Poly(acrylic acid)

(9003-01-4)
Poly(acrylic acid) (PAA or Carbomer) is generic name for synthetic high molecular weight polymers of acrylic acid. They may be homopolymers of acrylic acid, crosslinked with an allyl ether pentaerythritol, allyl ether of sucrose or allyl ether of propylene. In a water solution at neutral pH, PAA is an anionic polymer, i.e. many of the side chains of PAA will lose their protons and acquire a negative charge. This makes PAAs polyelectrolytes, with the ability to absorb and retain water and swell t

Dextran sulfate sodium

(9011-18-1)

Dextran sulfate is a polyanionic derivative of dextran produced by esterification of Dextran with chlorosulphonic acid. The sulfur content is approximately 17% which corresponds to an average of 1.9 sulfate groups per glucosyl residue of the dextran molecule. Dextran sulfate sodium (DSS) is the sodium salt which is a white to off-white powder freely soluble in water and salt solutions to form a stable, clear solution. The high purity and reproducible quality enables its application in ph

Gel forming refers to the process of transforming a liquid preparation into a semi-solid gel with elastic properties. According to the mechanism of gel formation, gel formers can be categorized into physical gelling agents, such as polymers and colloidal particles, which create a network structure to trap liquid, and chemical gelling agents, such as cross-linking agents, which induce chemical reactions to solidify the liquid. According to the source, gel formers can be natural, derived from plant extracts, or synthetic, developed through chemical synthesis. "Gel forming agents" on ECHEMl mainly supply raw materials for gel forming.

More Information

Gel-forming agents are commonly used ingredients in cosmetics, imparting a gel-like texture to products. The principle behind gel-forming agents involves the formation of a three-dimensional network structure to trap water or other solvents, thereby giving products their gel-like consistency. This network structure is formed through interactions between molecules of the gel-forming agent, typically including chemical bonds, electrostatic forces, hydrogen bonds, or van der Waals forces.

When the gel-forming agent is mixed with a solvent, its molecules intertwine to create a mesh-like structure within the solvent, akin to a spider's web. This network effectively traps the solvent within it, resulting in a stable gel state. This gel state provides the product with a certain viscosity and flowability while preventing it from flowing or separating.

Common ingredients of gel-forming agents:

•Polymers

•Cellulose derivatives

•Silicones
