4-Hydroxy-5- - valeric

Throughout the 1990s a large portion of the research and development effort for hot melt adhesives focused on developing adhesives that are either environmentally friendly or functional [69,81,82]. Environmentally friendly attributes include biodegradability, water dispersibility (repulpability), renewability, and water releasability. Biodegradable adhesives have been developed based on starch esters [83-86] and polyesters such as poly (hydroxy butyrate/hydroxy valerate) [87], poly(lactide) [88-91], and poly(hydroxy ether esters) [92-94]. All but the...

Valinomycin is one of a group of compounds termed ionophores, which facilitate movement of ions across phospholipid membranes. Valinomycin has the cyclic structure f-t>valine-lactate-L-valine-hydroxy valerate-] 3. This figure shows the structure of the complex formed between valinomycin and K+. The complex is soluble in organic solvents and can pass through the phospholipid bilayer of the mitochondrial inner membrane. K+ dissociates reversibly from the complex in the aqueous solution on either side of the membrane.

Wang used reactive-extrusion polymerization with 2,5-di-methyl-2,5-di-t-bu-tylperoxy hexane to prepared a graft copolymer, (11), by free radically grafting polyethylene-glycol malonic acid onto the biodegradable substrate of poly((3-hydroxybutyrate-co- p-hydroxy valerate). 

This is a copolymer consisting of hydroxybutyrate and hydroxy valerate units incorporated randomly along the chain. The hydroxyvalerate content may be varied by adding controlled amounts of a simple organic acid. 

Synthetic or man-made, e.g., PVAl, CA, polylactams e.g., polycaprolactam), polyglycols (e.g., polyethylene glycol), poly(aspartic acid), poly(butylene succinate-co-adipate), as well as poly(3-hydroxy butyrate) or PHB, poly(P-hydroxybutyric acid) or PHBA, poly(hydroxy-valerate) or PHV, poly(lactic acid) or PLA, polyCglycolic acid), polyglycolides, polybu-tyric acid, their copolymers and mixtures. 

Higher molecular weight PHB and its copolymers with poly(3-hydroxy-valerate) (PHV) can be synthesized from racemic P-butyrolactone and P Valerolactone, using an oligomeric alumoxane catalyst. These polyesters, with only partial stereoregularity, are less susceptible to enzymatic degradation than the bacterial ones. Polyhydroxy-butyrate-valerate (PHBV) is produced by Monsanto as Biopol .

Bacterial polyesters (polyhydroxy alkanoates) Poly(3-hydroxy butyrate), poly(3-hydroxy valerate) Some micro-organisms, especially bacteria, can synthesise biocompatible aliphatic polyesters, which have potential in medical applications. 

Three main technical weaknesses of the synthetic and biosynthesised polyesters at present limit their usefulness. Firstly that they tend to depolymerise to lower M, products at normal processing temperatures. This has been partially overcome in the case of the PHAs by reducing the melting temperature (T ). For example, replacing 60% of 3-hy-droxybutyrate (HB) by 3-hydroxy valerate (HV) in PHB reduces from...
