Popis: | The release of sodium polystyrene sulfonate (SPS) from calcium alginate hydrogel beads has been studied. It has been shown that the structure of the cross-linked calcium alginate network is of primary importance in the retention and/or release of the SPS. This has been evidenced by studying the influence of Ca 2+ concentration, molar masses ( M n ) and the ratio of mannuronic acid/guluronic acid components. A minimum in the SPS release is observed in relation with the organization of the network structure. Conditions inducing the organization of a strong gel (e.g. high Ca 2+ concentration for example) are not always related to a low release. A good control of release is found when a compromise between a well-structured hydrogel and sterical consideration of SPS is reached. |
