Advanced Fractionation of Kraft Lignin by Aqueous Hydrotropic Solutions
Lignin is an underutilized high-potential biopolymer that has been extensively studied over the past few decades. However, lignin still has drawbacks when compared with well-known petroleum-based equivalents, and the production of tailored lignin ...

Molecular-Weight-Dependent Infiltration and Adsorption of Polymers into Nanochannels
The mesoporous silica shell coating hydrogenolysis nano-catalysts alters the molecular weight distributions of cleaved polymer chains compared to catalysts without a shell. The shell, composed of radially aligned narrow cylindrical nanopores, reduces the

Effect of Microwave Plasma Pre-Treatment on Cotton Cellulose Dissolution
The utilization of cellulose to its full potential is constrained by its recalcitrance to dissolution resulting from the rigidity of polymeric chains, high crystallinity, high molecular weight, and extensive intra- and intermolecular hydrogen bonding ...

High and low molecular weight crossovers in the longest relaxation time dependence of linear cis-1,4 polyisoprene by dielectric relaxations [PDF]
The dielectric relaxation of cis-1,4 Polyisoprene [PI] is sensitive not only to the local and segmental dynamics but also to the larger scale chain (end-to-end) fluctuations.

Comparison of low molecular weight glutenin subunits identified by SDS-PAGE, 2-DE, MALDI-TOF-MS and PCR in common wheat [PDF]
Low-molecular-weight glutenin subunits (LMW-GS) play a crucial role in determining end-use quality of common wheat by influencing the viscoelastic properties of dough.

The potential for circular dichroism as an additional facile and sensitive method of monitoring low-molecular-weight heparins and heparinoids [PDF]
The ultraviolet circular dichroism (CD) spectra of commercial low-molecular-weight heparins, heparinoids and other anticoagulant preparations have been recorded between 180 and 260 nm.

Rheological measurement of molecular weight distribution of polymers
This paper has described a method to obtain the molecular weight distribution (MWD) of polymeric materials from their rheological data. The method has been developed for linear polymers with log normal molecular weight distribution.

Physicochemical and Molecular Properties of Spelt and Wheat Starches Illuminated with UV Light
Scope: Aqueous suspensions of spelt and wheat starch were irradiated with ultraviolet radiation for 5–50 h. The changes in the molecular structure of the starch induced by UV radiation were related to the photodegradation of starch chains and the ...
