New biodegradable hydrogels based on a photocrosslinkable modified polyaspartamide: synthesis and characterization
1999
Abstract α,β-Poly( N -2-hydroxyethyl)- dl -aspartamide (PHEA), a synthetic water-soluble biocompatible polymer, was derivatized with glycidyl methacrylate (GMA), in order to introduce in its structure chemical residues having double bonds and ester groups. The obtained copolymer (PHG) contained 29 mol% of GMA residues. PHG aqueous solutions at various concentrations ranging from 30 to 70 mg/ml were exposed to a source of UV rays at λ 254 nm in the presence or in the absence of N , N ′-methylenebisacrylamide (BIS); the formation of compact gel phases was observed beginning from 50 mg/ml. The obtained networks were characterized by FT-IR spectrophotometry and swelling measurements which evide…
Biodegradable hydrogels obtained by photocrosslinking of dextran and polyaspartamide derivatives
2003
The functionalization of dextran with glycidyl methacrylate (GMA) leads to the formation of a derivative that generates hydrogels for irradiation at 365nm. The effects of various polymer concentrations and irradiation times on the yield and the properties of the obtained hydrogels are reported. The networks have been characterized by FT-IR spectra, dimensional analysis and swelling measurements carried out at different pH values. In vitro studies suggest that all samples undergo a partial chemical hydrolysis, whereas the incubation with dextranases causes a total degradation whose rate depends on the degree of crosslinking. In addition, aqueous solutions of functionalized dextran have been …
New Photosensitive Polymers: Synthesis and Free Radical Polymerization of Oxypyridinium and Oxyisoquinolinium Functionalized Methacrylate and Styren…
2002
Polymerizable hydroxypyridinium and hydroxyisoquinolinium salts 1a−4a, 2d, and 3d have been prepared from vinylbenzyl chloride or glycidyl methacrylate and 3-hydroxypyridine (2), 4- or 5-hydroxyisoquinoline (1, 3), and 8-hydroxyquinoline (4). Radical homo- and copolymerization with styrene or methyl methacrylate of the salts 1a−3a, 2d, and 3d produced (co)polymers 1e, 2e, 2f, 3f, 1g, 2g, 2h, and 3h. The photosensitive dipolar oxypyridinium or oxyisochinolinium betaine structures were generated in solutions with triethylamine from the low molecular weight and polymeric salt precursors. For the model compounds 1b−4b and (co)polymers 1e, 2e, 2f, 3f, 1g, 2g, 2h, and 3h, the degradation of the l…
Extraction of β-blockers from urine with a polymeric monolith modified with 1-allyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride in spin column format
2020
Abstract A glycidyl methacrylate-based monolith was modified with imidazolium-based ionic liquid (IL) to be used as stationary phase for solid-phase extraction (SPE). The host monolithic support was prepared by in-situ UV polymerization in spin column format. Two approaches were developed to incorporate the IL into the polymeric monolithic matrix: generation of IL onto the surface monolith, and copolymerization by addition of the IL to the polymerization mixture, which gave the best results. The resulting sorbent materials were morphologically characterized and used for the isolation of five β-blockers from human urine samples. All SPE steps were accomplished by centrifugation, which reduce…
Green Design of Novel Starch-Based Packaging Materials Sustaining Human and Environmental Health
2021
A critical overview of current approaches to the development of starch-containing packaging, integrating the principles of green chemistry (GC), green technology (GT) and green nanotechnology (GN) with those of green packaging (GP) to produce materials important for both us and the planet is given. First, as a relationship between GP and GC, the benefits of natural bioactive compounds are analyzed and the state-of-the-art is updated in terms of the starch packaging incorporating green chemicals that normally help us to maintain health, are environmentally friendly and are obtained via GC. Newer approaches are identified, such as the incorporation of vitamins or minerals into films and coati…
