A Study on Alkyl Polyglycosides of the Starch

The alkyl polyglycosides (APG) is new type the surfactants that is made by regenerationresource of the starch and the grease, since the nineties of 20th century it is energetically exploited ininternational extent. APG not only good in surface activity, but also plenty on bubble, thin greasyand stabilization, there are good decontamination, compatibility, innocuity, not incitation and uniquefunction that organism decomposition of swiftness and downrightness, and so on.APG is to get production that loses one molecule water with half condensation aldehyde hydroxyand sebum alcohol hydroxy under acid catalysis. The production not is one simplicity compound, butis one of sugar polymerization degree, so it is mixture of the alkyl single glucoside, the alkyl twoglucoside and the alkyl three glucoside.Author synthesizes the surfactants of the alkyl polyglycosides, with the oleaster and potato starchand sebum alcohol, that was chosen to use duality system activator of plant acid and p-toluene-sulfoacid for the first time. The adoption way is that the lower alkyl polyglycosides is firstly formed byreaction of lower alcohol with starch then exchanged with high alcohol to obtain APG. The study isto make certain most technics condition, determining capillary tension and the pastern sheafdeepness of critical, calculating HLB value, determining construction by 1R.To synthesize principium:Peroration :[1]Duality system activator of plant acid and p-toluene-sulfo acid is compare idea activator that was the lower alkyl polyglycosides is firstly formed by reaction of lower alcohol with glucose then exchanged with high alcohol to obtain high alkyl polyglycosides. The advantage is that it overcomes agglomeration, there is reaction entirety, high of sugar transform ratio, reaction time short.[2]Most good reaction temperature is 90～ 170℃, the dosage of activator is 0.5%～0.9%, the mated ratio: The APG of glucose basic butane ratio starch is 5:1, the APG of potato starch basic glycol ratio starch is 6:1, the APG of the oleaster starch basic glycol ratio starch is 12:1, the APG of the mealiest starch basic glycol ratio starch is 6:1, the product of complex is good property.[3]The alkyl polyglycosides is the products of surfactant. IR determines the functional group of the products. On the basis of group of the hydrophile and to close on oil, that the feature peak of α-1, 4- glucoside.[4]The capillary tension of the APG is 26.8～31.0mN/m, the HLB value is 16～18, the products is better emulsifying agent of water- solubility.

Oscillation condition for a series piezoelectric sensor. Application to the determination of urease activity in plant seeds

The oscillating conditions for a series piezoelectric quartz crystal (SPQC) are proposed and verified experimentally. The influence of the cell constant and oscillator phase on the oscillational ability of the SPQC was investigated. It is shown that the SPQC possesses excellent oscillational ability in low or high conductivity solutions, but in solution of intermediate conductivity, the oscillational ability decreases with increasing oscillator phase or decreasing cell constant, sometimes resulting in a cease-to-oscillate zone. The SPQC was applied to determine the urease activity in plant seeds with a detection limit of 0.004 U ml⁻¹, based on the change in conductivity.     

Polyarylate–polystyrene block copolymer from macro-azoinitiator: Synthesis and its thermal properties

A macro-azoinitiator containing polyarylate segment and azo group was prepared by the solution polycondensation of azobiscyanopentanoyl chloride and hydroxy-terminated polyarylates having viscosity-average molecular weights of 6200, 8100, and 12 400. These macro-azoinitiators were used in the radical polymerization of styrene to synthesize polyarylate-polystyrene block copolymers. Thermal properties measured by the differential scanning calorimetry indicated the phase separated morphology of the block copolymers except at low molecular weight of the block constituents. © 1993 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
