Abstract:Para-dioxanone, a typical monomer for high-performance biomedical polymers, is generally obtained from the catalytic dehydrogenation of diethylene glycol. In this work, Cu/SiO2 catalysts were prepared by two different methods and applied in diethylene glycol dehydrogenation. The effects of catalyst properties on the performance of para-dioxanone production were systematically explored by combined techniques. The results showed that the high specific surface area and regular pore structure of the catalyst promo… Show more
