The iodine (I<sub>2</sub>) required saturating the fatty acids present in 100 grams of the oil or fat. Iodine value is a measure of the total number of double bonds (-C=C-) present in fats and oils. Unsaturated compounds contain molecules with double and triple bonds which are very reactive towards iodine. The iodine value has been determined according to Hanus with iodine monobromide in glacial acetic acid, and then the amount of iodine remaining unreacted is determined by titration using sodium thiosulfate volumetric standard solution. The hydroxyl value is the amount of potassium hydroxide in milligrams that is equivalent to the hydroxyl amount of 1 gram of the sample (mg KOH/g sample). Poloxyl Stearyl Ether is a mixture of the monostearyl ethers of mixed polyethylene glycols. It may contain various amounts of free stearyl alcohol and some free polyethylene glycol. In this study, the iodine value and hydroxyl value have been determined by titration in polyoxyl stearyl ether. Iodine value 1.84 g of I<sub>2</sub> absorbed/100g sample, and hydroxyl value 162.65 mg KOH/g sample have been found in poloxyl stearyl ether. The iodine value and hydroxyl value results met the United States Pharmacopeia specifications for Polyoxyl Stearyl Ether.展开更多

The immunostimulatory activity of this negatively charged polymer was investigated in vitro through examining the effect on the mitogen induced lymphocytes proliferation by a tetrazolium based colormetric assay and also through studying the primary plaque forming cells (IgM PFC) responses of Balb/c mice after the intraperitoneal (i.p.) injection of the polymer with sheep red blood cells (SRBC). PPST exhibits specific and high immunostimulatory activity in vitro by the stimulation on lipopolysaccharide(LPS) induced murine B cells proliferation, which is probably due to the interaction between the polymer with LPS responding B lymphocytes. This polymer also makes a significant increase of single antibody producing cells. The result shows that the stimulation rate to IgM PFC responses of Balb/c mice achieved 77.9% ( p <0.01) when 160 mg/kg of PPST was injected 4 h before with SRBC.展开更多

The results for the polymerization of γ-stearyl-α,L-glutamate(SLG) NCA using neodymium acetylacetonate (Nd(acac)_3)- or neodymium tris(2-ethylhexylphosphonate) (Nd(P_(204))_3)-triethylaluminum-water as catalysts were compared with those using conventional catalysts. It was found that the helicalpoly(γ-stearyl-L-glutamate) with high molecular weight as well as narrow molecular weight distribution can be obtained inthe presence of Nd(acac)_3/AlEt_3-1/2H_2O. The polymer obtained was characterized by IR and NMR spectroscopy.展开更多

The XPSresults demonstrated that the surface and bulk composition of the PS-g-SPEO graftcopolymers differ remarkably from each other,and that SPEO component was constantlyenriched at the copolymer/air interface. Contact angle studies indicated that the surfacewater wettability can be adjusted effectively by changing the composition of the copolymer.PS-g-SPEO graft copolymers can undergo microphase separation as clearly illustrated byTEM photographs. The relationship between the surface properties of PS-g-SPEO graftcopolymer and its blood compatibility was also discussed.展开更多

In this study, we prepare a series of random copolymers poly（perfluorohexylethyl methacrylate）-co-poly（stearyl acrylate） （P13FMA-co-PSA） and block copolymers poly（perfluorohexylethyl methacrylate）-b-poly（stearyl acrylate） （P13FMA-b-PSA）, and systematically investigate the effects of the sequence structure and the content of 13FMA of the fluorinated copolymers on surface free energy and surface reorganization. Static/dynamic contact angle goniometry and water/oil repellency analyses demonstrate that the random polymer P13FMA-co-PSA could not achieve low surface free energy and low surface reorganization at the same time. In contrast, for the block copolymer P13FMA-b-PSA, both low surface free energy and low surface reorganization are acquired simultaneously. The results of X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy （XPS）, dynamic contact angle goniometry and differential scanning calorimetry （DSC） reveal the above-mentioned properties. The consecutive 13FMA segments improve the surface fluorine density, while the consecutive SA chains enhance the crystallinity of the SA segments, and further hinder the surface reorganization of the perfluoroalkyl groups. Therefore, P13FMA-b-PSA exhibits a higher utilization efficiency of fluorine atoms and a better structural stability than P13FMA-co-PSA.展开更多
