Tell students that they will combine two solutions in a particular way to make a single gel worm. The ingredients in the solution which react chemically are sodium alginate and calcium chloride. Both ...

Two biocompatible polyelectrolytes, sodium alginate (NaAlg) and calcium chloride (CaCl 2), were chemically reacted to form a calcium alginate hydrogel with three-dimensional network structure, which ...

now rich with sodium alginate, is gently dropped into a bath of calcium chloride. The calcium ions present in the solution react with the sodium alginate molecules, causing them to cross-link and ...

Herein, we report an environmentally benign sodium alginate gel being used as a biopolymer template to synthesize copper sulfide (CuS) nanostructures at the gel–liquid interface. The driving force for ...

Journaux and his colleagues describe two new solid, icy combinations of two of the most common substances found on Earth: water and sodium chloride, better known as table salt. The newly ...

The effects of calcium ... with the sodium alginate only groups, the incorporation of calcium did not significantly reduce the glucose release compared with the control group. The likely explanation ...

To determine the effect of PVA concentration on the ammonia nitrogen removal ability of immobilized ammonium-oxidizing bacteria, the following immobilization conditions were employed: 1.1% sodium ...
