Research Abstract |
A new preparation manner termed as "vine-twining Polymerization" was developed to produce amylose-polymer inclusion complexes. A first example of the polymerization method was achieved by an enzymatic polymerization of glucose 1-phosphate monomer catalyzed by phosphorylase in the presence of polyTHF as a guest polymer. The structure of the product was determined by the X-ray powder diffraction and NMR measurements to be the inclusion complex. The formation of the inclusion complexes by this polymerization method using polyTHFs with various molecular weights and end groups, as well as other polyethers as the guest polymers was also examined. Furthermore, polyesters were taken as guest polymers to form the corresponding inclusion complexes. Formation of inclusion complex of amylose with a strong hydrophobic polyester was examined in parallel polymerization system. The preparation of the inclusion complex was achieved in two enzyme-catalyzed polymerizations. The analytical data of the product indicated that the product contained the inclusion complex. An alginate-polymethacrylate hybrid material was prepared by radical polymerization of a cationic methacrylate monomer, i.e., 2-aminoethyl methacrylate hydrochloride in the presence of sodium alginate in water. The insoluble material was formed with progress of the polymerization. The structure of the product was confirmed by the IR spectrum and elemental analysis, as well as the acid hydrolysis experiment to be composed of alginate and polymethacrylate. The TG and DSC data of product were different from those of a mixture of sodium alginate with poly(2-aminoethyl methacrylate hydrochloride). Furthermore, the films of the hybrid materials could be formed by means of the polymerization of the methacrylate monomer in the presence of sodium alginate, followed by the evaporation of the solvent.
