ガス透過性が制御可能なリグニン/粘土鉱物由来紫外線カット膜
UV Cut Film from Lignin and Clay Mineral with Controllable Gas Transmittance Nature
敷中 一洋
Kazuhiro SHIKINAKA
<要旨> In this topics, I present a UV cut film consisting of lignin, an aromatic plant polymer, and clay mineral, an inorganic polymer from clay, with controllable gas transmittance nature. Here, lignin is extracted from plants by simultaneous enzymatic saccharification and comminution (SESC). The combination of clay mineral and lignin results in transparent films with a UV protective property because of the UV absorption nature of lignin. The preparation procedure of the films including the extraction process of components did not require hazardous chemicals. The optical properties and gas permeability of the films could be tuned by the phase separation structure of the clay minerals and lignin derivatives, e.g., the montmorillonite, a natural clay mineral, and lignin produces films with moisture/gas transmittance ability. The present film uses mineral and plant components as high-value industrial materials and reduces the environmental load of extracting limited petroleum-based resources.

Method for Controlling Gas Permeability by Double Packaging

Hideki WATANABE
<要旨> This paper describes a method for keeping the qualities of vegeables such as asparagus high. It is well known that modified atomosphere packaging can expand the shelf life of asparagus. It is important to keep O2 concentration abobe the limit that is around 5%. O2 concentration abnormity occurrs due to temperature change while stored. We found that double packaging can control the O2 concentration change speed in a smaller range compared to single packaging that is caused by temperatuer change. Double packaging can avoid O2 concentration abnormity easily.

<要旨> I wonder when I wanted to be a chemist. This came to my mind while I received the request to write this column. Since I was in my childhood, I have always loved adventures. I took a small “journey” in my decision for chemistry. Even now, I continue this “journey” with all my gratitude.

Progress in Ionomers
三輪 洋平

<要旨> Recent progress in ionomers is described in this review. In ionomers, ionic groups aggregate with each other and form nanosized aggregations that physically crosslink the polymer chains. Therefore, enhancement of the mechanical strength of polymers was the main motivation for introduction of ionic groups into polymers in past studies. On the other hand, the reversible property of the ionic crosslinks in ionomers is more in focus in recent studies. The design of dynamic ionic networks that autonomically rearrange is one of the important progress in ionomer research. Such dynamic networks enable self-healing and toughening in ionomers. In this review, the perspective of ionomers isdiscussed.
