Poly (l-aspartic acid-citric acid) green copolymers were developed using thermal polymerization of aspartic acid (ASP) and citric
acid (CA) followed by direct bulk melt condensation technique. Antibacterial properties of copolymer of aspartic acid based
were investigated as a function of citric acid content. This study is focused on the microorganism inhibition performance
of aspartic acid based copolymers. Results showed that inhibition properties increase with increasing citric acid content.
Characterization of obtained copolymers was carried out with the help of infrared absorption spectra (FTIR), x-ray diffraction
(XRD), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and thermo gravimetric analysis (TGA). The antibacterial activity of copolymers
against bacteria like E-coli, Bacillus and pseudomonas was investigated. The copolymers showed excellent antimicrobial activities
against three types of microorganisms. Overall studies indicated that the above copolymers possess a broad wound dressing
activity against above three types of bacteria and may be useful as antibacterial agents. 相似文献

2-Methylene-1,3,6-trioxocane (MTC) was polymerized via ring-opening in the presence of a radical initiator and the obtained
polyester was biodegradable. MTC could also copolymerize with various vinyl monomers such as styrene, vinyl acetate, methyl
vinyl ketone, N-vinyl-2-pyrrolidone, N-isopropyl acrylamide, and maleic anhydride. By copolymerizing MTC with these vinyl monomers in the presence of a radical
initiator, we could obtain various biodegradable polymers with ester group introduced into the backbone. In addition the obtained
copolymers exhibit certain functionalities such as photolysis, water-solubility, thermosensitivity, detergent builder, and
water-absorbability. 相似文献

Biodegradable copolymers of l-lactide(l-LA) and p-dioxanone(PDO) were synthesized in supercritical carbon dioxide (scCO2) with stannous octoate as the ring-opening catalyst and a fluorocarbon polymer surfactant as an stabilizer. Fine powderous
products were achieved when more than 90% (w/w) l-LA was fed. Scanning electron micrographic images and laser diffraction particle size analysis of the products showed the
mean diameter of particles greatly increased as the content of PDO increased. The obtained polymers had the number-average
molecular weights ranging from 15,000 to 26,000 g mol−1 (polydispersity index ranging from 1.3 to 2.1) according to the gel permeation chromatography measurements. The polymer structure
was characterized by NMR spectroscopy, indicating the formation of copolymers. Thermal properties of the obtained polymers
investigated using differential scanning calorimetry showed that the morphology of products was directly relevant to the crystallinity
of the copolymers. The polymerization of l-LA and PDO copolymers in scCO2 is also proposed as a novel production technique for high-purity, biodegradable polymers. 相似文献

Poly(aspartic acid-itaconic acid) copolymers (PAI) is a new scale inhibitor for water treatment. Thus, it is necessary to investigate its biodegradability. The biodegradability of PAI was investigated through CO2 evolution tests under different conditions based on determination of carbon dioxide production. The investigation results showed that the degradation rate of PAI on day 10 and day 28 were respectively 38.7 and 79.5%, indicating that PAI was one kind of easily biodegradable scale inhibitors. With the increase in the content of itaconic acid in copolymerization process, the biodegradability of PAI was significantly reduced. In addition, the high biodegradability might be attributed to the existence of C–N bone-structure and more –COO–. Finally, Cu2+ could decrease the degradation percentage and the enzyme inhibition effect of Cu2+ was not the linear effect, but the “low-dosage effect”. 相似文献

Synthesis and characterization of novel biodegradable, water soluble and optically active DL-malic acid (DMA) and citric acid
(CA) copolymers were studied for possible use as antibacterial agents. The copolymers were synthesized by direct bulk melt
condensation in the absence of a catalyst above 150 °C. Characterization of obtained copolymers was carried out with the help
of infrared absorption spectra, differential scanning calorimetry and thermo gravimetric analysis. The antibacterial activity
of copolymers against bacteria was investigated. The results obtained shows the above copolymers possess a broad wound dressing
activity against different types of bacteria and may be useful as antibacterial agents. 相似文献

