Sulfate dodecyl sodium-induced stability of a model intrinsically disordered protein, bovine casein

Sun, Yang; Zhang, Juntao; Wang, Haibo; Wang, Tingting; Cheng, Hua; Yu, Bo; Oliveira, Cristiano L. P.

With well-known nutritional properties, casein contributes to about 80% of protein content in milk and has been classified as highly intrinsically disordered protein (IDP). In this paper, the sulfate dodecyl sodium (SDS)-induced conformational changes of bovine casein were studied by multi-techniques. Isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC)…

Sugar-cane bagasse derived cellulose enhances performance of polylactide and polydioxanone electrospun scaffold for tissue engineering

Ramphul, Honita; Bhaw-Luximon, Archana; Jhurry, Dhanjay

Bagasse is a waste product of sugar extraction from sugar-cane with approximately 30% cellulose content. Cellulose was successfully extracted from sugar-cane bagasse using a modified mercerization-bleaching approach with a 40% yield. Extracted cellulose was converted to cellulose acetate for enhanced electrospinnability and blended with poly-l-Lactide or polydioxanone before solution…

Studies on blends of natural rubber and butadiene rubber containing silica – Organomodified kaolin hybrid filler systems

Raji Vijay, V.; Anitha, A. M.; Ravindranatha Menon, A. R.

Hybrid filler systems consisting of precipitated silica and kaolin modified with a sodium salt of rubber seed oil (SRSO) were studied in blends of natural rubber (NR) and polybutadiene rubber (BR). Substitution of 5–10 phr (parts per hundred rubber) of silica with SRSO modified kaolin imparted lower Mooney viscosity and higher…

Structure, transport and photoconductance of PbS quantum dot monolayers functionalized with a copper phthalocyanine derivative

André, A.; Theurer, C.; Lauth, J.; Maiti, S.; Hodas, M.; Khoshkhoo, M. Samadi; Kinge, S.; Meixner, A. J.; Schreiber, F.; Siebbeles, L. D. A.; Braun, K.; Scheele, M.

We simultaneously surface-functionalize PbS nanocrystals with Cu 4,4′,4′′,4′′′-tetraaminophthalocyanine and assemble this hybrid material into macroscopic monolayers. Electron microscopy and X-ray scattering reveal a granular mesocrystalline structure with strong coherence between the atomic lattice and the superlattice of nanocrystals within each domain. Terahertz spectroscopy and field-effect…

Structure evolution of polyamide (11)’s crystalline phase under uniaxial stretching and increasing temperature

Xiao, Xueliang; Cai, Ziqing; Qian, Kun

Thermal processing of polyamide influences the internal crystalline structure and thereafter the post product mechanical performance. In this article, the crystalline transition of polyamide-11 (PA11) plate under uniaxial stretching and increasing temperature was investigated systematically using in-situ synchrotron X-ray technique. It was discovered that the lamellar slippage, fragmentation and…

Structural Transitions in Solution-Cast Films of a New AABB Type Thiophene Copolymer

Chen, Haiming; Liu, Guoming; Qin, Yunpeng; Müller, Alejandro J.; Hou, Jianhui; Wang, Dujin

The structural transitions in solution-cast film of poly (PDCBT) copolymer have been systematically studied by a combination of differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA), in situ Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), UV–vis spectroscopy, and in situ wide-angle X-ray…

Structural Phase Transitions of Syndiotactic Polystyrene upon the Guest Extraction Process

Shaiju, P.; Gowd, Erathimmanna Bhoje

In this work, the effects of initial morphology/crystalline form and the guest molecules used for the preparation of syndiotactic polystyrene (sPS) co-crystals, on the structural phase transitions of sPS upon the guest extraction process were systematically investigated. For that purpose, samples having two different initial morphologies such as amorphous and…

Structural evolution from shish-kebab to fibrillar crystals during hot-stretching process of gel spinning ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene fibers obtained from low concentration solution

Wang, Zongbao; An, Minfang; Xu, Haojun; Lv, You; Tian, Feng; Gu, Qun

The pre-stretched gel-spinning ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene fibers with low concentration solution obtained from industrial production line were used to study the structural transition from shish-kebab to fibrillar crystals during hot-stretching process via in-situ small-angle X-ray scattering, wide-angle X-ray diffraction measurements, and scanning electron microscopy. With the…
