Strong deformation of ferrofluid-filled elastic alginate capsules in inhomogenous magnetic fields
, 2018 We present a new system based on alginate gels for the encapsulation of a ferrofluid drop, which allows us to create millimeter-sized elastic capsules that are highly deformable by inhomogeneous magnetic fields.

Effect of different concentrations of xanthan and alginate on the quality of encapsulated fish oil
Majallah-i ̒Ilmī-i Shīlāt-i Īrān, 2017 The aim of this study was to evaluate encapsulation efficiency of fish oil using different combinations of xanthan and sodium alginate (core-wall ratio of 1:2). Experimental treatments were consisted of xanthan 1%, Alginate 1%, xanthan 0.75% + Alginate 0.

Solar-driven carbon dioxide fixation using photosynthetic semiconductor bio-hybrids. [PDF]
, 2019 Solar-driven conversion of carbon dioxide to value-added carbon products is an ambitious objective of ongoing research efforts. However, high overpotential, low selectivity and poor CO2 mass transfer plague purely inorganic electrocatalysts.

Alginate modification using n-butanol for red fruit (Pandanus conoideus) oil encapsulation
AIMS Agriculture and FoodRed fruit oil, rich in fatty acids, is prone to oxidation, reducing its shelf life. Encapsulation using modified alginate can enhance its stability. Alginate, a natural emulsifier, requires hydrophobic modification due to its hydrophilic nature for oil ...
