Synthesis of Coordination Polymers Using Different Maleic Acid Ligands under Hydrothermal Conditions

A novel coordination polymer, [ Ni （mal） （1,10＇-phen） （ H2O） ] n （ 1 ） （ mal = malate, 1,10＇-phen = 1,10- phenanthroline） was synthesized using malic acid which was generated from maleic acid via hydrothermal reaction. Complex 1, which displays a two-dimensional supramolecular network, was formed by the addition reaction of Ni and maleic acid with water molecules. To our knowledge, several coordination polymers have been directly synthesized from malic acid, but these types of complexes have seldom been synthesized from maleic acid via hydrothermal reactions. When Ni（ Ⅱ ） ion was changed to Zn（ Ⅱ） ion under the same condition, two-dimensional covalent complex 2 [ Zn2 （fma） 2 （1,10＇-phen） 2 ] n （fma = fumatic acid） was formed. Furthermore, complex 2 exhibits intense photolumi- nescent property at room temperature.

Covalent Immobilization of Lipase on Poly(acrylonitrile-co-maleic acid) Ultrafiltration Hollow Fiber Membrane

Lipase from Candida rugosa was covalently immobilized on the surface of an uhrafihration hollow fiber membrane fabricated from poly （ acrylonitrile-co-maleic acid） （ PANCMA ） in which the carboxyl groups were activated with 1-ethyl-3-（ dimethylaminopropyl ） carbodiimide hydrochloride （ EDC ） and dicyclohexyl carbodiimide （ DCC ）/ N-hydroxyl succinimide（NHS）, respectively.

Oxidation of furfural to maleic acid and fumaric acid in deep eutectic solvent(DES)under vanadium pentoxide catalysis

Furfural is an alternative feedstock and has been used for the production of maleic acid(MA)and fumaric acid(FA)by an oxidation process.Deep eutectic solvents(DESs)were used as the green solvents while sodium chlorate was used as an oxidant and vanadium pentoxide was used as the catalyst at 70-90°C under atmospheric pressure.It was found that several acidic DESs are valid,such as acetic acid/choline chloride(AA/ChCl)and propionic acid/choline chloride(PA/ChCl),and AA/ChCl DES was selected as the solvent for the conversion.The optimal DES is AA/ChCl,and the effect of the amount of oxidant,time,and temperature on the yield of the MA and FA has been systematically studied,and the conversion of furfural can reach 100%while the yield of the MA and FA reached 66.5%under reaction temperature of 80℃ for 12 h,which provides a new green route to synthesis valuable monomers from furfural.

Equilibrium of Extraction of Succinic, Malic, Maleic and Fumaric Acids with Trioctylamine

Extraction equilibrium features of succinic acid,malic acid,maleic acid and fumaric acid were investigated systematically with trioctylamine (TOA) in chloroform,4-methyl-2-pentanone (MIBK) and 1-octanol.Fourier transform-infrared(FTIR) spectroscopic analysis of organic samples loaded with the acid show that amine forms 1:1 complex of ion-pair association with succinic acid,malic acid and maleic acid,and 1:1,2:1 complex of ion-pair association with fumaric acid.It is proposed that the complex forms depend on the second dissociation constant of the dibasic acid,pKa2.Results of equilibrium experiments show that diluents affects extraction behavior,and depend on the solute concentration.Protic diluents,chloroform and 1-octanol,are more effective than the others when the equilibrium solute concentration.Protic diluents,chloroform and 1-octanol,are more effective tthan the others when the equilibrium solute concentration is lower than 1:1 stoichiometry of TOA to acid,otherwise the extraction ability shows that MIBK>1-octanol>chloroform for malic and maleic acids,and 1-octanol>MIBK>chloroform for succinic acid.Overloading(Solute concentration in organic phase is lager than TOA concentration) appears for all of the studied acids, and the sequence of overloading amount is the same as that of distribution constant of diluent.The results show that the sequence of extraction ability of different acid is the same as that of acidity at low equilibrium solute concentrations,while it is the same as the sequence of hydrophobicity at high equilibrium concentrations.

FTIR, 13C NMR and DSC were used to characterize the maleic anhydride-modified PDLLA.

