An urea adsorbent with an aldo structure was obtained by the oxidation of a crosslinked β-cyclodextrin polymer.The highest urea adsorption capacity reached 56.7mg/g in 0.05Maqueous phosphate buffer 37℃ and pH=7.4,and decrease to 4.8mg/g in in aqueous human serum albumin.The composite adsorbent was prepared by the oxidation of a crosslinked β-cyclodextrin and dialytic membrane.It was found that the composite adsorbent has a higher urea adsorption selectivity and capacity compared to that of the oxidation of a crosslinked β-cyclodextrin adsorbent when urea is in aqueous human serum albumin.     

Preparation of a Cyclomaltoheptaose （p—cyclodextrin） Cross—linked Chitosan Derivative via Glyoxal or Glutaraldehyde

A cyclomaltohcptaose-β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) crosslinked chitosan derivative via glyoxal or glutaraldehyde was prepared. The structures of β-CD crosslined chitosan with glyoxal or glutaraldehyde were characterized by IR spectra. The surface morphology of the β-CD crosslinked chitosan particles was examined using a scanning electron microscope. The immobilization capacity of β-CD on chitosan was affected on the weight ratio of β-CD/chitosan,the utilization amount of crosslinking agent, the acidity of the reaction system and the temperature.The adsorption for nicotine indicated that the chitosan-β-CD was a good adsorbent.     

Immobilization and Properties of Lipase from Candida rugosa on Electrospun Nanofibrous Membranes with Biomimetic Phospholipid Moities

Reported here is a protocol to fabricate a biocatalyst with high enzyme loading and activity retention, from the conjugation of electrospun nanofibrous membrane having biomimetic phospholipid moiety and lipase. To improve the catalytic efficiency and activity of the immobilized enzyme, poly（acrylonitrile-co-2-methacryloyloxyethyl phosphorylcholine）s（PANCMPCs） were, respectively, electrospun into nanofibrous membranes with a mean diameter of 90 nm, as a support for enzyme immobilization. Lipase from Candida rugosa was immobilized on these nanofibrous membranes by adsorption. Properties of immobilized lipase on PANCMPC nanofibrous membranes were compared with those of the lipase immobilized on the polyacrylonitrile（PAN） nanofibrous and sheet membranes, respectively. Effective enzyme loading on the nanofibrous membranes was achieved up to 22.0 mg/g, which was over 10 times that on the sheet membrane. The activity retention of immobilized lipase increased from 56.4% to 76.8% with an increase in phospholipid moiety from 0 to 9.6%（molar fraction） in the nanofibrous membrane. Kinetic parameter Km was also determined for free and immobilized lipase. The Km value of the immobilized lipase on the nanofibrous membrane was obviously lower than that on the sheet membrane. The optimum pH was 7.7 for free lipase, but shifted to 8.3-8.5 for immobilized lipases. The optimum temperature was determined to be 35 ℃ for the free enzyme, but 42-44℃ for the immobilized ones, respectively. In addition, the thermal stability, reusability, and storage stability of the immobilized lipase were obviously improved compared to the free one.     

SYNTHESIS AND CHARACTERIZATION OF HYBRID PROTON CONDUCTING MEMBRANES OF POLY（VINYL ALCOHOL） AND PHOSPHOMOLYBDIC ACID

Hybrid proton conducting membranes of poly（vinyl alcohol） （PVA） and phosphomolybdic acid （PMA） were prepared by solution casting method. The effect of PMA doping and PVA crosslinking density on the membrane properties and proton conductivity were investigated. The crosslinking reaction between the hydroxyl group of PVA and the aldehyde group of glutaraldehyde （GA） was characterized by IR spectroscopy. Proton conductivity of the membranes increases with an increase in concentration of the doped PMA and also with an increase in crosslinking density of the membranes. Proton conductivity results indicate that a significant amount of PMA was maintained in the membranes even after several hours of immersion in water. A maximum conductivity of 0.0101 S cm^-1 was obtained for the membrane with 33.3 wt% PMA and crosslinking density of 5.825 mol%. X-ray diffraction studies were carried out to investigate the influence of PMA doping and crosslinking density on the nature of the membranes. These properties make them very good candidates for polymer electrolyte membranes for direct methanol fuel cell application.     

