Hydrogels from polymer for biomedical applications by Teo, Man Ru

“…The effect of the Ca2+ or Mg2+ on the thermoreversible gelation properties of kappa-carrageenan were studied using mirco-differential scanning calorimetry (micro-DSC) and rheology. The use of micro-differential scanning calorimetry shed light on the formation and melting thermal reversibility of kappa-carrageenan with the addition of Ca2+ and Mg2+ ions. …”
