Objective: This article aims to design low molecular weight chitosan (LMWC)-based conjugates of Rhein (RH) by means of an amino acid linker (Alanine) for improved solubility and enhanced bioavailability.Significance: Rhein is a potential candidate for the therapy of kidney disease. However, the poor solubility, inadequate bioavailability, and lack of proper formulation restrict its clinical applicability. LMWC-drug conjugates offer the potential to improve the water-solubility of RH, increase its oral absorption, and thereby enhance its bioavailability.Methods: The conjugates were synthesized via a carbodiimide reaction and confirmed using UV-vis, FTIR, and 1H-NMR spectroscopy. The water-solubility and in vitro release properties were evaluated. Free RH and RH-LMWC conjugates were administered at an equivalent oral gavage dose of RH at 35 mg/kg for pharmacokinetic studies in Sprague Dawley rats.Results: The conjugates with RH content of 9.65% were successfully synthesized and featured a satisfactory water-solubility of 9.73 mg/mL, which exhibited a sustained release pattern over 72 h, and the enzymes present may promote the degradation of the conjugate to increase the release of Rhein. Oral administration of RH-LMWC conjugates to rats led to seven-folds and 3.1-folds increase in the T1/2 and AUC0–∞, respectively, as compared to RH suspension.Conclusion: The present work demonstrated that the RH-LMWC conjugates exhibited sustained release properties with outstanding oral bioavailability enhancements compared to administration of RH itself. Potentially, RH-LMWC conjugates may serve as a promising lead for developing a new platform for RH oral delivery.

Yb-based catalyst was used for the first time for atom transfer radical polymerization using activators generated by electron transfer (AGET ATRP) of acrylonitrile (AN) with 2-bromopropionitrile (BPN) as initiator, 2, 2′-bipyridine (bipy) as ligand, and tisn(II) bis(2-ethylhexanoate) (Sn(EH) 2 ) as reducing agent in the presence of air. With respect to AGET ATRP of AN catalyzed by CuBr 2 , an evident increase of polymer tacticity was observed for AGET ATRP of AN. The increase of syndiotacticity became more and more pronounced than the increase of isotacticity of polyacrylonitrile (PAN) along with YbBr 3 content. The block copolymer PAN-b-PMMA with molecular weight at 60,000 and polydispersity at 1.36 was successfully prepared.

Inks composed of renewable resources are important for the environment protection. We report preparation of a new type of edible chitosan-based flexographic ink. The performance of three inks, containing three different molecular weight (MW) chitosan, was analyzed by the different experimental techniques. The Ink viscosity was investigated from the parameters shear rate, time, temperature, and flexographic printing simulation. The printing quality on coated paper was studied by the scratch resistance, contact angle, print fastness, chromatic aberration, and dot gain. Viscosity recovery rate reached 69% after 6 s, and the print fastness was up to 91%. The experimental Δ E is 0.97, the dot gain is 23%, and contact angle is 69° for the best ink. Experimental results indicate that the developed ink is suitable for the flexographic printing with good application prospects. © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Appl. Polym. Sci. 2016 , 133 , 43997.

The reverse atom transfer radical polymerization (RATRP) of acrylonitrile (AN) was carried out in N, N-dimethylformamide (DMF) with AIBN as initiator, FeCl3•6H2O/triphenylphosphine (PPh3) and FeCl3•6H2O/pentamethyldle-thylenetrlamlne (PMDETA) as catalytic systems, respectively. Effect of reaction time and initiator concentration on polymerization rate, molecular weight and molecular weight distribution were investigated in detail. The Fourier transform infrared spectrometer (FTIR) and 1H nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (1HNMR) were employed to analyze the chain end of the PAN. Gel permeation chromatography (GPC) was applied to measure the molecular weight and polydispersity index (PDI) of PAN. The polymerization demonstrated a typical pseudo first-order kinetics characteristics as evidenced by the number-average molecular weights (Mn) increasing linearly with monomer conversion; the Mn decreasing with the increasing of the initiator concentration. Meanwhile, the low PDI value (<1.2) indicated the controllability of polymerization.

Ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) can be used as the candidate material for mixed transmission pipelines due to its fabulous wear durability, corrosion resistance, and self-lubricating qualities. Nonetheless, the connection between its microstructures and tribological performance is still unclear, and hence it is difficult to elucidate the mechanism of its wear resistance. Four types of UHMWPE samples (GUR 400Fine, GUR 4012, GUR 4130, and GUR 4150) were chosen for this study, and their tribological properties were tested. The results show that the coefficient of friction (COF) and wear rate (WR) of GUR 4130 decrease as the temperature increases, but its crystallinity would not be changed while its entanglement density increases and they were confirmed by dynamic mechanical analysis. Additionally, GUR 400Fine and GUR 4012 have similar molecular weight, GUR 400Fine's COF and WR are 1.12 and 1.37 times higher than those of GUR 4012 due to its lower entanglement density. Additionally, higher molecular weight causes higher entanglement density and better tribological performance. In conclusion, we have prepared UHMWPE with better wear resistance through a simple processing method.

The isoprene polymerization kinetics by using TiCl 4 /MgCl 2 type Ziegler-Natta catalysts (TMC) with different titanium contents were studied for better understanding the possible active-specie structures of heterogeneous Ziegler-Natta (Z-N) catalysts for conjugated diene polymerizations. The catalytic features including the catalytic activity (CA), number of active centers ([C*]/[Ti]), rate constant for polymerization (k p ), stereoregularity of these TMC catalysts were studied. The low titanium content catalyst TMC-1 (Ti = 0.09 wt.%) with more isolated mononuclear titanium species showed higher CA and yielded cis-1,4-/trans-1,4- mixed microstructure polyisoprene with low molecular weight ( M w ) in the initial polymerization stage. The medium high titanium content catalyst TMC-2 (Ti = 2.38 wt.%) with more clustered mononuclear titanium species showed lower CA and yielded cis-1,4-/trans-1,4- mixed microstructure polyisoprene with high M w in the early stage of polymerization. The high titanium content catalyst TMC-3 (Ti = 3.76 wt.%) presented lowest CA and yielded high trans-1,4- polyisoprene with higher M w .

Sn(0)-mediated single electron transfer-living radical polymerization (SET-LRP) of acrylonitrile (AN) with carbon tetrachloride (CCl 4 ) as initiator and hexamethylenetetramine (HMTA) as ligand in N, N -dimethylformamide (DMF) was studied. The polymerization obeyed first order kinetic. The molecular weight of polyacrylonitrile (PAN) increased linearly with monomer conversion and PAN exhibited narrow molecular weight distributions. Increasing the content of Sn(0) resulted in an increase in the molecular weight and the molecular weight distribution. Effects of ligand and initiator were also investigated. The block copolymer PAN- b -polymethyl methacrylate with molecular weight at 126,130 and polydispersity at 1.36 was successfully obtained. © 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

A higher porosity with better thermostability is desirable for poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC) resin. In this study, high molecular weight PVC resins are prepared by vinyl chloride monomer (VCM)-diallyl phthalate (DAP) suspension copolymerization in a 20-L reactor at 50 °C using DAP as chain extender. SEM, BET, and analyses of plasticizer absorption results show the high molecular weight poly(vinyl chloride) (HPVC) by DAP-VCM copolymerization is loose and porous. With increasing DAP content when the mass ratio of DAP/VCM (ω ) is below the gel point, the porosity and the degree of polymerization increase. Nevertheless, the bulk density and particle size decrease. When more than the gel point, these relationships are reversed. Thermogravimetric analysis revealed that the HPVC had better thermostability than that of commercial PVC, and its thermostability increases with increasing ω before it reaches the gel point. © 2017 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

PVA hydrogels with high strength and toughness are fabricated by dual physical and chemical cross-linking. The best comprehensive mechanical properties can be achieved by reaction at room temperature followed with freeze-thaw and annealing treatment. Besides, the mechanical properties of PVA hydrogel increased first and then decreased with the increase of molecular weight or mass fraction. By changing the reaction solvent, the mechanical properties of PVA hydrogel could also be effectively adjusted. Therefore, the influences of various factors on the mechanical properties of PVA hydrogel can be obtained.

