Abstract The authors devised conditions for the formation of nanocomposite calcium alginate fibers containing tricalcium phosphate (TCP) or montmorillonite (MMT). rheological, sorptive, and strength properties these fibers, as well their porous supramolecular structures were subjected to analysis. It has been concluded that presence nanoadditives in material decreases susceptibility distortion drawing stage. obtained are characterized by an even distribution nanoadditive on fiber surface.
