Resum: Beads based on a mannuronate(M)-rich alginate (86 % M units) were prepared by adding the polysaccharide solution to a crosslinking bath containing different concentrations (0.5, 2 and 10 wt%) of XCl2 where X = Ca, Cu or Zn. Primarily focus was on Zn, due to its antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and anti-microbial capabilities. The beads were characterized by Field-Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy (FESEM), Fourier-Transform Infra-Red spectroscopy (FT-IR), Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA), Small-Angle X-ray Scattering (SAXS) and compression tests. The crosslinking agent significantly influenced the properties of the resulting beads. Specifically, Ca-based beads exhibited a smoother surface, while Cu- and Zn-based beads appeared rougher. Interestingly, Zn-based beads displayed a core-shell structure. Young moduli ranged from 3500 and 7000 MPa, with the highest values observed for Zn-beads. SAXS investigation at 0.5 wt% XCl2 suggested increase in the densely packed domains amount in the order: Ca < Cu < Zn. Extended X-ray Absorption Fine Structure (EXAFS) showed that the coordination number was 4.3 ± 0.4 for Cu, and 4.0 ± 0.2 and 1.1 ± 0.1 for Zn in 0.5 wt% XCl2 alginate xerogels, in agreement with reported Density Functional Calculations on Cu2+- and Zn2+-MM complexes. The results from FT-IR, compositional analysis and EXAFS collectively suggested a bridging coordination for these systems.Copyright © 2023. Published by Elsevier B.V.
