Main work

Prof. Wu Guomin focusing on the national demand of low-carbon and emission reducing, and targeting the goals of green manufacturing for green materials, some achievements have been made in the waterborne and high-performance technologies for biomass based thermosetting polymers.

Proposing the mechanism of in-situ composite "cross-linking point like" enhancement of nanocellulose waterborne resin. By using active hydroxyl groups to form chemical coupling, the interaction between nanocellulose and resin matrix interface is enhanced, significantly improving the mechanical properties of the composite materials.

Developing the key technology for intramolecular self emulsification of biomass based epoxy resins. In view of the problem of poor storage stability of waterborne epoxy resin emulsion, the key technology of intramolecular self emulsification of epoxy resin was broken through, and the storage stability of emulsion was significantly improved from < 6 months of conventional products to > 18 months.

Developing the key technology for autocatalytic crosslinking of biomass based waterborne polyurethane. In response to the problem of slow film-forming speed of waterborne wood coatings, the key technology of self catalytic crosslinking of waterborne polyurethane was broken through, and the film-forming speed of the coating at room temperature was shortened from 7 days to 3 days.

Creating and applying new waterborne thermosetting resin for high-end wood coatings. A new generation of waterborne thermosetting resin cured with silane coupling agents with epoxy groups was developed using the compatibility mechanism of organic silicon. The product supports thick wet film coating, and the coating has outstanding performance advantages such as high fullness, high glossiness, high hardness, and high chemical resistance.
