How the Supramolecular Nature of Lignohumate Affects Its Diffusion in Agarose Hydrogel

Abstract: Lignohumate, as an industrially produced analog of natural humic substances, is studied from the point of view of its diffusion properties. This work focuses on its permeation ability, important in agricultural and horticultural applications, connected with its penetration into plant organs as leaves and roots. The hydrogel based on agarose was used as a model material for the diffusion of lignohumate. Two types of experiments were realized: the diffusion of lignohumate in the hydrogel diffusion couple and the… Show more

“…In this work, the amendment of manure was replaced by lignohumate as the source of organic carbon. It is an industrially produced analog of natural humic substances produced by the thermal processing of technical lignosulfonate, which is based on the oxidation and hydrolytic destruction of lignin-containing raw materials [26][27][28][29]. Due to its smaller molecular size and weight in comparison to humic substances isolated from native sources, it is more soluble and has a similar character to the most active fractions of humic substances dissolved in soil solution [30][31][32][33].…”

“…Based on their excellent degradability, hydrophilicity, biocompatibility, water content, and excellent viscosity and elasticity, hydrogels are now widely used in regenerative medicine and various tissue engineering studies [105][106][107], showing good potential for clinical applications. Previous studies on hydrogels have focused on chemically cross-linked polymer networks to investigate their fundamental characteristics such as swelling/dissolution kinetics and equilibrium [108], difusion of solute [109], sliding friction [110], and volumetric phase transition [111]. In recent years, the focus of hydrogel research has gradually shifted from simple networks to "responsive" networks.…”
