Application of ultrasonic waves in activation of microcrystalline cellulose

In this work, microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) was activated with ultrasonic waves. The influences of ultrasonic treatment on the changes of supramolecular structures and morphology structure were studied by WAXS and SEM. The accessibility of the MCC was characterized by water retention value (WRV) and specific surficial area. The influence of ultrasonic treatment on the reactivity of MCC was investigated through the reaction of MCC being oxidized into 2,3‐diadehyde cellulose (DAC) by periodate sodium. The mechanism of the reactivity change of ultrasonically treated MCC was examined. The results showed that the degree of crystallinity of MCC decreased and the degree of polymerization showed little change after treatment with ultrasonic waves. The morphologial variation of the treated MCC was significant when compared with the untreated MCC, which contribute to the improvement of accessibility. The aldehyde content of DAC prepared from ultrasonically treated MCC was improved from 64.19 to 85.00%, indicating that the regioselective oxidation reactivity of MCC was significantly improved. The aldehyde content was found to first increase with time of ultrasonic treatment to a point, and then decrease as time progressed. In addition, the aldehyde content was found to increase with an increase in ultrasonic power. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci, 2008     

A disposable sensor based on immobilization of acetylcholinesterase to multiwall carbon nanotube modified screen-printed electrode for determination of carbaryl

A simple method has been devised for immobilization of acetylcholinesterase (AChE) covalent bonding to a multiwall carbon nanotube (MWNT)-cross-linked cellulose acetate composite on a screen-printed carbon electrode (SPCE) and a sensitive and disposable amperometric sensor for rapid determination of carbaryl pesticide is proposed. The immobilized enzyme was preserved on this film because of the excellent biocompatibility and non-toxicity of cellulose acetate. Based on the inherent conductive properties of the MWNT, the immobilized AChE had greater affinity for ATCl and excellent catalytic effect in the hydrolysis of ATCl. MWNT improved the interface enzymatic hydrolysis reaction and increased the amperometric response of the sensor. Under optimum conditions, the inhibition of carbaryl on AChE increased linearly with the increasing concentration of carbaryl in two ranges, from 0.01 to 0.5 μg mL⁻¹ and from 2 to 20 μg mL⁻¹, with the correlation coefficients of 0.9985 and 0.9977, respectively. The detection limit was 0.004 μg mL⁻¹ taken as the concentration equivalent to 10% decrease in signal. The sensor showed acceptable stability, accuracy and could be fabricated in batches, thus it is economic and portable. This type of disposable enzyme-based amperometric sensor has extensive application potential in environmental monitoring of pesticides.     

Epoxidation of high trans‐1,4‐polyisoprene and its properties

A new organic‐solvent‐free water‐phase suspension method was used to synthesize partially epoxidized high trans‐1,4‐polyisoprene (TPI) to improve its properties, including oil resistance and wet‐skid resistance. The epoxidation was conducted in an aqueous peracetic acid solution and on the TPI granules prepared by a bulk precipitation method with supported titanium catalyst. The effects of the synthesis conditions, including reaction temperature, reaction time, and pH value, on the epoxy content were investigated. Epoxidized trans‐1,4‐polyisoprene (ETPI) with epoxy contents between 10 and 80% were obtained within 4 h. Both the amorphous and crystalline regions of TPI were epoxidized. The crystallization properties decreased with increasing epoxy content. ETPIs possessed lower mechanical properties than TPI but could be enhanced by vulcanization. The oil resistance and wet‐skid resistance were significantly improved after epoxidation. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci, 2008

Nested polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and multiple cloned antibody capture PCR for the examination of serum hepatitis B virus DNA in negative hepatitis B surface antigen patients suffering from liver diseases

In order to find out rapidly the causes of the liver diseases suffered by patients with negative hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg), nested polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and multiple cloned antibody capture PCR techniques were established to examine serum hepatitis B virus (HBV) DNA. By using both techniques along with the examination of hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection, the causes of chronic liver diseases with negative HBsAg were studied. It is found that nested-PCR can increase the sensitivity of single PCR more than 1,000 fold and multiple cloned antibody capture-PCR can detect concentration of HBV DNA as low as 0.1-0.01 pg/L. HBV DNA positive patients were found in 45.5%, 30.8%, 13.3% and 100% respectively of the patients suffering from liver cirhosis with negative HBsAg (group A, 22 cases), chronic hepatitis with negative HBsAg (group B, 13 cases), normal subjects with negative HBsAg and positive hepatitis B core antibody (HBcAb, group C, 30 cases) and liver cirhosis with positive HBsAg and negative HBeAg (group D, 12 cases). HBV DNA can be also found in the serum of HBsAb positive patients and subjects supposed to be healthy, 81.8% and 53.8% of the patients were infected with HBV and/or HCV in group A and group B respectively. All these results suggest that nested-PCR and multiple cloned antibody capture-PCR are rapid and highly sensitive methods for detection of serum HBV DNA. HBV infection is an important cause of chronic liver diseases in patients with negative HBsAg. The causes of most of the HBsAg-negative chronic liver diseases are related with infection of viruses. The clinical significance of serum HBsAb in naturally infected patients should be reconsidered.