In this study, a Ti 3 C 2 nanomaterial and Ti 3 C 2 /UHMWPE (ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene) nanocomposites were prepared. The morphology, structure and properties of the Ti 3 C 2 /UHMWPE nanocomposites were investigated. The results indicate that Ti 3 C 2 nanoparticle can improve the thermal and mechanical properties of UHMWPE . The crystallinity and hardness of the Ti 3 C 2 /UHMWPE nanocomposite increase with the content of Ti 3 C 2 . The tensile and breaking strengths of the nanocomposites are enhanced with increasing Ti 3 C 2 content and reach maximum values at a mass fraction of 0.75 wt.%. The creep performance is enhanced after the addition of Ti 3 C 2 to the matrix. The frictional properties of the Ti 3 C 2 /UHMWPE composites were investigated using a pin-on-disc tester. The Ti 3 C 2 /UHMWPE composites exhibited a better friction-reducing performance compared with pure UHMWPE . The addition of Ti 3 C 2 can reduce the adhesive wear and plow friction, which results in the worn surfaces of the Ti 3 C 2 /UHMWPE composite being smoother than those of pure UHMWPE.

Polyethyleneimine (PEI) of various molecular weights and trimesoyl chloride (TMC) were utilized to prepare composite nanofiltration (NF) membranes via interfacial polymerization. The changes in the surface structure and chemical composition of the prepared membranes were evaluated using SEM, ATR-FTIR, XPS and surface potential measurements. The pure-water flux and rejection rates of the inorganic salts (MgCl 2 , MgSO 4 , Na 2 SO 4 and NaCl) through the resultant NF membranes were also investigated. The results showed that the performance of the composite NF membranes was significantly affected by the molecular weight of the PEI. Notably, the permeate flux and rejection rate of the NF membranes increased with the PEI molecular weight. In addition, when the NF membranes were used to treat actual wastewater from the electroplating industry, the NF membranes presented high-efficiency separation properties for heavy metal ions. The rejection rates of the NF membranes at 0.4 MPa for chromium, nickel, zinc and copper ions reached 92.6, 89.6, 89.2 and 86.3%, respectively.

A series of polymeric surfactants , poly acrylic acid rosin polyethylene glycol esters (P-AAR-PEG), have been synthesized from natural diterpenic rosin. Their structures were characterized by Fourier Transform Infrared Spectrometer (FTIR) and their molecular weights were characterized by Gel Permeation Chromatography (GPC). Their critical micelle concentration (CMC), surface tension (γ CMC ), foaming property (FP), and hydrophile-lipophile balance (HLB) value were evaluated. Their thermal properties were measured by Thermal Gravimetric Analyzer (TGA) and fluid behaviors were studied by Rotational Rheometer. The influence of concentration on the properties of oil-in-water emulsions was examined and contrasted the stability of emulsion by the mean droplet size between day1 and day7. The weight-average molecular weight of P-AAR-PEG ranged from 1770 to 5071. CMC values of P-AAR-PEG were ranged from 0.33 to 0.87 g/L and the corresponding γ CMC values were ranged from 37.8 to 39.1 mN/m respectively. Their CMC and γ CMC values decreased and then increased with the increment of molecular weight of hydrophile group. Rheological measurements indicated that the P-AAR-PEG solutions changed from pseudoplastic property to Newtonian with increasing shear rate. P-AAR-PEG1000 had good emulsion ability to turpentine in water. When the concentration of P-AAR-PEG1000 was 8 wt%, the emulsion remained stable for more than 7 days.
