Purification and Structure Identification of Hyaluronic Acid

Polysaccharide produced by mutated strain of Streptococcus zooepidemicus was purified by the procedures including Savage method, quaternary ammonium compound precipitation, DEAE-cellulose(DE52) chromatography and Sephadex G-75 gel filtration. The structure of the purified polysaccharide has been characterized by means of chemical composition analysis,13C NMR spectrum, infrared spectrum and circular dichroism (CD). All the results showed that the purified polysaccharide was hyaluronic acid (HA). The single helix conformation of the purified HA was determined by Congo red experiment. The molecular weight of the HA was about 1.16×106D, which was measured by viscosity method.     

Effect of pH on the Behavior of Hyaluronic Acid in Dilute and Semidilute Aqueous Solutions

Summary : Viscosity, asymmetric flow field-flow fractionation (AFFFF) methods, and dynamic light scattering (DLS) experiments were used to characterize the effect of pH on the behavior of dilute and semidilute aqueous buffered solutions of hyaluronic acid (HA). It is shown that degradation of HA occurs at pH < 4 and pH > 11, and in the domain 4 < pH < 11 virtually no disruption of the HA chains occurs. The pH-induced scission of HA is attributed to the cleavage of glycosidic bonds. In dilute solutions, intramolecular rupture of HA chains occurs and in the semidilute concentration regime network-fragmentation is observed at low and high pH values. The degree of degradation of HA is most marked at high pH. From the molecular weight and radius of gyration obtained from AFFFF at different pH values, it is clear that the degradation of HA starts at early times after preparation of the solution, and continues for a couple of days. The kinetics of degradation of HA is fastest at high pH.

Effect of Surface Structure on Behavior of RuO2 Electrodes in Sulfuric Acid Aqueous Solution

The electrochemical properties of RuO₂ electrodes are studied by means of cyclic voltammetry, potential step, and impedance measurements in aqueous 0.5 mol/dm³ H₂SO₄ as a supporting electrolyte solution and applying the hanging electrolyte meniscus technique. Two types of the electrodes are used: bulk as-grown single-crystal having (101) exposed interface and 500 nm film produced by reactive RF magnetron sputtering at 450°C. The surface structure of the RuO₂ electrodes prepared by different techniques is defined from X-ray LAUE backscattering. Experimental data show that, for both RuO₂ electrodes, the charging components include a slow diffusion-controlled contribution, due to proton injection–ejection. The diffusion characteristics and the diffusion coefficients for the same electrodes are estimated and reported.     

Copolymerization of Methacrylic Acid and N-Vinylpyrrolidone in Aqueous Solution

The monomer reactivity ratios for the copolymerization of methacrylic acid (MA) and N-vinylpyrrolidone (NVP) in aqueous media at 30°C were determined as a function of pH (range 2-10), by use of both the modified differential (YBR) and integrated copolymerization equation to process the data at high conversions (< 70% by weight). The reactivity ratio r₁ (for MA) ranges from 0.92 to 8.3 and that for NVP (r₂) is very small except at pH 7 and 8. The ri values show two minima: 2.9 at pH 4 and 0.92 at pH 8, nearly corresponding to the pKa values of the monomer MA and the polymer, respectively. Addition of 1 M sodium chloride results in an increase of n values, and the values are still lower than those of the undissoeiated acid. The trend of r_xwith pH is seen to follow that of the homopolymerization behavior of MA reported in the literature. The r₁ and r₂ are of the same order as those obtained in dimethylformamide in the literature.     

Deprotonation of Synthetic Polyadenyl-Polyuridyl Acid in Aqueous Solution

Ultraviolet, circular dichroism spectroscopies were used to examine the acid-base equilib-rium of a double-helix synthetic polyadenyl-polyuridyl Poly(A)-Poly(U) acid in neutral and alkaline aqueoussolutions. The deprotonation initially has a positive cooperativity which changes for negative at the deprotonation degree > 1/2. A model is proposed, that explains the titration curves and the complex dependence of pK _a on pH for Poly(A)-Poly(U) in going from the neutral to alkaline region. The model is based on the allowance for the effect of immediate environment on the internal protonation constant of ideal polymer.

