In this study, butyl-etherified waxy and high amylose starches were melt-processed with biodegradable poly[(butylene succinate)-co-adipate] (PBSA) to improve the long-term stability of the starch-based materials. Butyl-etherification was believed to improve the compatibility of starch with PBSA matr

The aim of this work was to synthesize a carboxymethylated xanthan (CMXG) via an etherification reaction between different ratios (2, 4, and 6) of xanthan gum (XG) and monochloroacetic acid (MCAA) using the Williamson synthesis method. The synthetized products were characterized in terms of their ph

A series of novel optically active [5]helicene-derived phosphine ligands (L1, with a 7,8-dihydro[5]helicene core structure- and L2, with a fully aromatic [5]helicene core structure) were synthesized. Despite their structural similarities, L1 and L2 exhibit particularly different characteristics in t
