Application and research progress of starch in polymer materials★
Wang Zhi-fen, Fang Lin, Zhang Ke-xi, Fu Xin
Abstract: Starch a natural polymer that is characterized by cheap, regenerative, and good biodegradation is generally mixed with low density polyethylene, high density polyethylene, polypropylene, and polystryrene to prepare degradable materials. In order to relieve "white pollution" due to undegradability of plastic materials, starch is mixed with polyvinyl alcohol, polylactic acid, poly-hydroxybutyric acid, polycaprolactone, chitosan, derivatives, and other degradable polymers to prepare fully degradable biomaterials. With gradual exhaustion of petroleum and progressive depravation of environmental quality, starch that is regarded as a reinforcing agent is widely used in rubber industry. Starch is characterized by hydrophilicity, difficulty in processing, and poor compatibility to plastic materials, rubber, and other polymers, so starch is firstly modified and then mixed with polymers to make starch. This study was designed to summarize the application of starch in plastic materials, rubber, and other polymer blends and to investigate the latest research progresses of starch in polymer materials.

    Natural rubber [poly-cis-isoprene(C5H8)n]. the latex consists of a polymer colloid of a monomer called isoprene. The precipitation of the rubber particles from the latex produces an elastic, sticky, gummy mass. In 1839, Charles Goodyear found that by vulcanising (ie. Cross-linking the polymer chains) the natural rubber a non sticky elastic was produced. This vulcanised natural rubber soon became used in a wide variety of products including tyres, insulation, matresses and rainwear. Rubber production could not keep up with demand, especially from the vehicle industry. A synthetic replacement was needed. And today synthetic polymer production accounts for 80% of the worlds rubber production.…

    The more starch that was added the bigger the ball would get, and the polyvinyl acetate solid did nothing to our product. To test the polymer ball as to whether or not the ball could withstand different temperature climates. Two tests were performed. An ice bath test, and a boiling water test. One half of the ball was sitting in a beaker of ice. As soon as the polymer was placed in the beaker it started to steam and immediately it started to freeze. The polymer also started to flatten out. When it was taken out of the ice it was very slippery and hard to grip. It was also difficult to roll into a ball. But, after it sat in room temperature it was easier to mold into a ball and still carried the “bounce” that a bouncy ball should have. In boiling water experiment, water was boiled in a beaker with the use of a Bunsen burner. After the water was boiling we placed the polymer ball into the water and it melted but didn’t fully dissolve in the water. There was a layer of the polymer ball floating in the water. We collected the layer and put the substance into a beaker. When the substance cooled down and was back to room temperature, the substance became very stretchy. The polymer could also be rolled back into a…

    The result of this experiment verifies the assumptions made at the beginning of lab. The bulk process yields the polymer with molecular weight greater than solution process mainly because of the high monomer concentrations of bulk process. The viscosity data for bulk process product shows a good linear behavior. While the viscosity data for solution process product contains errors due to undissolved PS in solution.…

    Polysaccharides is known as the high molecular weight compound form of simple sugar glucose that plants and animal store. Within plant cells, the storage consists of starch connected together by glycosidic bonds. A larger polymer in terms of molecular weight is glycogen. Through the iodine test, we are able to distinguish the presence of starch and glycogen by the use of staining. Telling from the colour of the result, a blue back is the presence of starch and a reddish brown is the presence of glycogen. (Russo, 2010)…

    Materials in the modern day world assist us with comfortable everyday living. Most people don’t recognise the fact that science is behind all of our modern day advances. Molecular properties and structures form the basis of the functioning of our appliances, materials and environment. The way that these moles are charged, their polarity, state, bonding and forces individualise the material to make them unique in their formation and function. Polymers are chains of monomers (atom or a small molecule that has the potential of chemically binding to other monomers of the same species) which link in various fashions (e.g. cross-link, linear linking) to form materials that are used constantly to help humanity’s comfort and existence thrive. An important innovation of chemical advances is a material known as Hydrogels.…

