To modify the rigid structure of alginate, polyvinyl alcohol was mixed. Rheological properties and viscoelastic properties of the polymer blend solution were investigated. Complex and shear viscosity and tangent delta of the solution were obtained to find optimum condition of spinning dope. Effect of blend ratio on morphology and property change was investigated.
