Formation of hydrophilic starch coatings on polyethylene films

Thin starch coatings were deposited onto polyethylene (PE) film surfaces when PE films were immersed in 1% jet cooked starch solutions and the hot solutions were allowed to cool. Normal cornstarch, waxy cornstarch, high amylose cornstarch, and solvent‐extracted normal cornstarch (to remove native lipid) were used in these experiments. Amounts of adsorbed starch varied from about 0.03–0.05 mg per cm² of PE, and these starch coatings imparted hydrophilic properties to film surfaces, as evidenced by contact angle measurements. Although starch could be removed by gently rubbing water‐wet PE surfaces, air‐dried coatings were more firmly attached, and did not separate from the PE surface when films were bent or flexed. SEM images of starch‐coated film surfaces showed that starch was deposited as particles less than 1 μm in diameter, and also as aggregates of these submicron particles. Despite the fact that some starch samples contained only very small amounts of amylose and native lipid, surface‐deposited starch in all experiments contained 90–100% amylose; and exhibited the same V_h X‐ray diffraction pattern, indicative of helical inclusion complex formation. © 2002 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Graft polymerization of vinyl acetate onto granular starch: Comparison on the potassium persulfate and ceric ammonium nitrate initiated system

This work was undertaken to discuss in depth the vital differences in the morphological development during synthesis, and properties of starch‐g‐poly‐(vinyl acetate) copolymers using two different initiators, potassium persulfate (KPS) and ceric ammonium nitrate (CAN). KPS‐initiated system gave relatively low values of grafting ratio and grafting efficiency, indicating a great tendency for the formation of poly(vinyl acetate) homopolymer (PVAc). Yet, higher values were seen for the CAN‐initiated system. Transmission electron microscope observations indicated a relatively broad distribution of latex particles for the KPS‐initiated system. The surface potential of latex particles was about ?3.5 mV, which turned out to be insufficient to maintain stability of latex particles. On the other hand, a uniform particle size distribution was found for the CAN‐initiated system, as the surface potential of latex particles was 21.5 mV. Moreover, radicals on starch molecules were generated directly through a redox reaction with positively charged ceric ion. The hydrophobic PVAc chains were thus grafted on starch, resulting in an amphiphilic graft copolymer, which provides a sufficient stabilization degree as a role of surfactant to render a relatively uniform distribution of latex particles. The synthesized starch‐g‐poly(vinyl acetate) copolymers were further converted to starch‐g‐poly(vinyl alcohol) through saponification, which were subjected to evaluations regarding the biodegradation and cell culture capability. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Anisotropy of X-ray structural parameters of the three phase model in cellulose I

Anisotropy of X-ray structural parameters of the three phase model proposed by Mitra and Mukherjee (ref.2), has been investigated in the case of cellulose fibres of ramie, hemp and jute. The structural parameters have been determined separately from each of the observable equatorial reflections. It has been found that the parameter degree of crystallinity as defined in the model is in fact anisotropic at least in the samples studied. The parameter degree of paracrystallinity introduced by Mitra and Mukherjee was also found to be anisotropic. Several important correlations between the structural parameters have been drawn. It has been observed, in agreement with the recent findings of Hosemann and Balta Calleja (ref.10) that the greater the paracrystalline distortion, the smaller the ‘paracrystallite size’.
