Effect of charge balancing cations on the viscoelastic and thermal properties of welan

Welan is a branched polymer in the gellan family of polysaccharides. It has good compatibility with divalent calcium ions with a potential use in cementing applications. It is also been utilized as an anti-washout material for underwater concrete placement. Herein, influence of divalent cations Ca2+...