In this paper we studied the synthesis of biodegradable optically active poly(ester-imide)s containing different amino acid
residues in the main chain. These pseudo-poly(amino acid)s were synthesized by polycondensation of N,N′-(pyromellitoyl)-bis-l-tyrosine dimethyl ester as a diphenolic monomer and two chiral trimellitic anhydride-derived diacid monomers containing s-valine and l-methionine. The direct polycondensation reaction of these diacids with aromatic diol was carried out in a system of tosyl
chloride (TsCl), pyridine (Py) and N,N′-dimethylformamide (DMF) as a condensing agent. The structures and morphology of these polymers were studied by FT-IR, 1H-NMR, powder X-ray diffraction, field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), specific rotation, elemental and thermogravimetric
analysis (TGA) techniques. TGA profiles indicate that the resulting PEIs have a good thermal stability. Morphology probes
showed these polymers were noncrystalline and nanostructured polymers. The monomers and prepared polymers were buried under
the soil to study the sensitivity of the monomers and the obtained polymers to microbial degradation. The high microbial population
and prominent dehydrogenase activity in the soil containing polymers showed that the synthesized polymers are biologically
active and microbiologically biodegradable. Wheat seedling growth in the soil buried with synthetic polymers not only confirmed
non-toxicity of polymers but also showed possibility of phyto-remediation in polymer-contaminated soils. 相似文献

2-Methylene-1,3-dioxepane (MDP) was copolymerized with ethylene (E) at a pressure of approximately 1000 psi and a temperature of approximately 70°C with AIBN as the free radical initiator. The copolymers obtained, poly(MDP-co-E), were characterized by elemental analysis, IR, 1H-NMR and 13C-NMR spectroscopy, DSC, and GPC. The copolymers contained 2–15 mol% ester units. MDP was also copolymerized with styrene (S) at 120°C with di-t-butyl peroxide as the initiator to prepare the copolymer, poly(MDP-co-S). The number-average molecular weights of both types of copolymers were in the range of 6000 to 11,000, and the weight-average molecular weights were in the range of 9000 to 17,000. The melting temperatures of poly(MDP-co-E) decreased with increasing ester unit content in the copolymer. For the MDP-S copolymers, the glass transition temperatures decreased with increasing ester unit content. Both poly(MDP-co-E) and poly(MDP-co-S) were degraded by methanolysis, and their molecular weights decreased by the expected amounts based on the ester unit content. 相似文献

There is a wide range of applications where calcium phosphate and hydroxyapatite (HA) are used as biomaterials, e.g. as synthetic
bone grafts, coating on metal prostheses (like hip endoprostheses or dental implants) and drug carriers. In the study, the
design and synthesis of composites based on poly(vinyl alcohol-co-lactic acid)/hydroxyapatite (PVA-co-LA/HA) with potential
for biomedical applications, they are presented. The hydroxyapatite particles were surface-grafted with l(+)-lactic acid in the presence of manganese acetate as catalyst, resulting in modified hydroxyapatite (HAm) with improved capacity of bonding, respectively for the preparation of the composite based on PVA-co-LA/HAm. FT-IR spectra further confirmed the existence of PLA polymer on the surface of HA particles. In synthesis of PVA-co-LA copolymer
the different molar ratios PVA/LA (2/1, 1/1, 1/2), toluene/water: 1/2 (as azeotrope solvent mixture) and manganese acetate
as catalyst, were used. The composite materials were synthesized in situ with 10 wt% HA, and respectively HAm (reported to PVA and lactic acid components). The composite materials were characterized by FTIR spectroscopy, thermal analyses
(DSC, DTG), 1H-NMR spectroscopy, particle size distribution and zeta potential. 相似文献

Ionic liquids (ILs) have been accepted as ‘green’ alternatives to the organic solvents in a range of synthesis, catalysis
and electrochemistry, because of their distinctive chemical and physical properties. In this investigation, N,N′-(pyromellitoyl)-bis-l-tyrosine dimethyl ester as a chiral bioactive diphenolic monomer was prepared in three steps. The polycondensation of this
monomer with various aromatic and aliphatic diisocyanates such as 4,4′-methylene-bis-(4-phenylisocyanate) (6a), toluylene-2,4-diisocyanate (6b), isophorone diisocyanate (6c) and hexamethylene diisocyanate (6d) were carried out in the presence of tetrabutylammonium bromide as a molten IL under microwave irradiation conditions and
was compared with polymerization in traditional solvent like N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone. The results show that IL efficiently absorbs microwave energy, thus leading to a very high heating
rate. Thus IL method is safe and green since toxic and volatile organic solvents were eliminated. All of the novel poly(urethane-imides)
(PUIs) showed good solubility in various organic solvents. The obtained new polymers were characterized with FT-IR, 1H-NMR, elemental and thermogravimetric analysis techniques. Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) of two representative PUIs demonstrated
that they are rather thermally stable. In vitro toxicity studies showed that the synthetic materials are biologically active
and they are nontoxic to microbial growth then could be classified as bioactive and biodegradable compounds. 相似文献

