• Fabrication of κ-Carrageenan Fibers by Wet Spinning: Spinning Parameters 

  Kong, Lingyan; Ziegler, Gregory R. (2011-10-11)

  This study demonstrates the fabrication of κ-carrageenan fibers by a wet-spinning method and discusses three important spinning parameters: coagulation bath composition, spinning rate and post-spinning mechanical drawing. ...
• Characterization of Starch Polymorphic Structures Using Vibrational Sum Frequency Generation Spectroscopy 

  Kong, Lingyan; Lee, Christopher; Kim, Seong H.; Ziegler, Gregory R. (2014-01-16)

  The polymorphic structures of starch were characterized with vibrational sum frequency generation (SFG) spectroscopy. The noncentrosymmetry requirement of SFG spectroscopy allows for the detection of the ordered domains ...
• Role of Molecular Entanglements in Starch Fiber Formation by Electrospinning 

  Kong, Lingyan; Ziegler, Gregory R. (2012-06-18)

  We have demonstrated a method of fabricating pure starch fibers with an average diameter in the order of micrometers. In the present study, correlation between the rheological properties of starch dispersions and the ...
• Starch-guest inclusion complexes: Formation, structure, and enzymatic digestion 

  Tan, Libo; Kong, Lingyan (2019-01-07)

  Starch/amylose-guest inclusion complexes, a class of supramolecular host-guest assemblies, are of critical importance in the processing, preservation, digestion, nutrients/energy uptake, and health outcomes of starch-containing ...
• Molecular encapsulation of ascorbyl palmitate in preformed V-type starch and amylose 

  Kong, Lingyan; Ziegler, Gregory R. (2014-10-13)

  In the present study, we introduce a simple method to prepare inclusion complexes by “inserting” guest molecules into preformed “empty” V-type amylose helices. Ascorbyl palmitate (AscP) was used as a model guest material ...
