Utilizing starch, an abundant polysaccharide, as the renewable filler to blend with poly(butylene adipate-co-terephthalate) (PBAT) is a feasible tactic to construct cost-effective and high-performance biodegradable materials. It's worth noting that the thermal processing properties of starch can be manipulated by its plasticized behavior. Herein, epoxidized soybean oil (ESO) and glycerol were used as the plasticizer for native corn starch and the plasticized starch was integrated with PBAT to manufacture starch-based biodegradable blend films. ESO breaks the hydrogen bonds between starch chains through the fatty chains grafting reaction and increases the distance between starch molecular chains due to the large molecular weight of ESO. Meanwhile, glycerol molecules are incorporated into the starch molecular chains, and fatty chains grafted starch chains, effectively reducing the intermolecular forces of molecular chains. On account of the synergistic plasticization of ESO and glycerol which possess good compatibility with PBAT, the PS blend film achieved a tensile strength, an elongation at break of 16.11 MPa and 612.09 %, and the balanced water and oxygen permeability properties.

Bio-based carboxyl-terminated hyperbranched crosslinkers have been synthesised by the facile esterification reaction of glycerol with succinic anhydride (Gly-SA). The Gly-SA crosslinking molecules have a large number of terminal carboxyl groups, which can crosslink through the epoxide of epoxidised soybean oil (ESO), making a highly flexible transparent film with excellent oxidative resistance. The effect of different molecular weights of Gly-SA cured ESO on the thermal and mechanical properties of the resulting films was also investigated.

Epoxidized soybean oil (ESO) was applied as an additive for wheat gluten (WG) to modify the properties of the renewable and biodegradable natural polymer materials. Optimum intermolecular interactions and crosslinking between ESO chains and the WG matrix were achieved under alkaline conditions. The WGESO materials were heterogeneous on a scale of 20-30 nm, but the homogeneity was improved upon increasing the amount of glycerol as a plasticizer in the materials.

The extent and the location of nystatin solubilization by nonionic surfactant micelles were determined. The critical aggregation concentrations (CAC) of nystatin in 4 x 10(-3) M surfactant were determined by dynamic light scattering. The resulting CAC values for nystatin in Cremophor EL (CrEL), Tween 80 (T80), and Nofable ESO-9920 (NOF) were 150, 150, and 300 microM compared to 10 microM for the phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) control.
