Investigation of the gelation mechanism between amino acid surfactant based microemulsion and kappa-carrageenan gel network
Kappa-carrageenan is one form of necessary hydrocolloid. Hydrocolloids are macromolecular materials, which swell upon absorption of water; in some cases, forming a stiff gel in the presence of additives. This property is very important to suspend nanocarriers into gel network, which provide them lon...
