Differential roles of C-3 and C-6 phosphate monoesters in affecting potato starch properties

The effects of starch phosphate monoester content(SPC),namely C-3(C3P)and C-6 phosphate monoesters(C6P),on the starch properties were investigated using four potato starches with varied SPC/C3P/C6P and two nonphosphorylated maize starches with a similar range of amylose content(AC)as controls.The starch property results showed that a higher SPC is associated with lower turbidity,storage and loss modulus after storage,and water solubility,but higher swelling power(SP)and pasting viscosities.These findings suggested that SPC inhibited molecular rearrangement during storage and starch leaching during heating,and enhanced swelling and viscosities due to increased hydration and water uptake caused by the repulsion effect of phosphate groups and a less ordered crystalline structure.Increased SPC also resulted in lower resistant starch(RS)content in a native granular state but higher RS after retrogradation.Pearson correlations further indicated that SPC/C3P/C6P were positively correlated with peak(r^(2)=0.925,0.873 and 0.930,respectively),trough(r^(2)=0.994,0.968 and 0.988,respectively),and final viscosities(r^(2)=0.981,0.968 and 0.971,respectively).Notably,SPC,mainly C3P,exhibited a significantly positive correlation with SP(r^(2)=0.859)and setback viscosity(r^(2)=0.867),whereas SPC,mainly C6P,showed a weak positive correlation with RS after retrogradation(r^(2)=0.746).However,SPC had no significant correlations with water solubility,turbidity and rheology properties,which were more correlated with AC.These findings are helpful for the food industry to select potato starches with desired properties based on their contents of SPC,C3P,or C6P.

Physicochemical Properties Comparative Analysis of Corn Starch and Cassava Starch, and Comparative Analysis as Adhesive

The morphology and properties of corn starch and cassava starch were compared by SEM, DSC and TGA. Theeffects of amylose and amylopectin content on starch properties were studied by FT-IR, XRD and XPS. The plywood was pressed with the prepared adhesive and the bonding strength of the plywood was tested to analyze thedifference among the adhesives from different plant sources and the difference after blending PAPI prepolymer.FT-IR results showed that the hydroxyl peak of cassava starch was stronger and wider. TGA showed that the residue of cassava starch was lower, but the thermal stability of cassava starch was almost the same. XPS data showedthat the oxygen content of cassava starch was slightly higher, but the carbon content was slightly lower. SEM analysis showed that corn starch granules were more irregular and sharper than cassava starch, and cassava starchgranules were more uniform, regular and round.

Influence of Processing Variables on Some Physico-Chemical Properties and Quality of Manioc Starch-Based Adhesives

Bio-degradable cassava starch-based adhesives were produced from chemically gelatinized starch formulations. The varying combinations of process parameters applied include: concentration of gelatinization modifier, mass % borax/starch, and temperature of reaction mixture. The physico-chemical parameters for characterizing the adhesive samples were viscosity, density, pH and bonding strength. The effects of the variation of process parameters on the quality of the adhesives were assessed using response surface (central composite) designs with 2 factors, to relate the highest adhesive quality with the optimal combination of process factors. The adhesives produced using HCl as the gelatinization modifier were of a higher quality than those produced using NaOH with one of the most important quality assessment parameters which is the bond strength being 22.31 kPa at 0.01 M and 20% mass borax/starch and 11.60 kPa at 0.01 M and 8% mass borax/starch for HCl and NaOH respectively. The experimental results demonstrated that the optimal temperature for the production of the adhesive was 85˚C.

DEGREE OF SUBSTITUTION OF THE IONIZED STARCHES AND THEIR ADHESIVE CAPACITY TO POLYESTER / COTTON FIBERS

Adhesive capacity of quaternary ammonium starch and starch phosphate to the polyester / cotton fibers was studied by means roving method for the purpose of improving the sizing performance and decreasing the cost. By introducing different amount of quaternary ammonium or phosphate groups onto starch molecules, the modified starch with a series of defferent degree of substitution was prepared. Therefore the regularity of adhesive capacity, extended property and size-absorbing ability with the change in degree of substitution (DS) was obtained through the researches. The experiments demonstrate that the DS of the two modified starches show a marked influence upon the properties mentioned above. The starch phosphate is superior to quaternary ammonium starch as warp size for polyester / cotton yarns from the viewpoint of adhesive capacity and cost, although both of them are better than natural one. To improve the adhesive capacity to polyester / cotton fibers, DS≥0.027 is necessary for quaternary ammonium