Preparation and Characterization of Chitosan Composite Membranes Crosslinked by Carboxyl-capped Poly（ethylene glycol）

In this study a series of chemically crosslinked chitosan/poly（ethylene glycol） （CS/PEG） composite membranes were prepared with PEG as a crosslinking reagent other than an additional blend. First, carboxyl-eapped poly（ethylene glycol） （HOOC-PEG-COOH） was synthesized. Dense CS/PEG composite membranes were then prepared by casting/evaporation of CS and HOOC-PEG-COOH mixture in acetic acid solution. Chitosan was chemically crosslinked due to the amidation between the carboxyl in HOOC-PEG-COOH and the amino in chitosan under heating, as confirmed by FTIR analysis. The hydrophilicity, water-resistance and mechanical properties of pure and crosslinked chitosan membranes were characterized, respectively. The results of water contact angle and water absorption showed that the hydrophilicity of chitosan membranes could be significantly improved, while no significant difference of weight loss between pure chitosan membranes and crosslinked ones was detected, indicating that composite membranes with amidation crosslinking possess excellent water resistanance ability. Moreover, the tensile strength of chitosan membranes could be significantly enhanced with the addition of certain amount of HOOC-PEG-COOH crosslinker, while the elongation at break didn＇t degrade at the same time. Additionally, the results of swelling behaviors in water at different pH suggested that the composite membranes were pH sensitive.     

PREPARATION AND CHARACTERIZATION OF PVDF-HFP MICROPOROUS MEMBRANE BY TEMPLATE METHOD

Porous poly（vinylidene fluoride-co-hexafluoropropylene） （PVDF-HFP） membranes were successfully prepared using dibutyl phthalate （DBP）, polyvinylpyrrolidone （PVP-K30）, polyethylene glycol 200 （PEG200） as templates. SEM was used to examine the morphology of the PVDF-HFP porous membranes. It was found that these membranes have an asymmetric structure and the blends of PVDF-HFP/DBP formed nanoporous membranes, whereas the blends of PVDF- HFP/PVP-K30 formed ＂sponge-like＂ and microporous membranes. Moreover, the average pore size and porosity was about 0.3 μm and 48.7%, respectively. The crystallinity, thermal stability and mechanical strength of membranes were characterized by XRD, DSC, TGA and stress-strain tests. The results showed that the membranes are a crystals with excellent thermal stability. It was an effective way to regulate pore size and morphology of the PVDF-HFP membranes.     

SYNTHESIS OF POLYMERIC β-CYCLODEXTRIN SUPPORTED BY CROSSLINKED POLY(ACRYLAMIDE-co-VINYLAMINE)AND ITS CATALYSIS OF THE HYDROLYSIS OF p-NITROPHENYL ACETATE

Polymeric β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) supported by crosslinked poly(acrylamide-co-vinylamine) was synthesized as anartificial analog of hydrolytic enzyme and its catalysis of the hydrolysis of p-nitrophenyl acetate (p-NPA) was theninvestigated. The result showed that the polymer-supported β-CD could accelerate the hydrolytic reaction of p-NPA morequickly than β-CD itself and crosslinked poly(acrylamide-co-vinylamine) alone. The acceleration rate of the polymer-supported β-CD was about 10 times as fast as that of free β-CD in 0.01 mol/L phosphate buffer (pH 7.4) containing 32%DMSO at 37±0.1℃ when the molar amount of β-CD units in the polymer was equal to that of free β-CD in the experiments.The enhanced acceleration of thc polymer-supported β-CD should be ascribed to the cooperative contribution of theinclusion effect of β-CD ring and the nucleophilic effect of amino groups on the polymeric support.     

