Abstract: A porous polymer has a pore volume of 0.3 to 2.5 cm3/g and comprises a pore having a first pore diameter and a pore having a second pore diameter. A ratio of pore volume of the pore having a first pore diameter to pore volume of the pore having a second pore diameter is 1 to 10:1. The porous polymer is obtained by self-polymerization or copolymerization of at least one of the phosphorus ligands, and phosphorous content of the porous polymer is 1 to 5 mmol/g. The porous polymer-nickel catalyst made of the porous polymer has a significant increase in water resistance, which may reduce the consumption of phosphorus ligands, eliminating the steps of removing water from raw materials and reaction system water control, which greatly saves process equipment investment. When used in the preparation of adiponitrile from butadiene, it has high catalytic activity, high reaction selectivity, and high linearity.

Further, the vulcanizing agent-modified graphene particle is mixed with natural rubber latex, and undergoes synergistic coagulation in water to form a graphene masterbatch, which is further processed into the controllable crosslinked natural rubber composite by adding a certain amount of natural rubber block, rubber additive and reinforcing filler.

Abstract: The present invention relates to biodegradable polymers, particularly to a method for converting biodegradable polymers into humus with a low release amount of CO2 and use thereof. A composite material system is formed from the biodegradable polymers and the materials that can slowly release nutrient nitrogen or nutrients nitrogen and phosphorus, in which the mass ratio of carbon to nitrogen in the composite material system is (1-35):1. The materials of the present invention can promote the biodegradable polymers to be converted into soil humus or compost humus, rather than to be converted into greenhouse gas CO2, which is to be emitted into the atmosphere. Therefore, the method is of great significance for energy conservation and emission reduction, green and efficient utilization of biodegradable polymers and efficient and green utilization of biodegradable polymers wastes.
