Cane molasses is a by-product of sugar industry. It is widely used in fermentation field, but pigment compounds affect its further application. In this study, nonpolar hyper-cross-linked adsorption resins (HCARs) were synthesized by pendent vinyl groups cross-linking reaction, and were applied to decolorization of molasses. The correlation between the structure and the decolorization performance of HCARs was studied, and the results showed that the Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) surface area and the pore volume of the resin significantly increased to 574.4 m·g and 1.40 cm·g after the Friedel-Crafts alkylation reaction with a catalyst dosage of 2.25% at 343 K for 7 h. Furthermore, the decolorization rate of molasses by the HCAR was 74%, and recycle decolorization performance of the resin was stable. The adsorption kinetics results showed that the pseudo-second-order dynamic model could more realistically reflect the decolorization mechanism of molasses on HCARs, and liquid film diffusion is the main rate-limiting step. The results of fixed-bed experiments show that D-ST-DVB resin has a good decolorization effect and recycling ability. Therefore, it is a feasible strategy for the decolorization of molasses with nonpolar HCAR.

Article Synopsis
- Fluoropolymers have great potential for high-tech applications, but synthesizing them from simple monomers is challenging.
- This research introduces a new method using organocatalyzed controlled radical copolymerization to create fluoropolymers without metals, allowing for customizable side-chain fluorinated polymers through light irradiation.
- The resulting fluoropolymers have desirable properties like good chain-end fidelity, low dispersity, adjustable compositions, and excellent light transmission capabilities.

The visible-light irradiation of acylsilane tethered vinyl ketones promotes an intramolecular Stetter-type reaction siloxycarbene intermediates. To exploit this unique mode of reactivity, we herein describe the innovative use of acylsilanes as photofunctional directing groups. First, an acylsilane directed ruthenium catalysed C-H olefination reaction was developed to generate benzoylsilanes bearing vinyl ketone functionality.

Poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG)-based hydrogels are particularly challenging to degrade, which hinders efficient cell harvesting within the gel matrix. Here, highly branched copolymers of PEG methyl ether acrylate (PEGMA) and disulfide diacrylate (DSDA) (PEG-DS) with short primary chains and multiple pendent vinyl groups were synthesized by a "vinyl oligomer combination" approach. PEG-DS readily cross-links with thiolated gelatin (Gel-SH) to form hydrogels.

The spontaneous condensation of amines with β-triketones (TK), forming β,β'-diketoenamines (DKE) and releasing water as the sole byproduct, exhibits many of the hallmarks of "click" reactions. Such characteristics render TKs as a highly advantageous platform for efficient polymer diversification, even in biological contexts. Leveraging reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) and photoiniferter polymerization of novel TK-containing vinylic monomers, we synthesized polymers containing pendent TKs with excellent control of molecular weights, even in excess of 10 g mol.

An efficient and controllable polyetherification of vinylethylene carbonate (VEC) using diols as initiators is developed. By using a synergistic catalysis with palladium and boron reagents under mild conditions, the polymerization process enables the regioselective production of a series of polyvinylethylene glycols (PVEGs) bearing pendent vinyl groups in high yields with accurate molecular weight control and narrow molecular weight distribution. The utility of PVEGs is demonstrated by the production of functional polyurethanes and post-polymerization modification thiol-ene photo-click chemistry.
