Preparation and Characterization of Temperature-Sensitive 2-Hydroxy-3-Allyloxy Propyl Starch Ether

Abstract:

A temperature-sensitive 2-hydroxy-3-allyloxy-propyl starch ehter (HAPS) was prepared by regulating the hydrophilic-lipophilic balance of etherified starch. Allyl glycidyl ether (AGE) was used as the hydrophobic reagent. ¹H-NMR was used to characterize the structure of products and determine the degree of substitution of etherified starch. UV-Vis and fluorescence spectroscopy methods were adopted to investigate the properties of HAPS aqueous solution. The results showed that the LCST of HAPS was reduced as the DS. When the cmc of HAPS decreases and DS increases, formation of micelles in an aqueous solution by self-assembly is possible.
