SYNTHESIS OF KONJAC GLUCOMANNAN ACETATE WITH HIGH DEGREE OFSUBSTITUTION AND OF ITS RHEOLOGICAL AND THERMOPLASTIC PROPERTIES
Konjac glucomannan acetate with high degree of substitution (KGM acetate)was synthesized by reaction of konjac glucomannan (KGM)and acetic anhydride catalyzed with concentrated sulphuric acid.The influences of the reaction conditions on the degree of substitution (DS)were investigated
and the optimum ratio of ethanol/water
reaction time
reaction temperature
concentration of catalyst and ratio of KGM/acetic anhydride were 5∶5
2 h
75℃
0.1 mol/L and 5∶40 (g/mL)
respectively
under which the DS of product was as high as 2.93
and the molecular weight of KGM acetate was significantly lower than that of KGM.KGM and KGM acetate were characterized by means of FTIR
XRD
SEM
TGA
DSC and rotary rheometer.The results showed that the carbonyl (CO)characteristic absorption peak of KGM acetate was much higher than that of KGM.Most of the apparent morphology of KGM acetate was loose flocculent.KGM and its acetate both were amorphous structure.The thermal stability of KGM acetate was lower than that of KGM
and the decomposition temperature of KGM and KGM acetate was 261.1℃ and 204.6℃
