| Abstract: | Non-ionic surfactants
mediated biocomposites of
k-carrageenan have
been prepared by incorporating CaCO3 particles generated in situ
under microwave heating. The CaCO3 particles generated in presence
of a sugar surfactant (SUC-PEO) has near spherical shape in comparison to that
prepared in presence of Brij 35. The products have been characterized for their
thermal stability, swellability in aqueous medium, crystallinity and microstructures.
Reasonable degree of porosity is introduced in the biocomposites by chelating
out CaCO3 particles using EDTA. |
