Full text | Abstract: The effect of ceramic nanoadditives, such as nanosilica, montmorillonite, hydroxyapatite, calcium triphosphate and bioglass, on the rheological properties of aqueous sodium alginate solutions was studied. The influence of the nanoadditives on changes in rheological parameters n and k was determined. The mechanism of the rheological behaviour of spinning solutions containing the nanoadditives is explained. Furthermore, the effect of the rheological properties on the formation process of nanocomposite alginate fibres is described. |
