Project Type MQP Submission date 2007-04-24 Authors Victoria Briand, CH Scott Tang, CM URN E-project-042407-193739 Center Nancy, France Sponsor ENSIC Title Alginamide Synthesis & Emulsion Preparation Advisors Camesano, Terri Anne, CM Hobey, William D., CH Availability unrestricted Abstract
The objective of this project was to optimize the synthesis of the alginamide polymer and investigate its use as a stabilizer in oil/water emulsions and calcium hydrogels. Two modifications were made to the synthesis in attempts to overcome the undesirable secondary cross-linking reaction. The smallest and most stable emulsion particles resulted from the alginamide with a 24 hr reaction time and added hydrolysis step. This conclusion encourages further investigation of alginamide for use in applications requiring biocompatible polymers
