Pyrolysis products and thermal degradation mechanism of intrinsically flame-retardant calcium alginate fibre

Intrinsically flame-retardant calcium alginate fibre was prepared by wet spinning and its pyrolysis products and thermal degradation mechanism studied. Combustion behaviour and flammability were assessed using the limiting oxygen index (LOI) and cone calorimetry. LOI results showed that calcium alginate fibre was intrinsically flame retardant with LOI value of 48.0, as compared to about 20.0 for viscose fibre. Cone calorimetry indicated that heat release rate and total heat release values of intrinsically flame-retardant fibre were significantly less than those of viscose fibre. It also shown that intrinsically flame-retardant fibre combustion produced greater quantities of residues than did viscose fibre combustion. Combustion residues were examined using scanning electron microscopy, indicating that calcium alginate fibre produced consistent, thick residue crusts. Pyrolysis was investigated using pyrolysis-gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (Py-GC-MS) which showed that cracking products produced from calcium alginate fibres combustion were less than those in viscose fibre combustion, and pyrolysis of the intrinsically flame-retardant fibre was incomplete. Thermogravimetric analysis (TG) indicated that calcium alginate fibre generated more residues containing carbonaceous char and calcium carbonate, as compared with viscose fibre. We propose a condensed phase mechanism for the calcium alginate fibre flame-retardancy effect.     

Facile Preparation of Core-Shell Nanocomposite Microgels

Microgels with alginate (Alg) gel cores and shells of SiO₂ nanoparticles (so-called colloidosomes) were prepared by self-assembly of SiO₂ nanoparticles at ALG aqueous solution–hexane interfaces and subsequent in situ gelation caused by Ca²⁺ ions that were released from calcium-ethylenediamine tetraacetic acid chelate by decreasing the pH value through the slow hydrolysis of D-Gluconic-δ-lactone. The packing density of SiO₂ nanoparticles in the shell was about 0.906, indicating that the SiO₂ nanoparticles were present monolayer on the surfaces of the colloidosomes. The half release times of insulin microcrystals were 4 h for Alg gel microspheres and 10 h for Alg/SiO₂ colloidosomes at pH 7.4, compared to 1.5 h for bare insulin. The half release times of insulin microcrystals were 12 min for Alg gel microspheres and 30 min for Alg/SiO₂ colloidosomes at pH 1.2, compared to 30 s for bare insulin. The release rates of insulin from the colloidosomes with core–shell structure were slower than that from bare insulin crystals due to the dual barriers of the hydrogel cores and the close-packed inorganic shells. The release curves were nicely fitted by the Weibull equation and the release followed Fickian diffusion.     

碳点嫁接海藻酸钙复合结构的制备及其对Cu~(2+)的检测

基于铜离子与碳点的荧光猝灭作用,建立了用碳点作为荧光探针来检测铜离子的新方法。该方法将碳点还原后再嫁接于海藻酸钙,从而得到一种新型的含还原碳点的海藻酸钙薄膜荧光探针。用荧光分光光度计和紫外-可见分光光度计对探针的荧光特性以及探针与金属离子的相互作用进行了研究。研究结果表明:改性后的荧光探针具有很高的荧光强度,因此可以根据探针荧光强度的变化实现对铜离子的检测,并通过乙二胺四乙酸二钠(EDTA)的作用实现对铜离子的重复检测。铜离子浓度在5×10-6~100×10-6mol·L-1范围内与该荧光探针的荧光猝灭强度呈良好的线性关系。该方法不仅可以对铜离子检测,更实现了对碳点的固载,该技术有望实现荧光探针的回收再利用。     

Natural Anionic Polymer Acts as Highly Efficient Trypsin Inhibitor Based on an Electrostatic Interaction Mechanism

Sodium alginate (SA), acting as a trypsin inhibitor by means of electrostatic interaction, is studied. The half‐maximal inhibitory concentration (IC₅₀ = 0.05 μg mL⁻¹) of this natural anionic polymer is about 400 times lower than that of commercial soybean trypsin inhibitor (STI). Unlike the Ca²⁺‐deprivation mechanisms, its inhibition may be attributed to preventing the trypsin active site (TAS) from accessing the macromolecular substrates instead of denaturing it. SA is an efficient, innocuous, and cost‐effective inhibitory excipient that can be conveniently used in many peptide and protein dosage formulations.

     

Influence of Polyglycerol Polyricinoleate and Biopolymers on Physical Properties and Encapsulation Efficiency of Water-in-Oil-in-Water Emulsions Containing Mango Seed Kernel Extract

The influence of polyglycerol polyricinoleate (PGPR) and biopolymers (gelatin and sodium alginate) on the stabilization of water-in-oil (W/O) emulsions was investigated to improve the encapsulation efficiency (EE) of water-in-oil-in-water (W/O/W) emulsions containing mango seed kernel extract (MSKE). The physical properties and EE of the emulsions were found to depend more strongly on PGPR than on biopolymers. High EE values of MSKE were obtained when W/O emulsions stabilized by 4–8 wt% PGPR were incorporated with 1–5 wt% gelatin, or by 6–8 wt% PGPR incorporated with 0.5–1.5 wt% sodium alginate in the inner aqueous phase.     

A pH-Sensitive Biopolymer-Based Superabsorbent Nanocomposite from Sodium Alginate and Attapulgite: Synthesis,Characterization, and Swelling Behaviors

Graft copolymerization reaction among sodium alginate (NaAlg), sodium acrylate (NaA), and nanoscale attapulgite (APT) was performed to fabricate a novel pH-sensitive NaAlg-g-PNaA/APT superabsorbent nanocomposite. FTIR spectra proved NaA monomers were grafted onto NaAlg backbone and APT participated in polymerization. FESEM, TEM, and TGA analyses revealed the better dispersion of APT fibrils in the matrix and the improved thermal stability. The swelling capacity and rate of the superabsorbent was clearly enhanced after introducing APT. The external salts and surfactants showed greater influence on the swelling behaviors. The nanocomposite exhibited reversible On-Off pH-sensitivity between pHs 2.0 and 7.4, and the intriguing pH-triggered deswelling behavior in various polyvinylperrodone (PVP) solutions was observed.     

Study of Complex Coacervation of Gelatin A and Sodium Alginate for Microencapsulation of Olive Oil

Complex coacervation of gelatin A and sodium alginate was carried out to obtain the maximum coacervate yield. Turbidity and coacervate yield (%) measurements were carried out to support the ratio of the two polymers and pH that produced maximum coacervation. The optimum ratio between gelatin A-sodium alginate and pH to form the maximum coacervate complex was found to be 3.5:1 and 3.5–3.8, respectively. Olive oil microencapsulation was carried out at the optimized ratio and pH. Microcapsules were crosslinked by using glutaraldehyde. Scanning electron microscopy studies confirmed the formation of free flowing spherical microcapsules of different sizes. The size of microcapsules increased with the increase in the concentration of the polymer. The encapsulation efficiency and the release rates of olive oil were dependent on the amount of crosslinker, oil loading and polymer concentration. Thermogravimetric study revealed improvement of thermal stability with crosslinking. Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy study showed that there was no significant interaction between olive oil and gelatin-alginate complex.
