The primary hydroxyl groups of Starch Oxidized by nitric acid to the corresponding carboxylic acids has been investigated. The structure of the Oxidized-Starch(OS) was characterized by FT-IR, 1HNMR and GPC. The predicated product was obtained from the results. Its application in calcium complexing capacity has been discussed. The calcium complexing capacity of OS may up to 119.39 mg/g. The data confirmed that the starch oxidized by nitric acid had excellent capacity of calcium complexing.

Organophosphate (OP) compounds, a family of highly hazardous chemical compounds included in nerve agents and pesticides, have been linked to more than 250,000 annual deaths connected to various chronic diseases. However, a solid-state sensing system that is able to be integrated into a clothing system is rare in the literature. This study aims to develop a nanofiber-based solid-state polymeric material as a soft sensor to detect OP compounds present in the environment. Esters of polydiacetylene were synthesized and incorporated into a cellulose acetate nanocomposite fibrous assembly developed with an electrospinning technique, which was then hydrolyzed to generate more hydroxyl groups for OP binding. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), Instron® tensile tester, contact angle analyzer, and UV–Vis spectroscopy were employed for characterizations. Upon hydrolysis, polydiacetylene esters in the cellulosic fiber matrix were found unaffected by hydrolysis treatment, which made the composites suitable for OP sensing. Furthermore, the nanofibrous (NF) composites exhibited tensile properties suitable to be used as a textile material. Finally, the NF composites exhibited colorimetric sensing of OP, which is visible to the naked eye. This research is a landmark study toward the development of OP sensing in a protective clothing system.

Abstract Oxidized starch-graft-poly(styrene-butyl acrylate) [OS-g-P(St-BA)] latex was synthesized by the graft copolymerization of OS with St and n-butyl acrylate (BA) via emulsion polymerization. The graft copolymers were characterized by Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR), transmission electronic microscopy (TEM), dynamic light scattering, thermogravimetry (TG), and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The effects of the amount of OS, monomers, and initiator on graft copolymerization were investigated. Under the optimal conditions, the percentage of graft (PG), grafting efficiency (GE), and ζ potential could reach 256.5%, 41.7%, and -30.1 mV, respectively. The results indicated that the OS grafted onto particles greatly enhanced the colloidal stability of latex. The thermal stability properties of OS-g-P(St-BA) were also improved by the addition of OS. The OS-g-P(St-BA) latex may be used to partly replace the conventional synthetic latex for paper coating.

The biomineral-binding alendronate-chitosan conjugate (Scheme 1) was developed as a novel drug delivery system. Alendronate was conjugated to the hydroxyl groups of chitosan, thereby maintaining the amino groups of chitosan intact. By means of FT-IR and 1H NMR, the characterization was conducted to confirm the successful synthesis of alendronate-chitosan conjugate.

Synthesis and characterization of some new Schiff base ligands derived from various diamines and nitrosalicylaldehyde and their complexes of Ni(II) and Cu(II) are reported. Several spectral techniques such as UV-Vis, FT-IR, and NMR spectra were used to identify the chemical structures of the reported ligands and their complexes. The ligands are found to be bound to the metal atom through the oxygen atoms of the hydroxyl groups and nitrogen atoms of imine groups, which is also supported by spectroscopic techniques. The results obtained by FT-IR and NMR showed that the Schiff base complexes of transition metal (II) have square-planar geometry.

In this work, surface modification of silk fibroin was conducted by grafting dimethylaminoethyl methacrylate (DMAEMA) via ATRP to produce well controlled grafting silk. First, the amino groups and hydroxyl groups on the side chains of the silk fibroin reacted with 2-bromoisobutyryl bromide (BriB-Br) to obtain efficient initiator for ATRP. Subsequently, the functional silk fibroin was used as macroinitiator of DMAEMA in 1,2-dichlorobenzene in conjunction with CuBr/N,N,N',N",N" -pentamethyldiethylenetriamine (PMDETA) as a catalyst system. FT-IR characterization of the modified silk substrate showed a peak corresponding to DMAEMA indicating that the polymer had been formed on the silk surface. Following the polymerization, the tertiary amino groups on the grafted silk fibroin were quaternized to produce a large concentration of quaternary ammonium groups, which endowed the silk substrate with potential antibacterial surface. The graft chains were cleaved by acid hydrolysis and analyzed by gel permeation chromatography (GPC). The GPC results indicated that the graft layer were well-controlled.

Novel ladderlike polysilsesquioxanes containing polypropylene moieties (LPS-PP) were synthesized from LPS having chloromethylphenyl groups (LPS) and polypropylene having hydroxyl groups (PP-OH). LPS-PP was characterized by FT-IR, DSC, SEM, EDX, and TGA. The obtained LPS-PP shows no melting temperature due to the disappearance of melting temperature of PP, indicating the rigidity of Si-O-Si backbone in ladderlike LPS. The char yield of LPS-PP is higher than that of PP-OH because of the silica parts of LPS. This new LPS-PP can be an interesting candidate to fabricate hybrid materials using interactions or compatibility between PP moieties of LPS and various organic polymers.

AbstractA novel polydimethylsiloxane containing two primary hydroxyl groups at one single chain end was synthesized by five-step reactions which included esterification, hydroxyl protection, anionic ring-opening polymerization, hydrosilylation and deprotection. The prepared compounds in each step were characterized. The results showed that at each step synthesis was successfully carried out and objective products could be achieved.

The 1:1 condensation reaction between benzil and tris (hydroxymethyl) aminomethane in methanol yields a hetero bicyclic compound 5-(hydroxymethyl)-1,2-diphenyl-3,7-dioxa-8-aza-bicyclo [3.2.octan-2-ol. It was characterized by FT-IR, NMR (1H and 13C) spectroscopy and ESI mass spectrometry. The structure was conclusively determined by X-ray diffractrometric analysis. The structure shows a hetero bicyclic ring system. It consists of six membered morpholine and five membered oxazolidine rings with free hydroxyl groups. This bicyclic compound was used as a reducing and stabilizing agent to prepare zinc nanoparticles. The morphology and structure were characterized by field emission scanning electron microscope (FE-SEM), powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), and energy dispersive spectrum analysis (EDS).
