Abstract An iterative computer method was proposed for estimating the degree of branching and molecular weight distribution simultaneously from a pair of measurements on intrinsic viscosity and gel-permeation chromatography. The validity of the method as applied to randomly branched polymers was tested by using both fractionated and unfractionated samples of branched polystyrenes. It was experimentally concluded that the average number of branch points per unit molecular weight, λ, can be determined by this method with an accuracy of about 15%, and the weight-average molecular weight with accuracy of about 10%.

A phenolic copolymer was synthesized from resorcinol (RSC) and 3,5-dihydroxy benzoic acid (DBA) using horseradish peroxidase (HRP)/H2O2 as the radical copolymerization’s initiateor. It was discussed that the effects of monomer composition on the properties of the copolymer. The best molar ratio was 1:1. The structure and properties of the copolymer was characterized by Fourier Transform Infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (HNMR), Molecular weight (MW) was determined by gel permeation chromatography (GPC). The result shows that the average molecular weight of the copolymer is about 40000. The effect of dosage of HRP on the properties of the copolymer was investigated. And the mechanism of polymerization of RSC and DBA was advanced. The copolymer was used as tanning agent, applied results show that it has excellent retanning properties. It was realized the applicatiom of HRP on the phenols syntan.

Starting from a chitosan sample with a degree of deacetylation of 71%, three separate sample sets were generated by successive deacetylation and reacetylation processes. The degree of deacetylation of samples was determined by UV spectrometry supported by thermogravimetric analysis. The molecular weight of chitosan samples was determined in a solvent system of 0.25 M CH3COOH/0.25 M CH3COONa, using viscometry and gel permeation chromatography (GPC) with a TSK-gel column. The first set of samples had a similar degree of deacetylation (DDA) but differing molecular weights. The second set of samples had a similar molecular weight but differing degrees of deacetylation. The Mark-Houwink-Sakurada constants used for the determination of viscosity average molecular weight and the universal calibration of the GPC system were K = 1.40 × 10-4 dL/g and a = 0.83. Results showed that molecular weights determined from both techniques are in good accord only at lower degrees of deacetylation. This may be attributed to the fact that the chemical structure of chitosan samples could have been largely altered with increasing or decreasing degree of deacetylation. Nevertheless, the trend with which the molecular weights vary with the deacetylation time is consistent over a limited DDA range. A literature review of molecular weight analysis of chitosan is included.Key words: chitosan, degree of deacetylation, gel permeation chromatography, molecular weight, viscometry.

The copolymer of phenol and acrylamide was synthesized by copolymerization using horseradish peroxidase (HRP)/H2O2 as catalyst. The effect of monomer composition on the copolymer tanning agent properties was investigated. The structure of the copolymer was characterized by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. The molecular weight was determined by gel permeation chromatography (GPC). The result shows that the average molecular weight of the copolymer is about 1900. Its molecule distribution index is much narrower. The copolymer was used as tanning agent, the result shows that the applied leather is excellent in softness and dyeing.

Six fractional polysaccharides were prepared by water extraction and alcohol precipitation under controlled temperature from bletillae rhizoma, a traditional Chinese medicine. Based on this, yields of bletillae rhizome polysaccharides (RBPs) were obtained. The extracting temperature impacted the characteristics of the fractional polysaccharides. The fractional polysaccharides were characterized by glucomannan (GM) content, thermal stability, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, gel permeation chromatography (GPC), and x-ray diffraction (XRD). For the analysis, 2.0% w/v dispersions of the six fractional polysaccharides were prepared and their flow behaviors were evaluated using a rotational rheometer. The results showed that increased extraction temperature led to increased GM extraction yields and extraction rate, but GM content was relative stable (over 90%). The average molecular weight (Mw) of fractional polysaccharides obtained at 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, and 80 °C was 3.598 × 104, 4.188 × 104, 8.632 × 104, 8.850 × 104, 2.372 × 105, and 3.081 × 105 g/mol, respectively. SEM revealed that fractional polysaccharides had a porous structure of different sizes and densities. Thermal analysis, FTIR, and XRD results indicated that extraction temperature affects the structure and moisture content of fractional polysaccharides. All results showed that the extraction temperature has an obvious impact on the morphology, molecular weight, and polydispersity of the RBPs. This simple process is a promising method for the preparation of fractional polysaccharides.

The aging of modified asphalt includes modifier and asphalt aging. Combining with the changes of macroscopic properties index for modified asphalt before and after aging, aging mechanism of modified asphalt was studied by gel permeation chromatography(GPC) and grey relevant methods. And the results indicated that changes in content, molecular weight and dispersion degree of asphalt before and after aging are the most significant factors influencing macroscopic properties of modified asphalt. Asphalt content is the most significant factor influencing penetration, toughness and tenacity, ductility(5 °C) and quality; Weight average molecular weight of asphalt is the most significant factor influencing viscosity(135°C); Dispersion degree of asphalt is the most significant factor influencing elastic recovery. Conclusion provides the test basis for the evaluation of anti-aging properties of modified asphalt.
