Project: Fast Living/Controlled Cationic Polymerization in Microreactor: Fundamental Research and Application
 

1. Fundamental study on activity and stability of carbocations
Using DFT simulation to calculate the binding energy of active species, quantify the correlation between stability or activity and various effects.

2. Coordination mechanism and regulatory window with fast initiation system in microflow

3. Fast synthesis of thermo-sensitive copolymers- poly(IBVE-co-HBVE)

4. Tailoring AlCl3/iPr2O/Et2O Initiation System towards Highly Reactive Polyisobutylenes Synthesis in Thorough n-Hexane
