چکیده
Sugar-based hydrogels were prepared by non-selective modification of sucrose with the introduction of vinyl groups. Sucrose was reacted with glycidyl methacrylate (1:1 molar ratio) in DMSO and in the presence of 4-(N,N-dimethylamino)pyridine (4-DMAP) as catalyst. The structure of the product (SucMA) was established using H NMR, H DQF-COSY NMR and C NMR analysis. Gels were prepared by copolymerisation of hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA) and SucMA in a 70:30 ethylene glycol/water mixed solvent using ammonium persulphate/sodium methabisulphite pair as initiating system. The swelling behaviour of these gels was evaluated as a function of crosslinker content, copolymer composition, pH and ionic strength. In addition, the diffusional behaviour of sodium salycilate (SSA) from these gels and poly(HEMA) gels is also reported. q 2000 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.

A gelatinized cross-linked high amylose starch matrix with magnetic properties was synthesized via in situ formation of iron oxides inside the polymer matrix. Precipitation and multiple oxidation of ferrous ions were performed. The samples were observed using transmission and scanning electron microscopy, showing morphological changes in the magnetic and polymer phases. The iron content analysi...

A bacterial exopolysaccharide from Aphanothece halophytica GR02 (AH-EPS) solubilised in buffered 1 M guanidine hydrochloride, GuHCl was studied using capillary viscometry, double gap viscometry, sedimentation velocity and sedimentation equilibrium using analytical ultracentrifugation. Results from capillary viscometry indicate that the exopolysaccharide is xanthan-like in its shear thinning pro...

Crude cellulases, cellobiohydrolase I and endoglucanase I from Trichoderma reesei, were used for preliminary analysis of the potential of cellulases for oligosaccharide synthesis. The reaction products were analysed by ionic chromatography. Synthesis activity could be detected in concentrated aqueous solutions of glucose, cellobiose, maltose and raffinose. CBH I and EG I showed similar activity...

The classical Board±Hall model is re-examined and shown to imply that, contrary to the model's intention and widely-held interpretation, multiphase thermal detonations are not physically possible. A new key physical concept is introduced, and the results show the existence of supercritical detonations, even in lean (melt content) premixtures, in agreement with recent experimental evidence. This...

Previous work has shown strong interactions between pig gastric mucins and a highly deacetylated chitosan. Recently, mucins purified from different areas of the porcine stomach have been shown to differ in terms of their oligosaccharide substitution and net charge. How this regional variation may affect the properties of these mucins is of great interest in terms of the specificity of mucoadhes...
