The Influence of pH on the Scleroglucan and Scleroglucan/Borax Systems

The Influence of pH on the Scleroglucan and Scleroglucan/Borax Systems

The effects that an increase of environmental pH has on the triple helix of scleroglucan (Sclg) and on the Sclg/borax hydrogel are reported. Rheological experiments show that the hydrogel is less sensitive to pH increase than Sclg alone, while at pH = 14 a dramatic viscosity decrease takes place for...
