In this paper, the synthesis, characterization and application of a copolymer as a sizing agent obtained by the grafting of methacrylic acid on hydrolyzed potato starch were investigated. Starch hydrolysis was performed in order to reduce the average molar mass (i.e. the size of the macromolecules). Grafting of methacrylic acid on hydrolyzed potato starch was performed to obtain a product that can be effective in textile processing, for example, for sizing yarn. The grafting of the monomer has been confirmed by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy spectra of hydrolyzed and grafted potato starch. The distribution of molar masses was determined chromatographically. The results obtained by sizing of cotton yarn with the new starch agent confirmed its higher breaking strength, elongation, abrasion resistance, reduced hairiness, better evenness, etc. Grafted hydrolyzed potato starch (almost identical to the commercial medium) exhibits better performance as a potential agent for sizing cotton yarn than ungrafted hydrolyzed starch.

The influence of the concentration of finely dispersed aluminum and compatibilizer on the resistance to peeling of aluminum foil from the surface of a composite based on low density polyethylene and high density polyethylene is considered. To improve the compatibility of the filler with the polymer matrix, a compatibilizer was used, which is a graft copolymer of polyethylene of various grades with methacrylic acid and maleic anhydride. Copper and aluminum foil was used as a substrate. It is shown that the introduction of a compatibilizer into the composition of aluminum-filled composites improves their peeling resistance. It has been found that if an aluminum filled compatibilizer is used directly as an adhesive, then the peeling resistance of copper and aluminum foil is significantly increased. Graft copolymers of polyethylene with maleic anhydride have the highest peel resistance values. The results of the study of the influence of the pressing temperature on the type of adhesive failure are presented. It is shown that with an increase in the pressing temperature, a mixed type of adhesive destruction is observed. It has been experimentally proved that, in percentage terms, the cohesive type of fracture prevails in composites where graft copolymers are used as a polymer matrix. It was found that a 100 % cohesive type of fracture is observed in foil-clad composites pressed at a temperature of 190 °C, where a graft copolymer of polyethylene with methacrylic acid or maleic anhydride is used as an adhesive.

Oral hyaluronic acid (HA) is a ubiquitous biopolymer that has gained attention as a treatment for local or systemic diseases. Here, we prepared and characterized structures of free HA (f-HA) with a high (>105 Da), intermediate (≤105 Da), and low (≤104 Da) average molar mass (MM); nanoparticles crosslinked with adipic dihydrazide (n-HA); and mixed formulations (mixed-HA) containing f-HA and n-HA. MM distribution determined the structure, hydrodynamic diameter, and zeta potential of the f-HAs. Crosslinking changed the physicochemical properties in n-HA. In vitro tack adhesion assays, using mucin tablets or a viable rat intestinal mucosa, showed better mucoadhesion with f-HA (intermediate MM) and mixed-HA (25% n-HA), especially in the jejunum segment. High MM f-HA presented negligible mucoadhesion. n-HA showed the deepest diffusion into the porous of the membranes. In vivo results showed that, except for high MM f-HA, there is an inverse relationship between rheological changes in the intestinal membrane macerates resulting from mucoadhesion and the effective intestinal permeability that led to blood clearance of the structures. We conclude that the n-HA formulations are promising for targeting other tissues, while formulations of f-HA (intermediate MM) and mixed-HA are better for treating dysbiosis.

The optimization of the reaction conditions (pH,T,t) to obtain stable copper(II) ion complexes with dextran derivatives were investigated in this paper. A complete synthesis of stable aqueous complexes can be realized with reduced low-molar polysaccharides, at an average molar mass 5000 g mol–1and pH 7.5–8. Fourier-transform IR spectra of polysaccharide dextran and its compounds with copper(II) ion, recorded at room temperature, were analyzed in order to obtain the information about the structure and the conformation of these polymer compounds. The ESR parameters of the spectra indicate the square-planar coordination of Cu(II) ion with four O atoms. Copper(II) complex formation with dextran and its derivatives were analyzed by physicochemical methods. Synthesized complexes of Cu(II) ion with reduced low-molar dextran in comparison with commercial preparations showed the considerably lower acute toxicity (LD501705).

In this case study, we explored quantitative 1H NMR (qNMR), HPLC-DAD, and the Folin-Ciocalteu assay (TPC) as methods of quantifying the total phenolic content of a green macroalga, Ulva intestinalis, after optimized accelerated solvent extraction. Tentative qualitative data was also acquired after multiple steps of purification. The observed polyphenolic profile was complex with low individual concentrations. The qNMR method yielded 5.5% (DW) polyphenols in the crude extract, whereas HPLC-DAD and TPC assay yielded 1.1% (DW) and 0.4% (DW) respectively, using gallic acid as the reference in all methods. Based on the LC-MS observations of extracts and fractions, an average molar mass of 330 g/mol and an average of 4 aromatic hydrogens in each spin system was chosen for optimized qNMR calculations. Compared to the parallel numbers using gallic acid as the standard (170 g/mol, 2 aromatic H), the optimized parameters resulted in a similar qNMR result (5.3%, DW). The different results for the different methods highlight the difficulties with total polyphenolic quantification. All of the methods contain assumptions and uncertainties, and for complex samples with lower concentrations, this will be of special importance. Thus, further optimization of the extraction, identification, and quantification of polyphenols in marine algae must be researched.
