Open AccessIn vitro synthesis of linear α-1,3-glucan and chemical modification to ester derivatives exhibiting outstanding thermal properties
Bio-based polymer is considered as one of potentially renewable materials to reduce the consumption of petroleum resources. We report herein on the one-pot synthesis and development of unnatural-type bio-based...

Effect of acetylation site on orientation birefringence of cellulose triacetate
The effect of a substitution site on orientation birefringence for cellulose triacetate (CTA) was investigated by the addition of xylan ester. Since CTA has three substitution sites (C-2, C-3, and C-6) while x...

Open AccessGellan sulfate inhibits Plasmodium falciparum growth and invasion of red blood cells in vitro
Here, we assessed the sulfated derivative of the microbial polysaccharide gellan gum and derivatives of λ and κ-carrageenans for their ability to inhibit Plasmodium falciparum 3D7 and Dd2 growth and invasion of r...

Syntheses of poly(l-lactide)-block-xylan butyrate-block-poly(l-lactide) triblock copolymers and their properties
Di-hydroxyl-terminated xylan butyrate (XylBu) with two hydroxyl end groups at opposite ends of the polymer was prepared by acid hydrolysis of XylBu. l-Lactide was polymerized on to the hydroxyl groups at both end...

Radially oriented cellulose triacetate chains on gold nanoparticles
Cellulose triacetate (CTA) derivatives having a disulfide group at the reducing-end (CTA2S, CTA13S, CTA41S), with number average degrees of polymerization (DPns) of 2, 13 and 41, respectively, were prepared. The ...

Synthesis and thermal properties of poly(methyl methacrylate)-graft-(cellobiosylamine-C15)
Model experiments for synthesis of a comb-shaped copolymer with cellulose side-chains were performed with cellobiose derivatives. A novel cellobiose monomer, N-(15-methacryloyloxypentadecanoyl)-2,3,6-tri-O-acetyl...