An extracellular poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) (PHB) depolymerase was purified fromAureobacterium saperdae cultural medium by using hydrophobic interaction chromatography. The isolated enzyme was composed of a single polypeptide
chain with a molecular mass of 42.7 kDa as determined by SDS-PAGE and by native gel filtration on TSK-HW-55S. The enzyme was
not a glycoprotein. Its optimum activity occurred at pH 8.0 and it showed a broad pH stability, ranging from pH 3 to pH 11.N-Bromosuccinamide and 2-hydroxy-5-nitrobenzyl bromide completely inactivated the enzyme, suggesting the involvement of tryptophan
residues at the active site of the protein. The enzyme was very sensitive to diisopropyl fluorophosphate and diazo-dl-norleucine methyl ester, showing the importance of serine and carboxyl groups. The modification of cysteine residues byp-hydroxy mercuricbenzoate did not cause a loss of activity, whereas dithiothreitol rapidly inactivated the enzyme, revealing
the presence of disulfide bonds.A saperdae depolymerase acted on the surface layer of PHB films and the degradation proceeded by surface erosion releasing monomers
and dimers of 3-hydroxybutric acid. The degradation of PHB films byA. saperdae depolymerase was partially inhibited in the presence of excess amounts of enzyme. This phenomenon, already observed by Mukaiet al. with poly(hydroxyalkanoates) depolymerases fromAlcaligenes faecalis, Pseudomonas pickettii, andComamonas testosteroni, was analyzed according to the kinetic model proposed by these authors. The experimental data evidenced a general agreement
with the kinetic model, although higher initial degradation rates were found withA. saperdae depolymerase. 相似文献

A new aliphatic block copolyester was synthesized in bulk from transesterification techniques between poly((R)-3-hydroxybutyrate)
(PHB) and poly(isosorbide succinate) (PIS). Additionally, other two block copolyesters were synthesized in bulk either from
transesterification reactions involving PHB and poly(l-lactide) (PLLA) or from ring-opening copolymerization of l-lactide and hydroxyl-terminated PHB, as result of a previous transesterification reactions with isosorbide. Two-component
blends of PHB and PIS or PLLA were also prepared as comparative systems. SEC, MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOFMS), 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy, WAXD, solubility tests, and TG thermal analysis were used for characterization. The block copolymer structures
of the products were evidenced by MALDI-TOFMS, 13C NMR, and WAXD data. The block copolymers and the corresponding binary blends presented different solubility properties,
as revealed by solubility tests. Although the incorporation of PIS sequences into PHB main backbone did not enhance the thermal
stability of the product, it reduced its crystallinity, which could be advantageous for faster biodegradation rate. These
products, composed of PHB and PIS or PLLA sequences, are an interesting alternative in biomedical applications. 相似文献

Biodegradation of thermally synthesized polyaspartate 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4

Polyaspartate synthesized using thermal methods (thermal polyaspartate; TPA) has been shown to have dispersant and crystallization inhibition activities. These activities suggest that the polymer may be used in water treatment and paper processing and as a detergent and paint additive. The commercial potential for TPA is enhanced by the fact that it may be synthesized on a large scale. Therefore, a study of the biodegradation of the polymer was undertaken. TPA was produced by hydrolysis of a polysuccinimide synthesized by dry thermal polymerization of aspartic acid. The resulting polymer was a poly(,-dl-aspartate) having a 70% structure and containing a racemic mixture of aspartic acid. TPA was incubated with both dilute effluent and activated sludge from a wastewater treatment plant. Low-biomass effluent experiments showed changes in molecular size of TPA concomitant with oxygen demand induced by the polymer, suggesting susceptibility of TPA to at least partial biodegradation. Low-biomass sludge experiments (SCAS, modified Sturm) yielded approximately 70% mineralization of 20 mg L–1 TPA by 28 days, suggesting that a significant portion of the polymer was labile. High-biomass sludge experiments using14C-TPA at 1 mg L–1 revealed approximately 30% mineralization and 95% total removal of TPA carbon from solution in 23 days, with most of the mineralization and removal taking place in less than 5 days. Additional short-term studies using a variety of particulate substrates, including activated sludge, confirmed that TPA is subject to removal from solution by adsorption. From these studies with labeled TPA, it was concluded that TPA is subject to rapid removal and at least partial degradation in a wastewaster treatment plant. Using gel and thin-layer chromatography, it was determined that at least part of the unmineralized residue from the high biomass assays was polyaspartate. It is speculated that the unusual structure of TPA compared to natural proteins may limit the rate of proteolysis of the polymer and thus its overall degradation rate. 相似文献

