A note on the effect of calcium alginate coating on quality of refrigerated strawberries. [PDF]
peer-reviewedAn alginate-based edible coating was investigated for the preservation of the quality of strawberries during cold storage (5 °C). Strawberries were immersed, successively, in sodium alginate and calcium chloride solutions to generate a ...

A flexible one-pot route to metal/metal oxide nanocomposites [PDF]
We report a one-pot route to Au/CeO2 nanocomposites. A readily-available biopolymer, sodium alginate, is exploited for controlled formation and stabilisation of gold nanoparticles followed by in situ growth of a sponge-like network of CeO2 nanoparticles.

Ion sieving by a two-dimensional Ti3C2Tx alginate lamellar membrane with stable interlayer spacing
Two-dimensional membranes attract extensive interest due to the anomalous transport phenomena; however, the ion separation performance is below the theoretical prediction. The stabilization of d-spacing is a key step for enhancing ion selectivity.
