The reactivity of octenyl succinic anhydride (OSA) with starch by phase transition catalyst (PTC) was investigated. The effects of two types (quaternary ammonium salt and non-ionic surfactant) and concentrations of PTC on the degree of substitution (DS) and reaction efficiency (RE) of OS-starch were examined. In aqueous medium, the use of a PTC, polyoxyethylene lauryl ether (AEO) produced derivatives with higher DS than others. The DS of OS-starch reached 0.0195 with 0.1% AEO, significantly higher than that (0.0182) without the use of PTC. As the concentration of AEO increased, the DS of OS-starch did not increase. The structural of AEO was investigated by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. Conductivity measurement and Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy confirmed that AEO could form complexes with Na(+). The complex of AEO and Na(+) could combine with starch-O(-), it should be possible to improve the transport of anion starch-O(-) to the hydrophobic reagents.

Freezing extends the shelf life of foods but often leads to structural damage due to ice crystal formation, negatively impacting quality attributes. Oscillating magnetic field (OMF)-assisted supercooling has emerged as a potential technique to overcome these limitations by inhibiting ice nucleation and maintaining foods in a supercooled state. Despite its potential, the effectiveness and underlying mechanisms of OMF-assisted supercooling remain subjects of debate.

The advancement of rapid-response grid energy storage systems and the widespread adoption of electric vehicles are significantly hindered by the charging times and energy densities associated with current lithium-ion battery technology. In state-of-the-art lithium-ion batteries, graphite is employed as the standard negative electrode material. However, graphite suffers from polarization and deteriorating side-reactions at the high currents needed for fast charging.
