Dilute iota- and kappa-Carrageenan solutions with high viscosities in high salinity brines
We evaluated the rheological characteristics of ι- and κ-Carrageenan in aqueous solutions. Viscosities strongly increased with increasing polymer concentration or salinity. Monovalent Na+ cations were more effective in increasing viscosity than divalent Ca2+ cations. A more complex brine containing...
