of next-generation sustainable polymers that not only exhibit robust physical and mechanical properties but can also be thermally and/or chemically depolymerized back to their monomers in quantitative yield and purity, ready for repolymerization, thereby establishing their circular life cycles.
報告人簡介:
Eugene Chen教授博士畢業于美國麻省大學Amherst分校,後在美國西北大學和陶氏化學從事五年研究工作後,于2000年加入美國科羅拉多州立大學,現為John K. Stille Chair in Chemistry和Millennial Professor of Polymer Science and Sustainability。他當前的研究工作主要涉及高分子科學、綠色和可持續發展化學、再生能源和催化化學等多個領域。Eugene傑出的研究工作得到了學術界的廣泛認可。他于2012年當選為American Association for the Advancement of Science會士并于2015年獲得美國總統綠色化學獎(the Presidential Green Chemistry Challenge Award)。
