Thermal transitions, relaxations and the crosslinking reaction in varnishes and pigmented paints based on carboxylated polyester and β-hydroxyalkylamide (Primid) were studied by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), temperature modulated DSC (TMDSC), thermogravimetry (TGA) and dielectric analysis (DEA). The effect of the Primid content on the glass transition of the powder coatings before and after crosslinking was analysed. The melting and flow regions were studied by TMDSC and correlated with the loss factor, which was measured by DEA. A comparison of the DSC and TGA scans showed that the crosslinking reaction was masked by the vaporisation of water formed during esterification. The resulting endothermic reaction made it difficult to analyse the crosslinking by DSC. Nevertheless, it was possible to detect the crosslinking reaction by the dielectric measurement of the loss factor and the conductivity. 相似文献
Mechanical melting temperatures of gelatin gels determined by the ball-drop method are decreased by several degrees if 0.5m potassium thiocyanate aqueous solution is used as solvent instead of pure water. In agreement with that, the growth with time of the viscosity of dilute gelatin solutions occurs at lower temperatures in 0.5m potassium thiocyanate. Surprisingly enough, the reduced specific viscosity after five hours at 5° C is lower in pure water. This is because the temperature dependence of this quantity in water is not monotonic, and the temperature 5° C is below that at which a distinct maximum is reached. No similar maximum has been reported so far for the temperature and time dependences of the extent of renaturation determined by optical techniques. The difference between the results of these two methods could be ascribed to the fact that the viscosity of solutions of partially renaturated gelatin is given not only by the fraction of monomer units in the helical conformation but also by the average length of created helices. 相似文献
The reaction of gelatin with tannic acid using microwave heating with simultaneous cooling (MHSC) in comparison with water bath heating was investigated to get some hints on the non-thermal effect of microwave. MHSC showed a better ability to accelerate the reaction rate. It also increased the turbidity, crosslinking degree, and viscosity of the crosslinked gelatin by 91 FTU, 6.8%, and 0.08 respectively, indicating that microwave could improve the properties of the product. Moreover, sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis patterns reflected that the crosslinked gelatin (MHSC) had a higher molecular weight as the gray levels decreased by 9.2% (235–245?kDa), 2.3% (135–145?kDa), and 9.3% (122–132?kDa). More homogeneous aggregations were identified at the crosslinked gelatin by atomic force microscopy. These results proved that microwave has a non-thermal effect in the gelatin crosslinking process, accelerating the crosslinking reaction, and improving the performance of the gelatin product, which may have a good use in industry. 相似文献
The utilization of waste from fish processing industry for production of value added products has attracted substantial attention. Tiger-toothed croaker (Otolithes ruber) and Pink perch (Nemipterus japonicus) are used for surimi production and have the potential of abundant supply of raw skins and bones. In order to evaluate the waste from Tiger-toothed croaker and Pink perch as a source of gelatin, the gelatin was extracted from skin and bones and its rheological and functional properties were examined. The skins of Tiger-toothed croaker and Pink perch yielded 7.56% and 5.57% gelatin, whereas their bones yielded 4.57% and 3.55% respectively indicating skin as an important source for gelatin production. The gel strength of gelatins from the skins and bones of Tiger-toothed croaker (170 g and 140 g respectively) were found higher than Pink perch skin and bone gelatins (150 g and 130 g respectively). Similarly, the viscosity, melting point, emulsifying capacity and stability, foaming capacity and stability, and water holding capacity of gelatin extracted from Tiger-toothed croaker were in general greater than those of the gelatin from Pink perch and the values of skin gelatin were higher compared to bone gelatin in both the species. Hydroxyproline contents in skin and bone of Tiger-toothed croaker were 7.77 and 7.51 mg/g and in Pink perch they were 7.63 and 7.41 mg/g respectively. It can be concluded from the present study that Tiger-toothed croaker skin is a prospective source to produce gelatin in good yield with desirable functional properties comparable to commercially available mammalian gelatins. 相似文献
Biodegradable laminates based on gelatin and on gelatin/starch blend reinforced with fabrics (silk or linen) were prepared by melt pressing. Due to crosslinking during the thermal treatment and in some cases, to additional crosslinking with methylenedi(p‐phenyl) diisocyanate, the fresh and artificially aged samples demonstrated improved mechanical properties, as reported previously. In Part 1 of this study on the environmental behavior of these new laminated composites, the simple dissolution in a buffer solution or water of fresh and artificially aged samples was considered. During this treatment soluble, i.e., uncrosslinked molecules were removed leaving a product resulting from addition reactions and consequent crosslinking. These processes take place during the melt pressing at 180 °C and cause a decreased solubility of gelatin. The present Part 2 deals with the enzymatic treatment of the same samples. We have implicitly shown that the gelatin moiety of the laminates undergoes proteolysis and that this process depends on the laminate composition. At the end of the treatment the enzymatic buffer solution contains only peptides and virtually no high‐molecular gelatin. The degrees of degradation vs. time dependencies differ for water and enzymatic treatment of the samples, indicating different processes in either treatment. The time‐course curves of the enzymatic treatment of different laminates and the kinetic parameters derived therefrom were analyzed. Thereby the effect of many factors on the accessibility of the gelatin moiety to proteolysis was shown. These factors are: temperature treatment, artificial ageing, the nature of the reinforcing fabrics, the “additional” crosslinking with methylenedi(p‐phenyl) diisocyanate, etc. The gelatin‐linen laminate is the most sensitive to crosslinking. There is a tendency that the crosslinking smears the differences in the time‐course of the absorption behavior curves of the different samples.
Degree of degradation, β′, (related to only the gelatin) vs. time, t, for laminates: (a) uncrosslinked gelatin‐linen; (b) crosslinked gelatin‐linen; (c) uncrosslinked gelatin‐silk; (d) crosslinked gelatin‐silk. 相似文献
Gelatin was extracted from the skins of Alaska pollock (Theragra chalcogramma) and Alaska pink salmon (Oncorhynchus gorbuscha). Amino acid analysis and gel electrophoresis were used to determine their amino acid composition and molecular weight profiles, respectively. Dynamic rheology was also used to characterize the fish gelatins’ gelation and melting behavior as well as their cross-linking behavior upon adding genipin and glutaraldehyde. Pollock and salmon gelatin had lower gelation and melting temperatures than that of a commercial porcine gelatin. Both fish gelatins that contained genipin showed faster cross-linking rates for samples with higher pH values. However, salmon samples exhibited greater dependence on pH. Also, pollock gelatin cross-linked faster with glutaraldehyde than with genipin. After five days of cross-linking, all porcine samples had much greater gel strengths than pollock samples. In addition, porcine samples containing genipin had gel strengths several times greater than those containing glutaraldehyde. 相似文献
