• Abstract:

  Sodium alginate is a non-toxic polysaccharide widely used in the food and pharmaceutical industries. In the presence of calcium ions it forms a gel that may be used as a coating on pharmaceutical dosage forms. Dry cast (i.e. DC) films were made by evaporation of a sodium alginate solution and immersion of the dry sheet in a calcium chloride..
