Every year, thousands of tons of brown algae are extracted from the seabed to obtain compounds such as alginates, a polymer composed of sugars that has high density and strength, offering potential ...

Researchers have deciphered the mechanism by which a type of enzyme, called alginate lyase, is capable of degrading these ...

If those small molecules are sugars, the polymer is called a polysaccharide. Sodium alginate is a polysaccharide found in brown seaweed. It consists of long chains of tiny clusters of sugars. On a ...

The global antimicrobial polymer films market is projected to grow at a robust CAGR of 5.7% between 2024 and 2034, rising ...

This is called cross-linking. The connected strands of calcium alginate form the jelly-like outside of the pod. The water is trapped inside the pod as the crosslinked polymer forms on the teaspoon ...
