Intrinsic Viscosity of Stud Plant Mucilage (Dicerocaryum Zanguebarium): Polymeric Studies at Infinite Dilution.
Abstract: AbstractStudies on stud plant mucilage (SpM) showed that it constitute of galactose, mannose and xylose and it has a molecular weight of 500kDa. However, the behaviour of the polymer using intrinsic viscosity, in dilute regime, has not been explored. The research investigated the intrinsic viscosity of SpM in water, salt and sugar solutions. Salt solutions has poor solvent properties and hence reduced the intrinsic viscosity of SpM as opposed to …