THE ADHESIVE CAPACITY OF STARCH GRAFT COPOLYMERS TO POLYESTER/COTTON FIBER

The advantages of using starch graft copolymers as warp sizes in textile were briefly discussed, and the factors of affecting adhesive capacity to the fiber were analysed. By using eerie ammonium nitrate as an initiator under nitrogen atomosphere, a number of vinyl and/or acrylic monomers such as acrylic acid, acrylamide, methyl acrylate, ethyl acrylate, butyl acrylate, hydroxyethyl acrylate, methyl methacrylate, butyl methacrylate, vinyl acetate and the combinations among them were graft copolymerized respectively onto granular corn starch in aqueous dispersion. The adhesive capacity of these starch graft copolymers to polyester/cotton fibers was evaluated by a slightly sized rovings according to V. K. Aggarwal’s method which measures the breaking strength and elongation of the rovings impregnated with the size paste. The influences of the monomers and their combinations, the grafting technological processes and the pretreatment methods before graft copolymerization upon adhesive capacity have been

Starch-Based Adhesives for Wood/Wood Composite Bonding: Review

Increasing global energy crisis and scarcity of petroleum resources has shifted focus of chemical industries to look for alternative raw material resources. The main focus of raw materials in wood adhesives, such as petroleum and natural gas [1] [2], would be gradually replaced by renewable biopolymers. Starch is a relatively inexpensive and renewable product from abundant plants, easy processing and it has been extensively used as binders, sizing materials, glues and pastes [3], but its bonding capacity is not strong enough to glue wood [4]. Extensive research has been carried out on improving the cohesive properties, especially water resistance, of starch-based adhesives. In starch-based wood adhesive many new approaches have come forward for effective use it in wood/wood composite adhesive giving comparable performance as synthetic adhesives. This review of starch-based adhesives is made with the focus on starch modification methods for improving properties of starch-based adhesives.

Silane Modification of Starch-Based Wood Adhesive: Review

Currently there has been a growing interest in substituting traditional synthetic polymers with biobased renewable polymers for adhesive applications. However, biobased renewable polymers such as starch suffer from few draw-backs like poor water resistance and mechanical strength. To become important potential alternatives of synthetic polymers, starch must have comparable physical, chemical, thermal and mechanical properties to that of synthetic polymers. To achieve this, starch has been modified by a series of crosslinkers like boric acid, citric acid, glyoxal, gluteraldehyde, etc. and silane modification. Silane modification by chloropropyl trimethoxysilane, γ-Methacryloxypropyl trimethoxy silane and vinyl trimethoxy silane is a suitable method to improve the performance in terms of mechanical and thermally. Silane forms covalent bonds with starch during starch modification resulted in enhanced shear strength and storage stability. A new research on biodegradable, renewable, environmentally friendly silane modification of starch-based wood adhesive that was prepared by reacting with various silanes. This paper, we reviewed silane as a modifying agent for starch-based wood adhesive.

Several adhesive hardening structures and theories of the binder at room temperature were proposed according to the interactions between various compositions. Thus, the reasons for the binder to have excellent combination properties and unique adhesive bonding and self-curing characteristics were explained by these theories successfully. And the theories are of great directive importance to design and development of composite binder for green sand mould/core.

