My work broadly concentrates on the chemical transformation and utilization of biomass
resources. I have spearheaded a few interdisciplinary initiatives that combine expertise in
the fields of polymer synthesis and materials chemistry. I am interested in the atom-efficient,
ecofriendly, highly efficient chemical transformations of a variety of biomass into
sustainable intermediates, polymer auxiliaries, bioplastics, elastomers and advanced
bio-based materials. My current research mainly includes the following areas:
Solvent- and catalyst-free synthesis of plasticizer, flame retardant，heat stabilizer and polyol
from biomass resources
Flame retardant polymer and their composites materials including polyvinyl chloride(PVC)
materials, phenolic foam and polyurethane foam
Biomass-based internally plasticized PVC materials and self-repairing elastomer and
self-repairing polyurethane
