About
Nucleophilic Activation of Elemental Sulfur with Amines and Nucleophilic Heterocycles Tech ID: UA16-049 Invention: This invention describes a process to utilize nucleophiles to activate elemental sulfur. Background: Existing catalytic methods involve heavy metal components and ultraviolet light. Alternative options also include using free-radicals to catalyze a polymerization reaction. The invention instead has the benefit of generating intermediates with unexplored reactivity, which can be used to bond compounds into a sulfur copolymer.
Key Benefits
- Rapid reaction time - Cost saving - Increased efficiency in terms of product produced per unit time - Increased efficiency regarding energy usage for the production of the compounds
Applications
- Polymeric drug delivery systems - Production of lithium sulfur batteries
