“…For alginate aqueous solutions, a range of 0.3 -3.0 has been reported16 for k', depending on the compositional and sequential structure of the samples, and ionic strength of the solvents. The values of' k' and k" obtained in this study are very close to those ( h' = 0.421 and k" = 0.123) recently reported by Martinsen et al 17 for an alginate sample with M / G = 1.4 in 0.1M aqueous NaCl at 25°C. A value of k' = 0.50 was measuredz4 for another polysaccharide, scleroglucan, a t 30°C and remained unchanged within experimental errors from 30 to 150°C.…”

Several rheological properties of aqueous alginate solution have been investigated in the absence and presence of four divalent cations: Ca, Cu, Mn, and Co. The concentration dependence of viscosity in alginate solution without addition of divalent cations shows a similar behavior to that found for other polysaccharides and synthetic polymers. We have found that for Ca( 11) -added systems, sol-gel transition curves for different alginate concentrations can be superimposed over the concentration range of this study by using a normalized parameter. Shear-thinning behavior has been observed for all the alginate so: lutions by addition of four divalent cations over sol-gel transition process. The values of exponent b in the power-law relation 17 cc + * were found in the range of -0.3 --0.6. It is suggested that a considerable portion of divalent cations remains in a cross-linking state even under shear flow. The results obtained from thixotropy measurements indicate the existence of a major framework formed in the gel-like and well-gelled samples, which can be maintained until shear rate (or shear stress) reaches a threshold value. 0 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
