After measuring the optical density (OD600nm) of the overnight bacterial culture, supernatants were collected after centrifugation (15 min at 6000 rpm) and kept at −20 °C. SCFA were measured as previously described [35 (link),38 (link)] with slight modifications. Briefly, after the addition of the SCFA standards, each sample was acidified and then extracted using diethyl ether (Biosolve, Dieuze, France), with gentle stirring for 1 h and centrifugation for 2 min at 5000 rpm at 4 °C. The organic layers were derivatized using tert-butyldimethylsilyl imidazole (Sigma-Aldrich), and samples were incubated for 30 min at 60 °C before analysis by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS 7890A-5975C; Agilent Technologies, Montpellier, France) using a 30 m × 0.25 mm × 0.25 µm capillary column (HP1-MS; Agilent Technologies), as previously described [35 (link)]. The SCFA concentrations were reported at the mean concentrations divided by the optical density of the culture and expressed as mean ± SEM.

In total,
0.013 mol of 1-bromohexadecane (Sigma-Aldrich, 98.0%) and 0.016 mol
of 1,2-dimethylimidazole (Sigma-Aldrich, 97.0%) were dissolved in
a 50 mL mixture of ethanol (Biosolve, 99.9%) and acetonitrile (Biosolve,
99.9%) (1:5 molar ratio) and heated at 70 °C for 16 h under nitrogen
atmosphere. After evaporation of the solvents and addition of diethyl
ether (Biosolve, 99.5%), a white powder precipitated out of solution.
This solid product was filtered and dried in a vacuum oven at 50 °C
for 12 h. The purity of the organic surfactant C16H33-[1,2-dimethyl-3-imidazolium] was analyzed by 1H, 13C, gHSQC, and gCOSY NMR after dissolution in CDCl3 (Figures S1–S4). The product
yield was 75%.

Synthesis and Characterization of Trimethylene Carbonate-Based Adhesives

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Trimethylene carbonate adhesives were synthesized in a two-step reaction as described and validated previously (Bochyńska et al., 2013 ). Briefly, ring-opening polymerization was performed on TMC initiated by PEG with Sn(Oct)2 as a catalyst. The molar ratios, 4:1 and 6:1 for TMC2 and TMC3, resulted in two and three TMC moieties on each end of the PEG molecule, respectively (Figure 1). Oligomers were added dropwise to a volume of HDI under a flow of nitrogen to ensure an excess of HDI and an inert environment. Excess HDI was removed by precipitation in dry diethyl ether and the PEG400-(TMC3-HDI)2 was dried in a vacuum.
The chemicals were purchased from the following vendors: TMC from ForYou (China); HDI from Merck Schuchardt (Germany); diethyl ether from Biosolve (the Netherlands); PBS from B Braun Melsungen AG (Germany); and PEG (Mw = 400 g mol−1), acetic anhydride, stannous octoate (tin 2-ethylhexanoate, SnOct2) and chloroform-d (CDCl3) from Sigma Aldrich (the Netherlands). PEG was dried at 120 °C under vacuum, and diethyl ether was dried over molecular sieves prior to use.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
