Characterization of Hydrophobically Modified Starch Nanoparticles by Pyrene Fluorescence
Kim, Damin (University of Waterloo, 2017-01-25)Starch nanoparticles (SNPs) were hydrophobically modified with propionic (C3) and hexanoic (C6) anhydride via esterification. Different degrees of substitution (DS) of the hydroxyl groups of the SNPs were achieved by varying ... -
Characterization of the Conformation and Internal Backbone Dynamics of a-Polyglucans by Pyrene Excimer Fluorescence
Kim, Damin (University of Waterloo, 2021-11-23)The conformation and internal backbone dynamics (IBD) of several pyrene-labeled polysaccharides (Py-PSs), namely Py-Amylopectin, Py-Glycogen, Py-Dextran, and Py-Pullulan, were successfully examined with a combination of ...