The UV Aging Properties of Maleic Anhydride Esterified Starch/Polylactic Acid Composites

Esterified starch/polylactic acid（ES/PLA） blending composite was prepared by melting extrusion with maleic anhydride esterified starch and PLA as the raw materials. The composite was accelerated aging by using UV aging box, and its properties were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy（FT-IR）, scanning electron microscopy（SEM）, X-ray diffraction（XRD）, thermo gravimetric analysis（TGA） and mechanical testing machine. FT-IR and SEM results show that the infrared absorption peak intensities of C-O, C-H, and C=O in aged samples decrease gradually with increasing aging time. The damage degree of surface and internal of aged samples increases gradually. XRD analysis results show that after aging treatment, the crystalline diffraction peak of thermoplastic esterified starch at 2θ = 21° disappears and the diffraction peaks of PLA at 2θ = 16.5° appear, indicating that the hydrolysis rate of esterified starch is greater than that of PLA. The crystallinity of PLA in aged sample shows an increasing trend at first followed by a decreasing one along with the increasing time of aging treatment, suggesting that the hydrolysis of amorphous regions of PLA is more preferential than its crystalline regions. Because of the influence of crystal structure and the change of composition structure, the initial decomposition temperature of aging test specimen gradually increases with the extension of aging time. The maximum decomposition rate temperature and residual mass increases at first, and then decrease after the aging time extending to 1600 h. As the aging time increases, the damage degree of combination interface between esterification starch and PLA is exacerbated, resulting in the tensile strength and bending strength of aged specimen decreasing gradually.

Sclerotinia sclerotiorum is a necrotrophic plant pathogenic fungus with broad distribution and host range.Bioactive compounds derived from plant extracts have been proven to be effective in controlling S.sclerotiorum.In this study,the mycelial growth of S.sclerotiorum was effectively inhibited by maleic acid,malonic acid,and their combination at a concentration of 2 mg/mL,with respective inhibition rates of 32.5%,9.98%,and 67.6%.The treatment of detached leaves with the two acids resulted in a decrease in lesion diameters.Interestingly,maleic acid and malonic acid decreased the number of sclerotia while simultaneously increasing their weight.The two acids also disrupted the cell structure of sclerotia,leading to sheet-like electron-thin regions.On a molecular level,maleic acid reduced oxalic acid secretion,upregulated the expression of Ss-Odc2 and downregulated CWDE10,Ss-Bi1 and Ss-Ggt1.Differently,malonic acid downregulated CWDE2 and Ss-Odc1.These findings verified that maleic acid and malonic acid could effectively inhibit S.sclerotiorum,providing promising evidence for the development of an environmentally friendly biocontrol agent.

Constructing osteo-inductive bio-ink for 3D printing through hybridization of gelatin with maleic acid modified bacterial cellulose by regulating addition volumes of maleic acid solution

Bacterial cellulose(BC)is an exopolysaccharide with unique properties that has been applied in various fields.However,the dense and intertwined nature of BC fibers limits its use in certain applications,including 3D printing scaffolds for bone regeneration.In this work,a controllable BC-based bio-ink for 3D printing was successfully prepared by modifying the neat BC through maleic acid(MA)treatment,aiming to promote bone tissue regeneration.To achieve homogeneous BC dispersions while preserving its crystalline and chemical properties,BC was modified by MA solution(60%,w/V)with solid-liquid ratio from 1꞉5 to 1꞉50(w/V)to obtain MA-BC dispersions.The analysis results from microstructure,chemical group,crystallinity,and wettability indicated that the BC/MA solution with ratio of 1꞉30 demonstrated the best pre-treatment performance to obtain MA-BC.Subsequently,by combining MA-BC with gelatin,we successfully formulated MA-BC-GEL gels with favorable rheological properties and compression modulus,which can be used as promising bio-inks for 3D bioprinting applications.In vitro tests demonstrated 1꞉30 MA-BC possessed excellent biocompatibility,a significant ability to express the alkaline phosphatase gene and osteogenic-related genes,and facilitated the formation of mineralized nodules.The utilization of this novel bio-ink in scaffold preparation for bone regeneration highlights the promising application of modified BC in bone tissue engineering field.
