Abstract

In this paper, the volume change on polysaccharide gels in non solvent mixtures is investigated. No phase transition is observed. A reversible decrease of the swelling volume is obtained directly related to the mechanical properties of the gels and to the charge parameters of the polymers. The effect of deswelling in presence of acetone or alcohol is increasing from agarose, k-carrageenan and i-carrageenan.
