The synthesis of poly(?-caprolactone-co-ethylene glycol) AAB star-type amphiphilic copolymers were carried out by use of a “click” chemistry reaction to block propargyl polyethylene glycol (propargyl-PEG) to terminally azide poly(?-caprolactone) (PCL-N3). For this purpose, propargyl-PEG was synthesized by the reaction of PEGs (3000 Da, 2000 Da, 1500 Da, and 1000 Da) and propargyl chloride. Terminally chloride poly(?-caprolactone) (PCL-Cl) was carried out by means of ring-opening polymerization (ROP) of ?-caprolactone (CL) and 3-chloro-1,2-propanediol. Synthesis of PCL-N3 was obtained by the chemical interaction of PCL-Cl and sodium . . .azide. By reacting propargyl-PEG and PCL-N3, the star-type amphiphilic copolymers were obtained. The characterization of products was accomplished by using multiple instruments including 1H-NMR, FT-IR, GPC, TGA, contact angles, and elemental analysis techniques. © 2018, © 2018 Taylor & Francis Group, LLC Daha fazlası Daha az

Microbial bioelastomers prepared by the autoxidation of the unsaturated medium-long chain length copoly- 3-hydroxyalkanoate's (mlcl-PHAs) based on soybean oily acids (Sy) have been reported. Pseudomonas oleovorans were grown on a series of the mixture of octanoic acid (OA) and Sy with the weight ratio of 20:80, 28:72 and 50:50 in order to obtain unsaturated mlcl-copolyesters coded PHO-Sy-2080, PHO-Sy-2872, and PHO-Sy-5050, respectively. The microorganism was also grown on the mixture of Sy and 10-undecenoic acid (UA) with the weight ratio of 50:50 to obtain unsaturated copolyester coded PHU-Sy-5050. The PHAs obtained were characteri . . .zed by 1H NMR and GC-MS techniques. Double bond contents of the unsaturated PHAs obtained were varying between 0.8 to 20 mol %. Autoxidation of the unsaturated copolyesters were carried out on exposure to air at room temperature in order to obtain new biomaterials whose mechanical strength was improved. Autoxidation kinetics, shelf life, mechanical and thermal properties of these biomaterials were evaluated Daha fazlası Daha az

Synthesis of poly(methyl methacrylate-block-ethylene glycol-block-methyl methacrylate) triblock copolymers by reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) by using a novel dual macro initiator (RAFT-agent) is reported. RAFT-agent is obtained from potassium salt of the ethyl xanthegonate and the terminally brominated poly(ethylene glycol) (Br-PEG-Br) which is synthesized by the reaction of poly(ethylene glycol) [PEG] with Mn= 3000 Dalton and 3-bromopropionyl chloride. The principal parameters such as monomer concentration, initiator concentration, and polymerization time that affect the polymerization reaction are evaluate . . .d. The characterization of the products is achieved using Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), proton nuclear magnetic resonance (1H-NMR), gel-permeation chromatography (GPC), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), and fractional precipitation () techniques. Molecular weights of the polymers obtained from GPC agreed with the theoretical values. RAFT polymerization is used to control the polymerization of MMA over a broad range of molecular weights.

A wide range of diverse polyhydroxyalkanoates, PHAs, is currently available due to the low substrate specificity of PHA synthases and subsequent modifications by chemical reactions. These polymers are promising materials for a number of different applications due to their biocompatibility and biodegradability. This review summarizes the large variability of PHAs regarding chemical structure and material properties that can be currently produced. In the first part, in vivo and in vitro biosynthesis processes for production of a large variety of different PHAs will be summarized with regard to obtaining saturated and unsaturated copol . . .yesters and side chain functionalized polyesters, including brominated, hydroxylated, methyl-branched polyesters, and phenyl derivatives of polyesters. In the second part, established chemical modifications of PHAs will be summarized as that by means of grafting reactions and graft/block copolymerizations, as well as by chlorination, cross-linking, epoxidation, hydroxylation, and carboxylation, reactions yield further functionalized PHAs. © 2006 Springer-Verlag Daha fazlası Daha az

Novel thermoresponsive polymer conjugates based on microbial polyesters and poly-N-isopropyl acryl amide, PNIPAM, have been reported. The unsaturated poly-3-hydroxy alkanoates, poly (3-hydroxy undecenoate), PHU, and 1:1 mixture of 10-undecenoic acid and soy oil acids, PHU-Sy, were brominated by using bromine in the dark, at room temperature. Brominated PHAs were transformed to macro reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) agents via the substitution reaction with potassium ethyl xanthate. RAFT polymerization of N-isopropyl acryl amide, NIPAM, was initiated by the PHA-derivative containing xanthate pendant groups in o . . .rder to obtain brush type PHA-g-PNIPAM thermo responsive amphiphilic graft copolymers. The water uptake of the PHU-g-PNIPAM and PHU-Sy-g-PNIPAM amphiphilic graft copolymers changed from 50 % to completely soluble in water. Structural and thermal characterization of the novel conjugates were carried out by using 1H NMR, GPC, DSC and TGA techniques.

This work refers to the synthesis of a new double hydrophilic thermo-responsive polymer using fatty acid macroperoxide initiator, N-isopropyl acryl amide (NIPAM) and polyethylene glycol with two primary amine ends (PEGNH2). For this purpose, oleic acid was spread out onto a petri dish and exposed to air oxygen at room temperature for 2 months. The obtained fatty acid macro-peroxide initiator was used in the free radical polymerization of NIPAM in the presence of PEGNH2. Poly oleic acid-g-PNIPAM-g-PEG graft copolymers were successfully obtained. Lower critical solution temperature (LCST) of the graft copolymer was determined by using . . . UV-Vis spectrometry with a sensible heating unit. Morphology of the fractured surface of the double hydrophilic polymers was visualized by using SEM micrographs. Graft copolymers with LCST close to body temperature were obtained by changing PEG inclusion. Structural characterization, thermal analysis and size exclusion chromatography measurements of the obtained products were done Daha fazlası Daha az

In this study, a functionalized hydrophobic polypropylene chloride membrane (PPC) was prepared by the amination of chlorinated polypropylene with hexamethylene diamine (APP). The PPC and APP membranes were characterized using SEM, FTIR and contact angle studies. The aminated polypropylene (APP) membrane was used for covalent immobilization of Candida rugosa lipase via glutaraldehyde coupling. The retained activity of the immobilized lipase was 76%. Kinetic analysis shows that the dependence of lipolytic activity of both free and immobilized lipase on tributyrin substrate concentration can be described by Michaelis-Menten model. The . . .estimated apparent Km values for the free and immobilized lipase were 2.9 and 8.4 mM, respectively. The Vmax values of free and immobilized enzymes were calculated as 926 and 741 U/mg enzyme, respectively. Optimal temperature was 5 °C higher for immobilized enzyme than that of the free enzyme. Thermal and storage stabilities were found to be increased upon immobilization. Finally, the immobilized lipase was used for the production of green apple flavor (i.e., ethyl valerate) in hexane medium. © 2010 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved Daha fazlası Daha az