Electrospinning of zein/chitosan composite fibrous membranes

<正>Zein/chitosan composite fibrous membranes were fabricated from aqueous ethanol solutions by electrospinning. Poly(vinyl pyrrolidone)(PVP) was introduced to facilitate the electrospinning process of zein/chitosan composites.The asspun zein/chitosan/PVP composite fibrous membranes were characterized by scanning electron microscopy(SEM) and tensile tests.SEM images indicated that increasing zein and PVP concentrations led to an increase in average diameters of the composite fibers.In order to improve stability in wet stage and mechanical properties,the composite fibrous membranes were crosslinked by hexamethylene diisocyanate(HDI).The crosslinked composite fibrous membranes showed slight morphological change after immersion in water for 24 h.Mechanical tests revealed that tensile strength and elongation at break of the composite fibrous membranes were increased after crosslinking,whereas Young's modulus was decreased.     

Stabilization of electrospun poly(vinyl alcohol) nanofibrous mats in aqueous solutions

<正>The stability ofpoly(vinyl alcohol)(PVA) nanofibrous mats in water media was improved by post-electrospinning treatments.Bifunctional glutaraldehyde(GA) in methanol was used as a crosslinking agent to stabilize PVA nanofiber,but fiber twinning was observed frequently,and the highly porous structure of PVA nanofibrous mats was destroyed when the crosslinked fiber was soaked in water.To overcome this shortcoming,chitosan(CS) was introduced into the PVA spinning solution to prepare PVA/CS composite nanofibers.Their treatment in GA/methanol solution could retain the fiber morphology of PVA/CS nanofibers and porous structure of PVA/CS nanofibrous mats even if they were soaked in aqueous solutions for 1 month.Scanning electron microscopy(SEM),X-ray diffraction(XRD),thermal gravimetric analysis(TGA) and differential scanning calorimetry(DSC) were applied to characterize the physicochemical structure and thermal properties of PVA nanofibers.It was found that the water resistance of PVA nanofibrous mats was enhanced because of the improvement of the degree of crosslinking and crystallinity in the electrospun PVA fibers after soaking in GA/methanol solution.     

Study on the Synthesis and Characterization of Novel Immobilized β-Cyclodextrin Polymer (Ⅰ)

A series of novel β-cyclodextrin polymers was synthesized by immobilization of β-cyclodextrin on the chloromethylated crosslinked polystyrene carriers. The synthetic conditions such as reaction time, temperature, molar feeding ratio of reactants, the degree of crosslinking of polystyrene and the catalysts used were studied in detail and the chemical and physical structures of the formed β-CDpolymers were characterized. Results show that the preparation method is simple and the amount of β-CD immobilized is high. As biomedical adsorbents, they were tested for removal of various endogenous and exogenous toxins such as phenols, aromatic amins, barbitals and unconjugated bilirubin. Results indicate that the adsorptión capacity for those toxins can be enhanced by the inclusion interaction among the β-CD, the substrate molecules and the β-CD polymers.

A nanofibrous composite membrane of PLGA-chitosan/PVA prepared by electrospinning

Tissue engineering scaffolds produced by electrospinning feature a structural similarity to the natural extracellular matrix. In this study, poly(lactide-co-glycolide) (PLGA) and chitosan/poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) were simultaneously electrospun from two different syringes and mixed on the rotating drum to prepare the nanofibrous composite membrane. The composite membrane was crosslinked by glutaraldehyde vapor to maintain its mechanical properties and fiber morphology in wet stage. Morphology, shrinkage, absorption in phosphate buffered solution (PBS) and mechanical properties of the electrospun membranes were characterized. Fibroblast viability on electrospun membranes was discussed by MTT [3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyl tetrazolium bromide] assay and cell morphology after 7 days of culture. Results indicated that the PBS absorption of the composite membranes, no matter crosslinked or not, was higher than the electrospun PLGA membrane due to the introduction of hydrophilic components, chitosan and PVA. After crosslinking, the composite membrane had a little shrinkage after incubating in PBS. The crosslinked composite membrane also showed moderate tensile properties. Cell culture suggested that electrospun PLGA-chitosan/PVA membrane tended to promote fibroblast attachment and proliferation. It was assumed that the nanofibrous composite membrane of electrospun PLGA-chitosan/PVA could be potentially used for skin reconstruction.     

