Synthesis,characterization, and catalytic activity of titanium iminophenoxide complexes in relation to the ring‐opening polymerization of L‐lactide and ε‐caprolactone

This study synthesized a series of titanium iminophenoxide complexes and investigated their suitability as catalysts for the ring‐opening polymerization of L ‐lactide (L ‐LA) and ε‐caprolactone (CL). Complexes with bidentate ligands demonstrate higher catalytic activity than their tridentate counterparts since the third coordination atom needs to contend with L ‐LA and CL. Differences in the geometric framework of bidentate ligands also influence the catalytic activity. Type II ligands (N, N‐trans form of Ti complex) prevent the coordination of monomers to Ti thereby decreasing the initiation rate. © 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Halogenated chamigrane sesquiterpenes from Laurencia okamurae

Three new halogenated chamigrane sesquiterpenes, laurokamin A (1), laurokamin B (2), and laurokamin C (3), and four known halogenated chamigrane sesquiterpenes, 10‐bromo‐α‐chamigrene (4), 10‐bromo‐β‐chamigrene (5), 2,10‐dibromo‐3‐chloro‐β‐chamigrene (6), and obtusane (7), were isolated from the marine red alga Laurencia okamurae collected from the coast of Rongcheng, China. The structures of these compounds were unambiguously identified by one‐ and two‐dimensional NMR and mass spectroscopic methods. The antimicrobial activity of compounds 1–3 was evaluated.

Immiscibility–miscibility phase transformation in blends of poly(ethylene succinate) with poly(L‐lactic acid)s of different molecular weights

Using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), polarizing optical microscopy (POM), and Fourier transformed infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), upper critical solution temperature (UCST) phase behavior with immiscibility–miscibility transformation in blends of poly(ethylene succinate) (PESu) with poly(lactic acid)s (PLAs), such as poly(D ,L ‐lactic acid) (PDLLA), poly(L ‐lactic acid) (PLLA), poly(D ‐lactic acid) (PDLA), differing in D/L configurations and molecular weights were investigated. All three binary blends of PDLLA/PESu, PLLA/PESu, and PESu/PDLA exhibit UCST behavior, which means they are immiscible at ambient temperature but can become miscible upon heating to higher temperatures at 240–268 °C depending on molecular weights. The PLLAs/PESu blends at UCST could be reverted back to the original phase‐separated morphology, as proven by solvent redissolution. The blends upon quenching from above UCST could be frozen into a quasi‐miscible state, where the Flory‐Huggins interaction parameter (χ₁₂) was determined to be a negative value (by melting point depression technique). The interaction between PDLLA and PESu in blend resulted in significant reduction in spherulite growth rate of PESu. Furthermore, blends of PESu with lower molecular weight PLLA or PDLA (M_w of PLLA and PDLA are 152,000 and 124,000 g/mol, respectively), instead of the higher M_w of PDLLA (M_w of PDLLA = 157,000 g/mol), are immiscible with UCST phase behavior, which are affected by molecular weights rather than the ratio of L/D monomer in the chemical structure of PLAs. © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

New oxidized sterols from Aspergillus awamori and the endo‐boat conformation adopted by the cyclohexene oxide system

Two new oxidized sterols 1 and 2 were obtained from the active fraction of a mangrove fungus Aspergillus awamori isolated from the soils around the mangrove plant Acrostichum speciosum. Their structures were elucidated using spectroscopic methods as 22E‐7α‐methoxy‐5α,6α‐epoxyergosta‐8(14),22‐dien‐3β‐ol (1) and 22E‐3β‐hydroxy‐5α,6α,8α,14α‐diepoxyergosta‐22‐en‐7‐one (2). The NMR data and complete assignments for both DMSO‐d₆ and CDCl₃ were given. Their cytotoxic activity against A549 cell line was evaluated. Furthermore, the detailed conformation analysis for ring B (cyclohexene oxide system) of sterol 1 was given on the basis of NOEs. The endo‐boat conformation was considered as the preferred conformation for ring B rather than half‐chair conformation. Copyright © 2009 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Unsaturated hyperbranched polyester as a surface modifier of CaCO3 and enhanced effect on mechanical properties of HDPE/CaCO3 composites

The unsaturated hyperbranched polyester (UH20) based on Boltorn™ H20 (H20) end‐capped with methacrylate groups and carboxylic acid groups was introduced to treat calcium carbonate (CaCO₃) as a new type of surface modifier by a wet‐coating technique. The interaction between CaCO₃ and modifier was proven to be due to the ionic character by FT‐IR after the extraction with acetone. The maximum amount of tightly bonded UH20 modifier was determined to be around 9% by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). The incorporation of CaCO₃ coated with UH20 into high‐density polyethylene (HDPE) decreased the mechanical performance of HDPE/CaCO₃ composite in comparison with CaCO₃ coated with stearic acid. In the presence of a small amount of dicumyl peroxide (DCP), a greatly improvement of the notched impact strength as well the tensile strength of HDPE/CaCO₃ coated with UH20 composite was obtained. An enhanced effect in the mechanical performance of the composite between CaCO₃ coated with UH20 and HDPE matrix in the existence of DCP was suggested. Moreover, the morphological structures of impact fracture surface of the HDPE/CaCO₃ composites were studied by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) to confirm the possible mechanism for explaining the improvement of mechanical properties of the composite.

Preparation of albumin—PAA nanocapsules and their controlled release behavior for drugs

New kinds of narrowly distributed protein‐based nanoparticles, bovine serum albumin‐Poly (acrylic acid) (BSA/PAA) nanospheres, and nanocapsules were prepared via in situ polymerization, swelling, and re‐aggregation. The structure and morphology of the nanospheres were characterized by UV‐Vis, FT‐IR, DLS, and TEM. The stability of the BSA/PAA nanospheres and nanocapsules was increased when their skeletons were fixed by cross‐linked agents. The nanospheres carried a positive charge and their size was about 80–110 nm. The protein‐based nanocapsules were stimuli‐responsive with pH value and their hydrodynamic diameter varied from 70 to 230 nm with changes of pH. In vitro release experiments of Rhodamine B and Doxorubicin hydrochloride showed that these biopolymer nanoparticles provided a controlled release of the entrapped drugs for 300 hr.
