GRAFT COPOLYMERIZATION OF VINYL MONOMERS ONTO STARCH INITIATED BY TRANSITION METAL-THIOUREA REDOX SYSTEMS

In this paper, the capabilities of grafting acrylonitrile (AN) onto starch initiatedby Fe(III)-TU, V(V)-TU, Cr(VI)-TU, Mn(VII)-TU redox systems were compared in thepresence of sulfuric acid of different concentrations. It was shown that the grafting capabili-ty of Mn(VII)-TU is the highest in these initiating systems. Using Mn (VII-TU as initia-tor, the effects of various acids (HClO_4, H_2SO_4, HNO_3, HCl) on the graft copolymerizationof acrylonitrile onto starch were discussed, and the capabilities of graft copolymerizationof methyl methacrylate (MMA), acrylamide (AM), acrylic acid (AA) onto starch wereinvestigated. The experimental results show that the order of the influences of differentacids is HClO_4>H_2SO_4>HNO_3>HCl, and the order of grafting capabilities of differentmonomers grafted onto starch is MMA>AN>AM>AA. The structure and morphology ofgraft copolymers were studied with infrared spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy.The size, shape and roughness of surface of the grafted starch granules are changed aftergrafting.

Modification of the halogen end groups of polystyrene prepared by ATRP

The stabilization modification of the halogen end groups of polystyrene prepared by atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) has been attempted. The reaction mechanism adopted is radical chain transfer reaction, and iso-propylbenzene is employed as not only the chain transfer agent but also the solvent. Moreover, Cu⁰ is used as the acceptor of the transformed halogen atom in some experiments. As evidenced by ¹H NMR analysis of the modified products, the halogen end group can really be converted into the much more stable carbon-hydrogen structure. When Cu⁰ is not used, the conversion of the halogen end groups rises rapidly during the early stage and the increase rate slows down after about 8 h reaction. In view of the influence of reaction temperature on the modification, the conversion increases almost exponentially with temperature in the range of 80-100 °C, and the increase rate slows down at higher temperature. ¹H NMR and SEC analyses prove that the modification reaction does not destroy the polymer backbone and the molecular weights remain almost the same as those of the unmodified samples. When Cu⁰ is introduced, the modification reaction proceeds much rapidly, the conversion of the halogen end groups rises almost linearly at the early stage and the nearly complete (>95%) dehalogenation of the polymeric chains is observed after only 12 h reaction. However, the molecular weights rise and the polydispersities become wider after the modification, which implies that the modification is accompanied with the couple termination of the polystyrene radicals besides chain transfer reaction. Furthermore, the couple termination can be restrained at some lower catalyst concentration. Indeed, the modified polymers show improved thermal stability, the initial weight loss temperatures is increased from 196 °C to 378 °C for the linear polystyrene and from 203 °C to 261 °C for the hyperbranched polystyrene.     

A multifunctional Pasteurella multocida sialyltransferase: a powerful tool for the synthesis of sialoside libraries

A multifunctional sialyltransferase has been cloned from Pasteurella multocida strain P-1059 and expressed in E. coli as a truncated C-terminal His6-tagged recombinant protein (tPm0188Ph). Biochemical studies indicate that the obtained protein is (1) an alpha2,3-sialyltransferase (main function), (2) an alpha2,6-sialyltransferase, (3) an alpha2,3-sialidase, and (4) an alpha2,3-trans-sialidase. The recombinant tPm0188Ph is a powerful tool in the synthesis of structurally diverse sialoside libraries due to its relaxed substrate specificity, high solubility, high expression level, and multifunctionality.

On the Criteria of Instability for Electrochemical Systems

Both cyclic-voltammetry-based and impedance-based experimental criteria that have been developed recently for the oscillatory electrochemical systems are critically appraised with two typical categories of oscillators.Consistent conclusions can be drawn by the two criteria for the category of oscillators that involve the coupling of charge transfer mainly with surface steps(e.g.ad-and desorption)such as in the electrooxidation of C1 organic molecules.Whereas,impedance-based criterion is not applicable to the category of oscillators that involve the coupling of charge transfer mainly with mass transfer(e.g.diffusion and convection) such as in the Fe(CN)6^3- reduction accompanying periodic hydrogen evolution.The reason is that the negative impedance cannot include the feedback information of convection mass transfer induced by the hydrogen evolution.However,both positive and negative nonlinear feedbacks,i.e., the diffusion-limited depletion and convection-enhanced replenishment of the Fe(CN)6^3- surface concentration,that coexist between the bistability,i.e.,Fe(CN)6^3- reduction with and without hydrogen evolution at lower and higher potential sides respectively,are all reflected in the crossed cyclic voltammogram(CCV).It can be concluded that the voltammetry-based criterion(in time domain)is more intuitive,less time-consuming and has a wider range of applications than the impedancebased one (in frequency domain).
