Effects of malondialdehyde-induced protein oxidation on the structural characteristics of rice protein

Malondialdehyde (MDA) was selected to represent a secondary by-product of lipid peroxidation during rice ageing. This study aimed to investigate the effects of MDA modification on the structural characteristics of rice protein. The results showed that as MDA concentration increased, rice protein carbonyl and disulphide groups increased, but sulphydryl content decreased. The blue shift of maximum fluorescence peak, the decrease of rice protein intrinsic fluorescence intensity and the reduction of surface hydrophobicity indicated the formation of protein aggregates caused by MDA oxidative modification. The results of molecular weight distribution and particle size distribution showed that MDA modification resulted in the formation of soluble protein aggregates, and the decrease of rice protein solubility indicated that insoluble protein aggregates were formed. Results of protein electrophoresis showed that MDA modification contributed to rice protein aggregation via non-disulphide covalent bonds. The results showed that rice protein gradually aggregated with increasing MDA concentration.

液滴撞击干燥倾斜壁面铺展实验研究

通过高速摄影技术及像素分析方法对液滴撞击干燥倾斜壁面进行实验研究，分析了不同倾斜角及韦伯数（We）对液滴飞溅及铺展的影响，结果表明，倾斜角的增加有利于抑制飞溅的产生；We一定时，液滴的前铺展因子随着倾斜角的增加而增加，后铺展因子随着倾斜角的增加而减小；液滴的前后初始铺展速度均大于液滴的撞击速度，且随着倾斜角的增加而减小。      

聚乙二醇-三聚氰胺甲醛和聚乙烯醇半互穿网络的构建及表征

为提高三聚氰胺甲醛(MF)树脂制品的柔韧性,以聚乙二醇接枝三聚氰胺(M-PEG)替代部分三聚氰胺,并与甲醛、聚乙烯醇(PVA)在碱性条件下合成了聚乙二醇-三聚氰胺甲醛(PEG-MF)与PVA的半互穿聚合物网络体系(SemiIPN)。采用红外光谱、拉曼光谱、热重分析、差示扫描量热法等手段对Semi-IPN的微观结构进行了剖析,并分析了PEG、PVA等柔性链段对Semi-IPN黏度、游离甲醛含量、柔韧性等性能的影响。结果表明,PVA作为线型结构贯穿于聚乙二醇-三聚氰胺甲醛树脂交联网络体系结构中,形成了半互穿网络结构;所形成的Semi-IPN的热分解温度比MF树脂降低了60℃左右;Semi-IPN的韧性比纯MF树脂提高了800%,最高可达到19.700kJ/m2。
