Influence of direct electric field on PMCG-alginate-based microcapsule by Peter Kasak (1360617)

“…The swelling degree of the microcapsule and microcapsule membrane at different pH and the applied electric current under alkali and acidic conditions was investigated. The swelling degree was influenced by the dissociation of the membrane, which was observed after applying the electric field, which was caused by the electrokinetic effect and the neutralization of the polycation (under alkali conditions) or polyanionic (under acidic conditions) segment during membrane formation.…”

Explanatory Sequential Study of Teachers’ and Students’ Perceptions of Inclusion Provisions for Students with ASD in High Schools in Dubai by ALSHUAIBAT, SUHA MOHAMMAD