Biodegradable polyesters were synthesized by ring-opening copolymerization of -butyrolactone (BL) and its derivatives withl-lactide (LLA). Although tetraphenyl tin was the main catalyst used, other organometallic catalysts were used as well.1H and13C NMR spectra showed that poly(BL-co-LLA)s were statistical and that their number-average molecular weights were as high as 7×104. The maximum BL content obtained from copolymerization BL/LLA was around 17%. TheT
m andT
g values of the copolymers showed a gradual depression with an increase in BL content. NoT
m was obtained for the copolymers containing more than 13 mol% BL. The biodegradability of the copolyesters was evaluated by enzymatic hydrolysis and nonenzymatic hydrolysis tests. The enzymatic hydrolysis was carried out at 37°C for 24 h using lipases fromRhizopus arrhizus andR. delemar. Hydrolyses by both lipases showed that an increase in BL content of the copolymer resulted in enhanced biodegradability. Nonenzymatic accelerated hydrolysis of copolymers at 70°C was found to increase proportionally to their exposure time. The hydrolysis rate of these copolymers was considerably faster than that of PLLA. The higher hydrolyzability was recorded for the BL-rich copolymers. The copolymerization of -methyl--butyrolactone (MBL) or -ethyl--butyrolactone (EBL) with LLA resulted in relatively LA-rich copolymers. 相似文献

Modified natural polymers have been gaining increasing scientific interest for many years. In this study carboxymethyl starch (CMS) was grafted with L(+)-lactic acid (LA) in different molar ratios CMS/LA (1/36, 1/22 and 1/12), resulting carboxymethyl starch-g-poly(lactic acid) (CMS-g-PLA) copolymers. The grafting reaction was carried out by solution polycondensation procedure in toluene and stannous 2-ethyl hexanoate Sn(Oct)2 as catalyst was utilized. Poly(lactic acid) (PLA) was synthesized in the same conditions with the copolymers for comparative analyses of the physico-chemical and thermal properties. The copolymers and PLA were structurally and morphologically characterized by FT-IR, 1H-NMR spectroscopy, WAXD and SEM analyses, taking CMS as reference. The molecular weight of the copolymers, CMS and PLA were determined, using a dynamic light scattering technique. The thermal behavior of the products was studied by DSC and TG-DTG analyses. The CMS-g-PLA graft copolymers exhibited lower Tg and thermal stability than pure CMS. 相似文献

Water-soluble synthetic polymers are extensively used in cosmetics, detergents and paints. Many end up in wastewater and,
later on, in wastewater-treatment plants. In order to gain an insight into their fate in such plants, fluorescence and radioactivity
labelings were compared using a lab-scale reactor designed to mimic industrial conditions. Two fermentation media were considered,
namely a mixture of E402 and E204 micro-organisms and an activated sludge collected from a water-treatment plant located in
the south of France. A sample of low molar mass commercial poly(acrylic acid) (PAA) was labeled by radioactivity with tritium
and by coupling the 6-aminofluorescein fluorescent dye. Labeled PAA-containing sludges were allowed to ferment. To monitor
the fate of the polymers, aliquots of the fermented mixtures were withdrawn at selected times and centrifuged. Liquid and
solid phases were analyzed by scintigraphy or UV spectrometry, depending of the labeling techniques. Both techniques led to
similar distributions, c.a. 75% in the supernatant and 25% in the solid phase. Distributions remained constant during the
biological tests. There was no degradation of the commercial PAA after aqueous size exclusion chromatography (SEC), in agreement
with literature. These features showed that fluorescence-labeling can be used instead of the complex and expensive radiolabeling.
The validated fluorescence-based method was then applied to a linear poly(acrylic acid) synthesized by ATRP and labeled with
6-aminofluorescein. There was no significant difference between the commercial and the linear poly(acrylic acid)s. In contrast,
a linear PAA with 5% of tert-butyl ester repeating units was predominantly found in the solid phase although adsorption or absorption by micro-organisms
could not be demonstrated. The method based on fluorescence labeling should be applicable to other water soluble polymers
provided that the dye remains attached to the polymer as it was the case for the studied poly(acrylic acid)s. 相似文献

