J. Bugaj et M. Gorecki, KINETICS OF DYNAMIC VISCOSITY CHANGES OF AQUEOUS SODIUM CARBOXYMETHYLCELLULOSE AND SODIUM ALGINATE SOLUTIONS, Die Pharmazie, 50(11), 1995, pp. 750-752
The aging process of sodium alginate (ALG-Na) and carboxymethylcellulo
se sodium (CMC-Na) solutions was studied in terms of temperature and t
ime. Rheological measurements were performed to characterize ALG-Na an
d CMC-Na solutions. The influence of ionic strength and pH was involve
d in the study. Kinetics of dynamic viscosity changes were described b
y the Arrhenius equation and activation energy was determined.
