20140338564 | ALGINATE MONOMER STRUCTURE WITH METAL CRYSTALLITE EMBEDDED, ALGINATE SALT STRUCTURE WITH METAL CRYSTALLITE EMBEDDED AND METHOD OF PRODUCING ALGINATE HYDROGEL WITH METAL CRYSTALLITE INCORPORATED - An alginate monomer structure with metal crystallite embedded includes a first alginate monomer and at least a first metal crystallite. The first alginate monomer is composed of a first uronate molecule and a second uronate molecule, which are linked linearly to each other. A first carbonyl group is formed on a second carbon atom (C2) of the main ring in the first uronate molecule, a carboxyl group is presented on a sixth carbon atom (C6) of the main ring in the second uronate molecule, and a first intramonomer glycosidic linkage is presented between a first carbon atom (C1) of the main ring in the first uronate molecule and a fourth carbon atom (C4) of the main ring in the second uronate molecule. The first metal crystallite is associated between the first uronate molecule and the second uronate molecule. | 11-20-2014 |
