The versatility of alginate is a consequence of its behavior in aqueous solution. A variety of cations can combine with the carboxyl groups in alginate resulting in significant changes to its properties and functionality. As a result of this the performance of alginates can be “engineered”. Alginates are transformed rapidly and smoothly through ion-exchange reactions with salts of divalent
