Effect of CO2 release behavior on the crosslinking degree of alginate hydrogels prepared with CaCO3 and carbonated water

Abstract

Carbonated water facilitates the gelation of alginate and CaCO3 solutions. The rapid release of CO2 from the hydrogels after gelation resulted in a faster pH increase, lower amount of CaCO3 dissolution, and lower crosslinking degree. The CO2 release behavior, i.e., “post-gelation condition,” affects the degree of crosslinking, an essential parameter for determining hydrogel properties.
