Ionomeric Films of Alginic Acid

چکیده

Transparent, flexible films could be made by casting aqueous solutions of alginic acid, but they dissolved in water. When films were made from a solution of alginic acid and multivalent ions, they were still water soluble. However, when alginic acid films were immersed in a solution of salts with multivalent ions, they dissolved in water much more slowly, if at all. Treatment with calcium and zinc resulted in films insoluble in water and their tensile strength increased by an order of magnitude. Iron and magnesium ions had little effect on properties of the films. Copper and aluminum showed intermediate effect, but treatment with cupric ion resulted in a fast crosslinking of the surface without affecting the inside of the film. This resulted in the formation of a tube when opposing surfaces were pulled apart.

Preparation of Layer-by-Layer Films Composed of Polysaccharides and Poly(Amidoamine) Dendrimer Bearing Phenylboronic Acid and Their pH- and Sugar-Dependent Stability

Layer-by-layer films composed of polysaccharides and poly(amidoamine) dendrimer bearing phenylboronic acid (PBA-PAMAM) were prepared to study the deposition behavior of the films and their stability in buffer solutions and in sugar solutions. Alginic acid (AGA) and carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) were employed as counter-polymers in constructing LbL films. AGA/PBA-PAMAM films were successfully pre...

Proximate analysis of different groups of irradiated alginic acid

Background: Seaweeds contain significant quantities of lipids, protein, vitamins and minerals. Aquavac Ergosan contains 1% alginic acid extracted from two brown seaweeds, Laminaria digitata and Ascophyllum nodosum. Both in vivo and in-vitro researches have mainly been focused on the effect of Ergosan on fish growth, survival rate, reproductive performance and innate immunity in blood and epider...

Biopolymer-induced calcium phosphate scaling in membrane-based water treatment systems: Langmuir model films studies.

Biofouling and scaling on reverse osmosis (RO) or nanofiltration (NF) membranes during desalination of secondary and tertiary effluents pose an obstacle that limits the reuse of wastewater. In this study we explored the mineral scaling induced by biopolymers originated from bacterial biofilms: bovine serum albumin (BSA), fibrinogen, lysozyme and alginic acid, as well as an extracts of extracell...
