Characterisation of small molecules diffusion in hydrogel-membrane liquid-core capsules.
TL;DR: The overall diffusion coefficients for several low molecular weight solutes have been determined in Ca-alginate membrane liquid-core capsules using the unsteady-state method following the release of solutes from the capsules to a well-stirred solution of limited volume.

Diffusion coefficients of glucose and ethanol in cell‐free and cell‐occupied calcium alginate membranes
TL;DR: The diffusivities of glucose and ethanol in cell‐free and cell‐occupied membranes of calcium alginate were measured and agreed closely with the inverse ratio of the hydrodynamic raii for the two molecules in water, indicating that thehydrodynamic theory of diffusion in liquids may be applicable to diffusion in dilute alginates gels.
