Ca(II) and Ce(III) homogeneous alginate hydrogels from the parent alginic acid precursor: A structural study
Alginate hydrogels are suitable for the encapsulation of biomolecules and microorganisms for the building of bioactive materials. Several alternatives to the conventional alginate formulation are being studied for a broad range of biotechnological applications; among them the crosslinking of alginat...