Modeling and Optimization of the Shear Strength of Cassava Starch-Based Adhesives Using Artificial Intelligence Methods

With the exponential growth of the computing power,machine learning techniques have been successully used in various applications.This paper intended to predict and optimize the shear strength of single lap cassava starch-based adhesive joints for comparison with the application of artificial intelligence(AI)methods.The shear strength was firstly determined by the experiment with three independent experimental variables(starch content,NaOH concentration and reaction temperature).The analysis of range(ANORA)and analysis of variance(ANOVA)were applied to investigate the optimal combination and the significance of each factor for the shear strength based on the orthogonal experiment.The performance of all AI models was char acterized by mean absolute error(MAE),root mean square error(RMSE)and regression coefficient(R^(2))compared with the experi-mental ones.The GA optimized ANN model was combined with the genetic algorithm(GA)to find the optimal combination of factors for the finalized optimized cassava starch adhesives(CSA-OP).The physicochemical prop-erties of the cassava starch and CSA-OP were determined by the FTIR,TGA and SEM EDS,respectively.The results showed that the numerical optimized condition of the GA optimized ANN model was superior to the orthogonal experimental optimized condition.The sensitivity analysis revealed that the relative importance of variables was consistent with the results from ANOVA.FTIR results showed that there were high hydroxyl groups in cassava starch.TGA results showed that the residue of CSA OP was higher than the assava starch.SEM EDS results showed that both the cassava starch and CSA OP had abundant carbon and oxygen functional groups.Consequently,the obtained results revealed that the use of AI methods was an adequate approach to model and optimize the experimental variables of the shear strength of single lap cassava starch-based adhesive joints.

Transformation of Sucrose to Starch and Protein in Rice Leaves and Grains under Two Establishment Methods

Six rice varieties, PR120, PR116, Feng Ai Zan, PR115, PAU201 and Punjab Mehak 1 were raised under aerobic and transplanting conditions to assess the effects of planting conditions on sucrose metabolising enzymes in relation to the transformation of free sugars to starch and protein in flag leaves and grains. Activities of sucrose synthase, sucrose phosphate synthase and acid invertase increased till flowering stage in leaves and mid-milky stage（14 d after flowering） in grains and thereafter declined in concomitant with the contents of reducing sugar. Under aerobic conditions, the activities of acid invertase and sucrose synthase（cleavage） significantly decreased in conjunction with the decrease in non-reducing sugars and starch content in all the varieties. Disruption of starch biosynthesis under the influence of aerobic conditions in both leaves and grains and the higher build up of sugars possibly resulted in their favoured utilization in nitrogen metabolism. Feng Ai Zan, PR115 and PR120 maintained higher levels of sucrose synthase enzymes in grains and leaves and contents of metabolites（amino acid, protein and non-reducing sugar） under aerobic conditions, while PR116, Punjab Mehak 1 and PAU201 performed better under transplanting conditions, thus showing their adaptation to environmental stress. Yield gap between aerobic and transplanting rice is attributed primarily to the difference in sink activity and strength. Overall, it appear that up-regulation of sucrose synthase（synthesis） and sucrose phosphate synthase under aerobic conditions might be responsible in enhancing growth and productivity of rice varieties.

Effect of Starch Dodecenylsuccinylation on the Adhesion and Film Properties of Dodecenylsuccinylated Starch for Polyester Warp Sizing

A series of dodecenylsuccinylated starches( DSSs) with different degree of substitution( DS) were prepared via the esterification of dodencenylsuccinic anhydride with hydrolyzed cornstarch in aqueous dispersion for investigating the influences of starch dodecenylsuccinylation upon the performances such as apparent viscosity and surface tension of starch paste, film behaviors,and adhesion to fibers for warp sizing. It was found that the dodecenylsuccinylation was able to reduce the surface tension of cooked starch paste and enhance the adhesion of starch to polyester fibers. It was also capable of depressing the brittleness of native starch and improving the mechanical behaviours such as breaking elongation and work-to-break of starch film. Initial increase in DS level of dodecenylsuccinylation enhanced these positive effects,while excessively increasing the level resulted in marked reduction in tensile strength of starch film and significant decrement in reaction efficiency. X-ray diffraction patterns of starch films showed the dodecenylsuccinates derivatized onto the backbones of starch depressed the degree of crystallinity of starch film. Based on the paste behaviors, adhesion, and film properties, the dodecenylsuccinylation level is recommended in a range of 0. 015-0. 025 for sizing polyester warps.

