Polysaccharides for Bitumen Extraction, Environmental Decontamination and Cell Culture
(University of Waterloo, 2022-02-07)Polysaccharides are polymeric carbohydrates with long chains of monosaccharide units linked by glycosidic bonds. Some of the most prevalent polysaccharides in nature include starch and chitin. For the work reported in this ... -
Synthesis and Characterization of Thermoresponsive Starch Nanoparticles
(University of Waterloo, 2016-08-31)Thermoresponsive polymers (TRPs) are polymers that exhibit an abrupt change in their physical properties, such as solubility, with a change in temperature. The vast majority of TRPs produced to date are synthetic and ... -
Temperature Response of Aqueous Solutions of Pyrene End-Labeled Poly(N-isopropyl acrylamide)s Probed by Steady-State and Time-Resolved Fluorescence
(Wiley, 2018-02-15)Aqueous solutions of a series of monodisperse poly(N‐isopropylacrylamide)s end‐labeled with n‐butyl‐1‐pyrene at one or both chain ends (Pyn‐PNIPAMs with n = 1 or 2) were studied by turbidimetry, light scattering, and ...