New approach for synthesis of poly(ethylglyoxylate) using Maghnite-H + , an Algerian proton exchanged montmorillonite clay, as an eco-catalyst
2017
International audience; In this works, we have explored a new method for a green synthesis of poly(ethylglyoxylate) (PEtG). This method consists on using a montmorillonite clay called Maghnite-H+ as an eco-catalyst to replace triethylamine which is toxic. Cationic polymerization experiments are performed in bulk conditions at three temperatures (-40 degrees C, 25 degrees C, 80 degrees C) and in THF solutions at room temperature (25 degrees C). At 25 degrees C, an optimum ratio of 5 wt% of catalyst leads to molar masses up to 22000 g/mol in THF solutions. Polymerizations in bulk conditions lead to slightly lower masses than experiments conducted in THF solutions. However, bulk polymerization…
Undecylenic acid: A tunable bio-based synthon for materials applications
2016
International audience; An undecylenic acid-based monoglyceride prepared from glycidol and undecylenic acid is used as suitable and tunable synthon for polymerization applications. Epoxidation and acrylation reactions lead to photopolymerizable monomers while transesterification with dimethyl carbonate, metathesis and aminolysis reactions provide access to polyhydroxyurethane-based materials. The successive intermediates were synthesized according to a green chemistry approach implicating solvent-less and catalyzed reactions, and were at each step fully characterized by infrared, 1H and 13C{1H} NMR spectroscopy, elemental analysis and mass spectrometry. Analyses of the resulting polymer mat…
Der Einfluß des Raumbedarfs der Kristallite auf die Entropie teilkristalliner Hochpolymerer
1966
Es werden Gleichungen fur die Konformationsentropie der Kettenteile in den nichtkristallinen Bereichen abgeleitet, wobei auch die Volumenbegrenzung dieser Bereiche durch die Kristallite berucksichtigt wird. Hierzu mus ein dreidimensionales Irrflugproblem bei Anwesenheit von absorbierenden Wanden gelost werden. Es zeigt sich, das die Volumenbegrenzung die Entropie der Kettenteile in den nichtkristallinen Bereichen wesentlich vermindert. Im Anschlus an diese Berechnungen werden die Auswirkungen der untersuchten Entropieeffekte auf die Kristallkeimbildung und das Schmelzen diskutiert. Bei der Kristallkeimbildung haben die Entropieeffekte zur Folge, das ein Buschelkeim eine bedeutend grosere Ke…
Über Zusammenhänge zwischen der Röntgenkleinwinkelstreuung und der morphologischen Struktur verstreckter Hochpolymerer
1968
In der vorliegenden Arbeit wird uber Versuche berichtet, die Ergebnisse der Rontgenkleinwinkelstreuung an verstreckten Hochpolymeren mit Hilfe von elektronenmikroskopisch beobachtbaren Strukturen zu deuten. Geeignet behandelte elektronenmikroskopische Aufnahmen lassen sich als optische Gitter fur Lichtbeugungsversuche verwenden. Die daran erhaltenen Lichtbeugungsdiagramme zeigen eine Intensitatsverteilung, die mit der rontgenographisch gemessenen gut ubereinstimmt. Es lies sich zeigen, das die elektronenmikroskopisch an verschiedenen verstreckten Hochpolymeren (Polyathylen, Polyoxymethylen und Polyathylenterephthalat) gefundenen periodischen Querstrukturen nicht nur ihrem mittleren Abstand …
Umwandlungserscheinungen in amorphen Hochpolymeren beim tempern unterhalb der Glastemperatur
1968
Es wird die zeitliche Anderung der mechanischen Eigenschaften von amorphem PC, PET und PMMA beim isothermen Tempern unterhalb der Glastemperatur untersucht. Dabei ergab sich, das von der Glastemperatur abgeschrecktes Material beim Tempern ein stufenweises Ansteigen des Schubmoduls zeigt, das von einer Abnahme der Dampfung begleitet ist. Kurzzeitiges Uberschreiten der Glastemperatur mit nachfolgendem Abschrecken macht die durch das Tempern bewirkten Anderungen ruckgangig. Die Beobachtungen werden als Platzwechsel von Kettensegmenten im Sinne einer Ausbildung von lokal begrenzten Bereichen hoherer Dichte gedeutet, die sich beim Uberschreiten der Glastemperatur wieder auflosen.