    As we can see the particles size was varied by varying the polymer ratio, and the hydrophobic moiety immobilized on the COS chain. For the COS, and its oleoyl-CGKRK derivatives, the complexes showed increase in the size by increasing the polymer ratio from 1 to 5 folds. Increasing the polymer ratio to 10 folds resulted in a decrease in the size. Meanwhile, in the case of saturated fatty acids including the palmitoyl-CGKRK, and stearoyl-CGKRK derivatives of chitosan, they exhibited different pattern as the polymer: siRNA weight ratio increases from 1 to 5 the particle size decrease, then it increased when the weight ratio of polymer: siRNA reached 10. Additionaly, we noticed that among the chitosan derivatives oleiyl derivative had the smallest particle size at all polymer ratios. It is clear that, the fatty acid chain and its degree of hydrophilicity had a strong impact on the polymer/siRNA complexes size, figure…

    Abstract: Chitin and its deacetylated derivative chitosan are natural polymers composed of randomly distributed -(1-4)linked D-glucosamine (deacetylated unit) and N-acetyl-D-glucosamine (acetylated unit). Chitin is insoluble in aqueous media while chitosan is soluble in acidic conditions due to the free protonable amino groups present in the D-glucosamine units. Due to their natural origin, both chitin and chitosan can not be defined as a unique chemical structure but as a family of polymers which present a high variability in their chemical and physical properties. This variability is related not only to the origin of the samples but also to their method of preparation. Chitin and chitosan are used in fields as different as food, biomedicine and agriculture, among others. The success of chitin and chitosan in each of these specific applications is directly related to deep research into their physicochemical properties. In recent years, several reviews covering different aspects of the applications of chitin and chitosan have been published. However, these reviews have not taken into account the key role of the physicochemical properties of chitin and chitosan in their possible applications. The aim of this review is to highlight the relationship between the physicochemical properties of the polymers and their behaviour. A functional characterization of chitin and chitosan regarding some biological properties and some specific applications (drug delivery, tissue engineering, functional food, food preservative, biocatalyst immobilization, wastewater treatment, molecular imprinting and…

    Abstract: Anaerobic Digestion (AD) is a series of process in which microorganisms break down biodegradable material in the absence of oxygen, used for industrial or domestic purposes to manage waste and/or to release energy. It is a common scheme for industrial sludge treatment because of producing biogas the content of which includes methane (CH4)(55-65%),CO2(30-35%),small amounts of other O2, H2S etc. and is an environmentally friendly fuel. Large quantities of sludge are produced in industrial wastewater treatment. Industrial sludge has a high putrescibility and therefore has to be stabilized in order to enable an environmentally safe utilization or disposal. The anaerobic digestion is the standard technique to stabilize the industrial sludge. Digestion produces biogas and reduces the amount of organic matter. The amount of excess sludge production from wastewater treatment plants is continuously increasing. Therefore, minimization of excess industrial sludge is becoming more and more important. The objectives of the paper are the review of the anaerobic process, mass reduction, biogas production and improved dewatering properties of the treated sludge.…

    Synthetic Polymers

    Some molecules contain so many atoms (up to tens of thousands) that understanding their structure would seem to be an impossible task. By recognizing that many of these macromolecules exhibit recurring structural motifs, however, chemists have come to understand how these molecules are constructed and, further, how to synthesize them. These molecules, called polymers, fall into two classes: natural and synthetic. Natural polymers include many of the biomolecules that are essential to life: proteins, nucleic acids, and carbohydrates among them. Synthetic polymers—most of which were developed in just the last 60 or so years—include plastics, synthetic rubbers, and synthetic fibers. We shall study synthetic polymers in this Interchapter and natural polymers in the next one. Enormous industries have been built around synthetic polymer chemistry, which has profoundly changed the quality of life in the modern world. It is estimated that about half of all industrial research chemists are involved in some aspect of polymer chemistry. Few of us have not heard of nylon, rayon, polycarbonate, polyester, polyethylene, polystyrene, Teflon®, Formican®, and Saran, all of which are synthetic polymers. The technological impact of polymer chemistry is immense and continues to increase.…