Immobilization of cellulase in nanofibrous PVA membranes by electrospinning

Electrospinning is a nanofiber-forming process by which either polymer solution or melt is charged to high voltages. With high specific surface area and porous structure, electrospun fibrous membranes are excellent candidates for immobilization of enzymes. In this paper, immobilization of cellulase in nanofibrous poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) membranes was studied by electrospinning. PVA and cellulase were dissolved together in an acetic acid buffer (pH 4.6) and electrospun into nanofibers with diameter of around 200 nm. The nanofibrous membranes were crosslinked by glutaraldehyde vapor and examined catalytic efficiency for biotransformations. The activity of immobilized cellulase in PVA nanofibers was over 65% of that of the free enzyme. Nanofibers were superior to casting films from the same solution for immobilization of cellulase. The activity of immobilized cellulase descended with ascending in enzyme loading efficiency and crosslinking time, which retained 36% its initial activity after six cycles of reuse.

Urea potentiometric biosensor based on urease immobilized on chitosan membranes

Potentiometric biosensors based on urease (E.C. 3.5.1.5.) immobilized on chitosan membranes coupled to all-solid-state nonactin ammonium ion selective electrodes are described. The enzyme was immobilized on the chitosan membranes by four procedures: (A) adsorption; (B) adsorption followed by reticulation with dilute aqueous glutaraldehyde solution; (C) activation with glutaraldehyde followed by contact with the enzyme solution; and (D) activation with glutaraldehyde, contact with the enzyme solution and reduction of the Schiff base with sodium borohydride. The response characteristics of the biosensors obtained with these enzymatic membranes were determined and compared. The biosensor with best response characteristics, obtained by procedure (B), showed the following characteristics of response to urea: (i) linearity in the 10(-4) to 10(-2) M range; (ii) slope of up to 56 mV per decade; (iii) response time between 30 s and 2 min; and (iv) lifetime of 2 months. This biosensor was tested in the determination of urea in blood serum samples.     

Lipase bound cellulose nanofibrous membrane via Cibacron Blue F3GA affinity ligand

Cellulose (Cell) nanofibrous membranes were prepared by nucleophilic reaction of the cellulose hydroxyl with the triazinyl chloride of Cibacron Blue F3GA (CB) ligand and studied as affinity membranes for lipase enzyme. Cell nanofibrous membranes containing fibers with 200 nm average diameters were prepared by electrospinning of cellulose acetate (CA), followed by alkaline hydrolysis. The CB capacity of the Cell nanofibrous membranes was optimized by lengthening the nucleophilic reaction time and increasing CB concentration and ionic strength. The equilibrium adsorption isotherms of CB on the Cell nanofibrous membranes followed a typical Langmuir monolayer adsorption behavior. At 242 mg CB/g of Cell, the maximum lipase adsorption capacity (q_m) and the dissociation constant (K_d) values were 41.02 mg/g and 0.25 mg/mL, respectively. Optimal lipase adsorption capacity was obtained at pH 4.0, its isoelectric point, with added NaCl on Cell membranes 86 mg CB capacity per g of Cell. A facile lipase loading capacity of 16.21 mg/g of CB–Cell was achieved under moderated conditions and could be optimized to reach at least 150 mg/g. The CB–Cell bound lipase had similar catalytic rate and retained 86.2% activity as in its free form. These findings clearly show that the CB bound Cell nanofibrous membrane is a highly efficient ultra-high specific porous support for lipase enzyme and is potentially versatile for immobilizing other enzymes and as affinity membrane for proteins.
