Synthesis and characterization of novel stimuli-responsive hydrogels based on starch and L-aspartic acid
摘要:
Starch is a hydrophilic biopolymer that is desirable in synthesizing new hydrogels. L-Aspartic acid is a multifunctional amino acid that can be used to modify starch in order to introduce new functional groups on its chains. In this research, a series of novel natural hydrogels based on starch and L-aspartic acid have been synthesized. These hydrogels exhibited temperature-responsive swelling behavior, pH sensitivity and superabsorbency properties. They were characterized by Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR), Infra-Red Spectroscopy (IR), and X-ray Diffraction (XRD). The thermal properties of the hydrogels were evaluated using Thermo-Gravimetric Analysis (TGA) and Differential Scanning Calorimetery (DSC). Swelling studies were carried out at various temperatures and pHs. All of the hydrogels exhibited a high swelling ratio; in aqueous media, this value was greater at higher pH than at lower pH. These properties introduce a novel carrier having applications in delivery systems. (C) 2013 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

A substrate comprising a crosslinked polymer primer layer, and grafted thereto a ligand-functionalized polymer is provided. The grafted polymer has the requisite affinity for binding neutral or negatively charged biomaterials, such as cells, cell debris, bacteria, spores, viruses, nucleic acids, and proteins, at pH's near or below the pI's of the biomaterials.
Pressure-sensitive adhesives are prepared by the simultaneous polymerization of minor amounts of at least one alkenyl azlactone monomer and at least one arylic-functional carboxylic acid monomer, or precursors thereof, with a major amount of at least one acrylic monomer. The pressure-sensitive adhesives, after application to a substrate, will significantly increase in adhesion to the resultant bonded substrate after they are in the bonded configuration.
