Ionic gelation
The reaction between ions of opposite charge begins the cross-linking process.
Ionotropic gelation occurs when an ionic polymer interacts with another of opposite charge. Here, cross-linking begins. This phenomenon involves the production of hydrogels characterized by a spherical shape in which hydrophilic and lipophilic components can be efficiently trapped inside the capsule.
