 Full text | Abstract: Conditions were found for the manufacture of zinc alginate fibres with a silica (SiO2) nanoadditive based on earlier studies involving nanocomposite zinc alginate fibres with a TCP nanoadditive.In this study, we determined the effect of the basic parameters of the forming process, such as the as-spun draw ratio and associated deformation at the drawing stage, on the porous and supramolecular structure as well as sorption and strength properties of zinc alginate fibres with nanoadditive SiO2. A comparative analysis was made of the structure and properties of fibres containing nanoadditives tricalcium phosphate (TCP) and SiO2. The effect of the type of nanoadditive on the structure and properties of the fibres studied was determined.mag |
