Algin -

: A recent study in the journal ResearchGate evaluates creating composite paper using 50% calcium alginate fibers, which showed improved thermal stability compared to standard wood pulp.

: As a scaffold or dressing material.

Algin is a hydrophilic marine biopolymer derived from brown seaweed. It is composed of unbranched copolymers of β-d-mannuronic acid (M groups) and α-l-guluronic acid (G groups), which give it the ability to form a viscous gel when hydrated—a process crucial for everything from medicine to food science.
