“…Unlike the earlier work carried out with flat sheet membranes [31], the measured mass gains are generally lower than those calculated on the basis of the fiber pore volumes and filling solution concentrations, Table 2. The largest discrepancy is found with the large fiber where only half of the expected mass gain was observed.…”

“…The hydraulic conductivity values used in the modelling were in the range of k = 2.4×10 −10 -1.7×10 −6 m s −1 (Zimmermann et al, 2007;Zhou et al, 2005;White and Deen, 2002;Li et al, 2004) and these were chosen to span the likely range for calcium alginate microspheres. Some values out of this range were also considered to investigate their possible effect.…”

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