Effect of Electrolyte Impurities within Starch on the Adhesion of Quaternary Ammonium Starch to Fibers

Influences of some electrolyte impurities within starch and starch cationization on the adhesion of quaternary ammonium cornstarch to cotton and polyester fibers were investigated.The electrolytes considered included NaCl,Na2SO4,NaH2PO4 and Na2HPO4.The adhesion to fibers was evaluated in terms of maximum strength and work-to-break of the roving sized with the starch pastes containing electrolytes.It was found that the cationization showed a positive effect on the adhesion to both fibers whereas the electrolytes gave an adverse effect and reduced the adhesion.The adverse effect depends on the type and amount of electrolytes.The influence of electrolytes on the adhesion can be ranked in a series of NaH2PO4 > Na2HPO4 > Na2SO4 > NaCl.The adhesion enhances as the modification extent increases and the electrolyte content decreases.Furthermore,the adverse effect can be compensated by the positive effect of the starch modification even at a low modification extent.If the electrolytes are fully eliminated,the cationic starch can increase the adhesion strength by more than 10% for both fibers.

Bioactive calcium and mangnesium phosphate bone adhesive for enhanced vascularization and bone regeneration

Bone adhesive is a promising material for the treatment of bone fractures,which is helpful for the fast and effective reduction and fixation of broken bones.However,the existing adhesives bond weakly to bone tissues,and are non-absorbable,or hard to cure under wet conditions.Herein,inspired by the cement-based adhesive used in the industry field,we report a bioactive calcium and magnesium phosphate bone adhesive(MPBA)with the properties of facile preparation,robust adhesion,and bioactive.MPBA is equipped with similar strength to cancellous bones and shows reliable bonding performance for various interfaces,such as Ti6Al4V,Al2O3,and poly(ether-ether-ketone).MPBA achieves excellent bonding ability for the above interfaces with the bonding strengths of 2.28±0.47,2.32±0.15,and 1.44±0.38 MPa,respectively.Besides,it also shows reliable fixation ability for bovine bone surfaces.The bonding behavior to materials and bones suggests that MPBA could be used for both fracture treatment and implant fixation.Meanwhile,MPBA possesses good biological activity,which could promote the vascularization process and osteogenic differentiation.Finally,in vivo experiments confirmed MPBA can effectively restore bone strength and promote bone regeneration.

Purification of starch and phosphorus wastewater using core-shell magnetic seeds prepared by sulfated roasting

Core-shell magnetic seeds with certain adsorption capacity that were prepared by sulfated roasting, served as the core of a magnetic separation technology for purification of starch wastewater. XRD and SEM results indicate that magnetite's surface transformed to be porous α-Fe_2O_3 structure. Compared with magnetite particles, the specific surface area was significantly improved to be 8.361 from 2.591 m^2/g, with little decrease in specific susceptibility.

The porous surface structure of magnetic seeds significantly contributes to the adsorption of phosphate and starch species, which can be efficiently removed to be 1.51 mg/L(phosphate) and 9.51 mg/L(starch) using magnetic separation.

磷化电流密度对A286合金电化学磷化膜组织结构和结合强度的影响

A286合金表面易钝化,通过传统化学磷化方法在其表面难以沉积磷化膜,而电化学磷化可避免钝化膜对磷化反应的抑制作用。因此,研究磷化电流密度对磷化膜组织结构和性能的影响规律很有必要。通过电化学磷化首次在A286合金表面形成了致密、高膜基结合力的磷化膜。利用电化学工作站对不同电流密度下磷化过程中电位-时间(ϕ-t)曲线进行测绘,研究电化学磷化膜生长过程的特点;使用扫描电子显微镜(SEM)观察磷化膜的显微组织形貌;使用能谱仪(EDS)分析磷化膜中不同区域的化学成分;使用X射线衍射仪(XRD)研究磷化膜的物相结构;使用划痕仪测定磷化膜与基体的结合力。结果显示:A286合金电化学磷化膜的沉积模式为逐层生长-堆叠的形式。低电流密度下,磷化膜为单一的Hopeite相,组织结构粗大、疏松,膜基结合力约为6 N。随着磷化电流密度的增加,磷化膜逐渐转变为Zn+Hopeite复相,组织结构细化、致密,膜基结合力提高。当阴极电流密度为160 mA/cm^(2)时,膜基结合力高于60 N。综合可知,磷化电流密度的增加有利于电化学磷化膜的致密化,有利于膜基结合力和耐磨性的提高。
