The gelation and structural formation of two types of amylose in alkaline solution by in situ neutralization was monitored with time-resolved small-angle X-ray scattering (tr-SAXS). Sharp increases of SAXS profile in lower angle region were observed after gelation. The results showed that aggregation of amylose chains led to a gel point with crystal growth. The aggregation appeared to function as a junction zone, and the aggregate structure depended on the molecular weight of amylose. A high-molecular-weight sample was fitted using a Debye-Bueche function, and a low-molecular-weight sample was fitted using a stretched exponential function.
通过原位中和,利用时间分辨小角X射线散射(tr-SAXS)监测了两种直链淀粉在碱性溶液中的凝胶化和结构形成过程。凝胶化后,在低角度区域观察到小角X射线散射图谱急剧增加。结果表明,直链淀粉链的聚集导致了具有晶体生长的凝胶点。这种聚集似乎起到了连接区的作用,并且聚集结构取决于直链淀粉的分子量。高分子量样品用德拜-布歇函数拟合,低分子量样品用拉伸指数函数拟合。
