Products from seaweeds [PDF]

open access: yes, 2003
Seaweeds constitute one of the commercially important marine living renewable resources. They are the only source for the production of phytochemicals such as agar, agarose, carrageenan and algin which are widely used in various industries as gelling,

Cat‐Vibrissa‐Inspired Biomass Fiber Aerogels for Flexible and Highly Sensitive Sensors in Monitoring Human Sport

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Inspired by cat vibrissae, biomimetic biomass PHFs/SA aerogels (BFAs) are developed via precursor‐assisted in situ polymerization and freeze‐synergistic assembly. These ultralight, porous pressure sensors exhibit high sensitivity and excellent durability, enabling pulse detection, handwriting recognition, Morse code transmission, and notably real‐time ...

Composition of Aiginates from Brown Seaweeds, Sargassum and Padina spp. [PDF]

open access: yes, 1988
The percentage yield of alginate in brown seaweeds, Sargassum and Padina spp., from Sabah, and the intrinsic viscosities of these alginates were determined. Young and mature Sargassum, respectively, gave 35% and 32%, while Pad ina only yielded 18.5% of

Reconfigurable Microenvironments Uncover Mechano‐Sensing Timescales and Direct Cell Polarity

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A synthetic DNA‐crosslinked cell culture matrix enables control over the mechanical microenvironment surrounding cells. Independent tuning of stiffness and stress relaxation uncovers distinct timescales of mechano‐sensing that regulate cell behavior.

Batch and continuous flow systems during the acid pre-extraction stage in the alginate extraction process

open access: yesCiencias Marinas, 1995
Acid pre-extraction in the production process of alginates was investigated in two stages using Macrocystis pyrifera as raw material. In the first stage, the possibility of reducing the normality of the hydrochloric acid used in a continuous flow system

The potential health benefits of seaweed and seaweed extract [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Edible seaweeds have historically been consumed by coastal populations across the globe. Today, seaweed is still part of the habitual diet in many Asian countries. Seaweed consumption also appears to be growing in popularity in Western cultures, due both

Paradigm shift for preparing versatile M2+-free gels from unmodified sodium alginate [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
This manuscript describes a new route to prepare rapidly Ca2+-free hydrogels from unmodified sodium alginate by simply mixing with small organic molecules such as poly(carboxylic acid) compounds as cross-linker agents instead of classical divalent metal ...

Smart, Bio‐Inspired Polymers and Bio‐Based Molecules Modified by Zwitterionic Motifs to Design Next‐Generation Materials for Medical Applications

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Bio‐based and (semi‐)synthetic zwitterion‐modified novel materials and fully synthetic next‐generation alternatives show the importance of material design for different biomedical applications. The zwitterionic character affects the physiochemical behavior of the material and deepens the understanding of chemical interaction mechanisms within the ...

Metabolites of Seaweeds as Potential Agents for the Prevention and Therapy of Influenza Infection

open access: yesMarine Drugs, 2019
Context: Seaweed metabolites (fucoidans, carrageenans, ulvans, lectins, and polyphenols) are biologically active compounds that target proteins or genes of the influenza virus and host components that are necessary for replication and reproduction of the
