The fraction of secondary particles increased when monomers with higher water solubility and initiators with decreasing water solubility were used.
Increasing CMC concentrations in the cassava starch film decreased water solubility of the blended films.
Increasing concentration of CMC increased tensile strength, reduced elongation at break, and decreased water solubility of the blended films.
Washing out of coating decreases water solubility of quantum dots, increases aggregation speed (Figure 6IIIA) and leads to formation of precipitate (Figure 6IVA).
The equilibrium was attained faster with decreasing water solubility of the co-solvents.
The relative degree of xylan branching could be inferred from the ratio of arabinose to xylose and in the HT polymers this decreased (0.78 in untreated AIR compared to 0.66 in 200°C AIR, respectively), consistent with a decrease in water solubility.
Acetylation and methylation decrease the water solubility of the parent chemical and mask the functional group of the parent chemical, preventing these functional groups from participating in conjugations that increase their excretion.
Besides the intermolecular interaction that occurred between starch and CMC, the decrease in water solubility as a function of CMC concentration could be due to the reduction of the starch concentration itself (as shown in Table 1) in the blended films.
The decrease in water solubility is consistent with previous studies on wheat bran [ 35] and brewers' spent grain [ 20].
We also found that N-methylation enhanced lipophilicity but decreased the water solubility of peptides.