In poultry industry chicken feathers are normally hydrolyzed and used to prepare animal feed. In this work the use of this material to prepare films was investigated. Keratins were extracted from chicken feathers with 2-mercaptoethanol in concentrated urea solution using sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS). The effect of varying the amount of sorbitol on properties of chicken feather keratin (CFK) was investigated. As the concentration of plasticizer increased, the moisture content (MC) of these films increase, the monolayer MC increased from 0.060 (without plasticizer) to 0.482 g water/g dry matter (0.30 g sorbitol/g keratin). The water vapor permeability (WVP) varied between 0.096 g/m s Pa and 8.098 g/m s Pa for films without sorbitol and with 0.30 g sorbitol/g keratin, respectively. Film strength decreased from 5.13 MPa to 0.45 MPa and the elongation at break achieved the maximum value of 52.75% for samples with 0.02 g sorbitol/g keratin. The dry matter density didn’t change significantly, varying between 0.86–0.89 g/cm3 for all samples. Films with potential applications in food packaging can be obtained from CFKs. However, further researches are necessary to decrease film solubility and increase mechanical resistance. 相似文献

The development of wood treatments is of increasing industrial importance. A novel technique for improving the properties of lodgepole pine and white pine through modification of the microstructure is described. The present investigation is devoted to the synthesis and determination of in situ parameters of citric acid and glycerol based polymers for wood impregnation. This solvent free approach is environmentally friendly and achieved through an esterification condensation reaction under acidic conditions. Crude glycerol and citric acid reactants were cross-linked via a curing process at 160?°C creating a polymer with only water as the byproduct. The ester bonds and crosslinking levels were controlled using different catalysts and citric acid contents and related to the reaction time and temperature. The nature of bonding within the polymers and at the wood cell walls was determined by FT-IR analysis. The thermal properties such as glass transition temperature (Tg) were studied using TGA/DSC and the effect of citric acid content and catalyst type determined. Dimensional stability of impregnated wood samples improved above 50% for each sample with HCl and p-TSA catalysts compared to control samples. FTIR spectra were studied to show the presence of the ester linkages of the polymer in situ at the wood cell walls. Bonding between the polymer and wood macromolecules were observed by scanning electron microscopy and interpreted as evidence of chemical bonds at the wood cells. When prepared using a catalyst, the polymer was intimately incorporated into wood structure significantly improving the substrate dimensional stability. Enhanced stability makes this approach of particular interest for exterior wood products especially as a green renewable option for the wood industry. 相似文献

The synthesis and characterization of poly(lactic acid)-co-aspartic acid copolymers (PLA-co-Asp) were presented. Subsequently, the synthesized PLA-co-Asp copolymers were tested as biodegradable carriers in drug delivery systems. PLA-co-Asp copolymers were synthesized by solution polycondensation procedure, using different molar ratios PLA/l-aspartic acid (2.33/1, 1/1, 1/2.33), manganese acetate and phosphoric acid as catalysts and N,N′-dimethyl formamide (DMF)/toluene as solvent mixture. The copolymers were characterized by FT-IR and 1H-NMR spectroscopy, gel permeation chromatography (GPC), DSC and TG-DTG analyses. Diclofenac sodium, a non steroidal anti-inflammatory drug was subsequently loaded into PLA-co-Asp copolymers. The in vitro drug release experiments were done by dialysis of the copolymer/drug systems, in phosphate buffer solution (pH = 7.4, at 37 °C) and monitored by UV spectroscopy. 相似文献

The evaluation method of biomass carbon ratio of polymer composite samples including organic and inorganic carbons individually
was investigated. Biodegradable plastics and biobased plastics can have their mechanical properties improved by combining
with inorganic fillers. Polymer composites consisting of biodegradable plastics and carbonate were prepared by two different
methods. Poly(lactic acid) (PLA) composite was prepared by synthesis from l-lactide with catalyst and calcium carbonate (CaCO3) powders from lime. Poly(butylene succinate) (PBS) composite was prepared by hot-pressing the mixture of PBS powder and CaCO3 powders from oyster shells. The mechanical properties of composite samples were investigated by a tensile test and a compression
test using an Instron type mechanical tester. Tensile test with a dumbbell shape specimen was performed for PBS composite
samples and compression test with a column shape specimen for PLA composite samples. Strength, elastic modulus and fracture
strain were obtained from the above tests. Biomass carbon ratio is regulated in the American Standards for Testing and Materials
(ASTM). In ASTM standards on biomass carbon ratio, it is required that carbon atoms from carbonates, such as CaCO3, are omitted. Biomass carbon ratio was evaluated by ratio of 14C to 12C in the samples using Accelerator Mass Spectrometry (AMS). The effect of pretreatment, such as oxidation temperature and
reaction by acid, on results of biomass carbon ratio was investigated. Mechanical properties decrease with increasing CaCO3 content. The possibility of an evaluation method of biomass carbon ratio of materials including organic and inorganic carbons
was shown. 相似文献
