β¦ Synopsis
The procedure for preparation of polyethyleneimine (PEl)-alginate gel and some of its physical properties are presented. The rigidity modulus (G) of the gel appears to increase to the second power of PEI concentration. Shrinkage is linearly related to pH up to pH 6.0. G increases as the pH is lowered, and decreases after freezing. The gels does not dissolve on heating and are strong, but fairly brittle. They are resistant to proteolytic enzymes.

## Abstract This article described a study on the gelβforming abilities of a number of different types of alginate fibers. The gelling abilities were assessed through the measurement on the release of calcium ions from the fibers and the absorption capacities in water and 0.9% saline solution. The
## Abstract Columns of calcium alginate gel pellets have excellent physical properties when used as a cell immobilization support. Columns of pellets were very resistant to compression and abrasion during passage of high concentrations of sucrose at high flow rates, but if the pellets were formed u
