Understanding the rheology of novel guar-gellan gum composite hydrogels
Source abstract
Abstract
Abstract Hydrogels are hydrophilic polymeric materials, prepared from either synthetic or natural macromolecules. However, synthetic hydrogels are now gradually being replaced with natural hydrogels owing to their non-toxicity, biocompatibility and biodegradability. The present work focused on synthesizing novel composite hydrogels of guar gum and gellan. The synthesized guar-gellan composite hydrogels were further characterized rheologically to understand their functional properties. Arrhenius and power law models were fitted for elucidation of their steady flow behavior. Interestingly the guar-gellan composite hydrogels showed remarkable stability and maintained elasticity at high temperatures and angular frequency. The comprehensive analysis of rheological data of novel guar-gellan gum composite hydrogels suggested their potential advantages over gellan gum and its applicability in diverse industrial sectors.