Structure of Aqueous Lithium Tetraborate Solution

The structure of aqueous lithium tetraborate solutions was investigated by species distribution calculation and synchrotron X-ray scattering. It shows that the dominant species in supersaturated solution at 298.15 K is B₄O₅(OH) ₄ ^2? and the minor species are B₃O₃(OH) ₅ ^2? , B₃O₃(OH) ₄ ^? and B(OH)₃. The ‘intramolecular’ structural parameters of B₄O₅(OH) ₄ ^2? , such as bond length and coordination number, were gives out using density function theory calculation. X-ray scattering study shows that the distance Li–O(H₂O)_I of [Li(H₂O)₄]⁺ is about 0.1983 nm with the coordination number(CN) 4 in tetrahedral configuration. The B–O(H₂O) distance in hydrated anion B₄O₅(OH)₄(OH₂) ₈ ^2? is 0.3662 nm with the CN 12. The Li⁺–B distance is about 0.3364 nm with a coordination number ~1.0. The temperature effect on solution structure was also discussed.

Absorptiometric Determination of Acetylsalicylic Acid in Aqueous Ethanolic Solution

Abstract

Acetylsalicylic acid (ASA) was found to be quite soluble and quite stable in a 50/50% volume/volume water–ethanol solution. In this solution, a well-defined spectrum with a maximum absorbance, λ_max, of 276 nm of ASA was observed, and a molar absorptivity, ε, of 1.1 × 10³ M-cm was determined. These characteristic physical properties were used to determine ASA concentration in different brands of aspirin. The λ_max and the ε of salicylic acid were also determined. The characteristic values determined were 300 nm and 3.83 × 10³ M-cm, respectively. In this solution and using the method developed here, the concentrations of salicylic acid and ASA in a given aspirin formulation can be determined simultaneously.

Kinetics and Modeling of Methacrylic Acid Radical Polymerization in Aqueous Solution

Batch radical polymerization of non‐ionized methacrylic acid, 30 wt.‐% in aqueous solution, has been studied at 50 °C and ambient pressure with 2‐mercaptoethanol (ME) as the chain‐transfer agent (CTA). Initial polymerization rate decreases with CTA concentration, which has been varied up to 20 mol‐%. A kinetic model is presented which includes chain‐length‐dependent termination and uses an empirical function to account for the dependence of termination rate on both monomer conversion and molar mass of the polymeric product. In conjunction with PREDICI simulation, this model affords for an adequate representation of the measured monomer conversion vs. time profiles.

However, complex 2 has excellent fluorescence properties, and can emit bright red light under the irradiation of ultraviolet lamp.     

Effect of Chemical Structure and Charge Distribution on Behavior of Polyzwitterions in Solution

Summary: The hydrodynamic and conformational properties of polyelectrolyte poly(N,N-diallyl-N,N-dimethylammonium chloride) and its corresponding polybetaine poly(2-diallyl(methyl)ammonio)acetate) molecules in aqueous solutions with various ionic strength and pH, were studied by viscometry, static and dynamic light scattering methods. It was established that a 1 M NaCl solution is a thermodynamically good solvent for poly(N,N-diallyl-N,N-dimethylammonium chloride). In water solutions conformation of poly(2-diallyl(methyl)ammonio)acetate) molecules corresponds to polymer coil under θ–conditions. An increase in the concentration of NaCl in water and 0.1M NaOH solutions from 0 to 1 mol/l brings about a sharp gain in the intrinsic viscosity of the polymer and in the hydrodynamic radius of molecules. This effect results from the decomposition of zwitterion pairs responsible for the compact conformation of polymer molecules in water and 0.1 M NaOH. The Kuhn segment length for poly(2-diallyl(methyl)ammonio)acetate) molecules A = 6.3 nm determined in water and in 0.1 M NaOH solutions practically coincided with A value 6.6 nm, received in 1 M NaCl and in 0.1 M NaOH/1M NaCl. For poly(N,N-diallyl-N,N-dimethylammonium chloride) molecules in 1 M NaCl solutions A = 3.9 nm.
