The rheological behaviour of the suberin oligomers as well as of the inks, with and without suberin, were investigated as a function of temperature. It was shown that the addition of suberin induces a decrease of viscosity of both inks. The tack of pristine inks, suberin oligomers and their mixtures were determined at different temperatures: the variation of this parameter as a function of time provided information about the drying kinetics of these formulations. The tack of the ‘Waterless’ ink was found to increase with the introduction of suberin, whereas that of vegetable-oil based counterparts decreased. All the trends observed were interpreted in terms of the differences in composition between the two types of inks. Preliminary printing tests were carried out with the various suberin-containing inks</style></abstract></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>7</ref-type><contributors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Comparative Analysis of the Lignins of Cork from Quercus suber L. and Wood from Eucalyptus globulus L. by Dry Hydrogen Iodide Cleavage</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Lignin: Historical, Biological, and Materials Perspectives</style></secondary-title></titles><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1999</style></year></dates><publisher><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">American Chemical Society</style></publisher><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">742</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">14-291</style></pages><isbn><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">0-8412-3611-9</style></isbn><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Lignin from cork (Quercus suber L.) was isolated by two procedures: organosolv extraction and dioxane-water (9:1) extraction in presence of HCl. These lignins were characterized using a mild hydrogen iodide-cleavage method followed by 1H NMR and GPC analysis. The results were compared with those for eucalyptus lignins (Eucalyptus globulus) isolated by the same procedures. The method used provided syringyl/guaiacyl ratios for the linear parts of the macromolecules and the degrees of crosslinking. The prevalence of guaiacyl units was demonstrated for cork lignin. Syringyl units were found to be minor components and present mainly in the linear parts of macromolecules. p-Hydroxyphenyl units were mainly condensed. Cork lignin was found to be significantly more cross-linked than eucalyptus lignin.</style></abstract><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">doi:10.1021/bk-2000-0742.ch014</style></notes><research-notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">doi:10.1021/bk-2000-0742.ch014</style></research-notes></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Urethanes and polyurethanes from suberin 2: synthesis and characterization</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">INDUSTRIAL CROPS AND PRODUCTS</style></secondary-title></titles><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1999</style></year></dates><publisher><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">ELSEVIER SCIENCE BV</style></publisher><pub-location><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">PO BOX 211, 1000 AE AMSTERDAM, NETHERLANDS</style></pub-location><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">10</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1-10</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Polyurethanes based on suberin from cork of Quercus suber L. and conventional isocyanate monomers were prepared and fully characterized in terms of both structure (FTIR and H-1 NMR spectroscopy) and thermal properties (differential scanning calorimetry and thermogravimetric analysis). Two fractions were systematically isolated, namely (i) methylene-chloride soluble products, which corresponded to linear and branched macromolecules and (ii) methylene-chloride insoluble products, representing the crosslinked material. The structures of these polymers were regular and no appreciable side reactions were detected. DSC analyses provided information about the glass transition temperature of both fractions and this parameter was correlated with the stiffness of the isocyanate used. The TGA of these polyurethanes showed that they started to degrade at about 175 degrees C and that the residue at 400 degrees C was around 50%. The highest amounts of insoluble fractions, as well as the highest T-g,s, were reached when an initial \{[\}NCO]/\{[\}OH] of unity was used. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science B.V.

This mixture of compounds was thoroughly characterized by FTIR, 1H- and 13C-NMR, gas chromatography coupled with mass spectrometric (GC-MS) analysis, vapour pressure osmometry (VPO), mass spectrography (MS) and gel permeation chromatography (GPC). After derivatization, the main components of the volatile fraction, representing less than half of the total, were found to be omega-hydroxymonocarboxylates, alpha, omega-dicarboxylates, simple alkanoates and 1-alkanols, all with chain lengths ranging from C16 to C24. A second fraction, with an average molecular weight about three times higher, was detected by VPO, MS and GPC. The presence of this important fraction in cork suberin had not been recognized in earlier studies. Both fractions constitute interesting precursors for the elaboration of new materials.</style></abstract><accession-num><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">9585884</style></accession-num></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cork suberin as a new source of chemicals: 2.

A sub- stantial proportion of these oligomers possessed a microcrystalline character with a melting range between 0 and 50°C. The amorphous part was liquid at room temperature and did not display a detectable glass transition upon cooling because of its wide molecular weight distribution.

A preliminary kinetic study, conducted with the aim of establishing the reactivity of suberin with different mono-, di- and polyisocyanates, showed that the kinetics of these condensations followed the classical second-order behaviour up to conversion of about 90%. The reactivity of different isocyanates followed patterns that could be readily rationalized in terms of steric hindrance and electronic factors, associated with each specific structure. The investigation was then extended to the synthesis of the new polymers which were characterized by FTIR and NMR spectroscopy and DSC. These suberin-based polyurethanes were a mixture of linear, branched and crosslinked structures. The proportion of the latter (insoluble fraction) being the highest for thr syntheses carried out in stoichiometric conditions, viz. \{[\}NCO](o) = \{[\}OH](o). The Tg of these materials depended of the diisocyanates used and correlated with their structural stiffness.</style></abstract></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Isolation and characterization of a lignin-like polymer of the cork of Quercus suber L.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">HOLZFORSCHUNG</style></secondary-title></titles><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1996</style></year></dates><publisher><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">WALTER DE GRUYTER &amp; CO</style></publisher><pub-location><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">GENTHINER STRASSE 13, D-10785 BERLIN, GERMANY</style></pub-location><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">50</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">563-568</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">A lignin-like polymer was successfully extracted from the cork of Quercus suber L. using an organosolv-based technique. This material was characterized by elemental analysis, functional group analysis, nitrobenzene oxidation followed by HPLC analysis of the oxidation products, FTIR and liquid C-13 NMR. The evidence thus obtained indicated that the extracted material was composed mainly of a lignin-like polymer covalently bound to residual aliphatic structures which are not present in common lignins and which have been assigned to suberin. The latter is likely to be attached to the oxygenated side chains of the phenolic polymer but bonding through the aromatic ring can also be envisaged. No residual carbohydrates were detected. The phenolic polymer, composed mainly of guaiacyl-type units and small amounts of syringyl-type units, had a low methoxy content and a high degree of condensation. This polymer showed the presence of a fraction containing C6Cn units with n &lt; 3 or even n &lt; 2.</style></abstract></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Characterization of the cork surface by inverse gas chromatography</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Journal of colloid and interface science</style></secondary-title></titles><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1995</style></year></dates><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">174</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">246-249</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Inverse gas chromatography (IGC) at infinite dilution has been used to study the surface properties of cork from Quercus suber.

The surface acid (A)/base(B) properties were also evaluated by using polar probes and the results indicate that cork has an amphoteric character, with a KA/KB=1.1.
