Research Interest

1. Polymer materials and composites

A novel and straightforward synthetic technique for the preparation of porous chitosan/reduced graphene oxide (CS/r-GO) composites is desirable. The aim of this study was to develop porous chitosan/r-GO composites, and the r-GO was dispersed in chitosan matrix, and was thus able to maintain appropriate dispersion and stability, which greatly improves their applicability. The present study explores the adsorption capacities, kinetics and thermodynamics of Cu(II) ions from aqueous solution onto fabricated composites. Cu(II) ions adsorbed on composites were reduced by chemical treatment to synthesize the copper nanoparticles/chitosan/r-GO composites. Under near-infrared irradiation, the organic compound could be reduced in the presence of fabricated composites, and the results for the application of porous copper nanoparticles/chitosan/r-GO composites are evaluated in organic reactions.
