Hydrogel

The objective is to create new transparent synergistic k-Carrageenan/Xanthan gum/Gellan gum (k-C/X/G) hydrogel films with varying weight ratio compositions and investigate how these compositions affect the films' physical characteristics. Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) scanning electron microscopy (SEM) X-ray diffraction (XRD) and UV were used to examine the films' morphological characteristics and structure. The results of the FT-IR UV and SEM analyses demonstrated that k-C X and G clearly interacted to produce a novel material. Water vapor permeability (WVP) water contact angle (WCA) moisture content and other mechanical thermal and water barrier characteristics were measured. At 5% weight reduction (T5%) the temperature falls between 64.2 and 121.9 C.
