A series of homogeneous calcium alginate gels, prepared in the presence of anti-gelling ions, were used to produce a calibration curve relating the spin-spin relaxation time (T.J of the water protons in the gel to the concentration of alginate. This was then used to calculate the spatial variation o

The displacement of the sol/gel interface during the gelation of sodium alginate by calcium ions can be tracked in both one and two dimensions using magnetic resonance imaging . In the one-dimensional gelation experiments, the distance moved by the sol/gel interface was proportional to (time'/ 2), w
Polyelectrolyte biopolymers such as calcium alginate are becoming increasingly important for the recovery of heavy metals from aqueous solutions. To understand the mechanism of ion transport in these biopolymer systems, the transport of copper ions into calcium alginate gels was investigated using p
The diffusivity of a protein solute (bovine serum albumin) within calcium alginate gels made from sodium alginate of different guluronic acid content was determined. It was found that protein diffusion within alginate gels, prepared to be isotropic in structure, was greatest for gels prepared from s
