Combining low viscosity alginic acid with calcium phosphate cement (CPC) confers 3 functional improvements in artificial bones – shorter setting time, increased compressive strength, and ...

Alginic acid has been widely used in the medical field for procedures such as, cell immobilization, drug delivery, and wound dressing. However, there have been limited studies in conjunction with CPC.

One over-the-counter medication, Gaviscon, uses alginic acid — found in bladderwrack — in combination with magnesium carbonate to treat heartburn and GERD. However, ...

Alginic acid also promotes smoother digestion. It can help soothe digestive irritation. The mucilage in bladderwrack—a gel-like substance—can benefit individuals with gastritis or indigestion ...

Primarily derived from seaweed, these nonwoven, nonadhesive dressings comprise calcium salts of alginic acid. Fibers are spun into pads and ropes. As the dry fibers come in contact with wound ...

BELIEVING that the usual methods of acetylation give degraded products, Wassermann1 has attempted to acetylate alginic acid with ketene. By this means he succeeded in introducing approximately one ...

DRY seaweed contains 15–40 per cent of alginic acid1, which is readily extracted with sodium carbonate solution2. Sodium alginate was available in powder form before the War, but no serious ...

The trio focused their research on alginic acid, a dietary fiber that causes sliminess in seaweeds such as tangle and “wakame.” The students initially tried to make plastic from alginic acid ...
