Poly(anhydride) are unstable and prone to hydrolytic degradation and depolymerisation via anhydride interchange. They are stored at -20°C, packed under inert atmosphere until use. We synthesized a new poly(anhydride) from ricinoleic (RA) and sebacic (SA) acid with alternating ester-anhydride structure that is stable at 25°C for over 18months. The copolymer is also stable in chloroform solution and under γ-irradiation. The polymer hydrolyses through anhydride cleavage lasting ~7days to form oligoesters, which are stable for >30days. The release of gentamycin from the synthesized alternate polymer matrix is sustained compared to the random copolymer.

Tomato Root Exudates Infected by Impact the Colonization of Nematicidal .

Microorganisms

October 2024

State Laboratory for Conservation and Utilization of Bio-Resources, Yunnan University, Kunming 650091, China.

Article Synopsis
  • Root exudates significantly influence microbial communities in the rhizosphere and can enhance bacteria's ability to control nematodes.
  • The study pinpointed strain BX-1 as highly effective against nematodes, particularly after tomato plants were infected, leading to changes in root exudate composition.
  • Certain metabolites (like caffeic acid and salicylic acid) in root exudates attracted BX-1, improving its colonization and efficacy in combating nematode populations.

Polyglycerol Sebacate/polycaprolactone/reduced graphene oxide composite scaffold for myocardial tissue engineering.

Heliyon

October 2024

Department of Biomaterials, Nano Technology and Tissue Engineering, School of Advanced Technologies in Medicine, Isfahan University of Medical Sciences, Isfahan, Iran.

The aim of this research was to fabricate and evaluate polyglycerol sebacate/polycaprolactone/reduced graphene oxide (PGS-PCL-RGO) composite scaffolds for myocardial tissue engineering. Polyglycerol sebacate polymer was synthesized using glycerol and sebacic acid prepolymers, confirmed by Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). Six PGS-PCL-RGO composite scaffolds (S-S) with various weight ratios were prepared in chloroform (CF) and acetone (Ace) solvents at 8 CF:2Ace and 9 CF:1Ace volume ratios, using the electrospinning method at a rate of 1 ml/h and a voltage of 18 kV.

Effect of Pretreatment of Activated Carbon on Iron Oxide-Loaded Catalysts to Significantly Enhance Production of Sebacic Acid from Castor Oil.

Molecules

September 2024

Key Laboratory of Resources Biology and Biotechnology in Western China, Ministry of Education, College of Life Sciences, Northwest University, Xi'an 710069, China.

This study explores the efficient conversion of castor oil to sebacic acid utilizing iron oxide (FeO) loaded on activated carbons as catalysts. Through a combination of saponification, acidification, and catalytic cracking, sebacic acid was produced with a notable yield improvement. The process involved using liquid paraffin as a thinning agent, overcoming the limitations of traditional toxic agents.

Secondary Network Formation in Epoxidized Natural Rubber with Alternative Curatives.

ACS Omega

August 2024

Materials Science and Environmental Engineering, Tampere University, P.O. Box 589, FI-33014 Tampere, Finland.

Epoxidized natural rubber (ENR) offers a unique combination of strength, sustainability, and versatile structure, making it a good candidate for creating sacrificial and reformable bonds via secondary curatives. These curatives should be simple and compatible with other rubber ingredients and industrial mixing processes. Although many alternative curatives, including zinc chloride, zinc dimethacrylate (ZDMA), and sebacic acid (SA), have been proven to be successful, they have never been compared in the same compound.
