"Polysaccharides are biologically produced (bio-based) materials that have a unique combination of functional properties and environmentally friendly features. Polysaccharides are also polymers and their long chain structures, as in man-made polymers, provide good mechanical properties for applications such as fibers, films, adhesives, melt processable plastics, thickeners, rheology modifiers, hydrogels, drug delivery agents, emulsifiers, etc. They are renewable materials, produced from other biological compounds, and generally are non-toxic and biodegradable. These features make polysaccharide materials a natural fit for sustainable development. Commercially available products include starch, cellulose and its derivatives (such as cellulose acetate, carboxymethyl cellulose, and methyl cellulose), sodium alginate, xanthan gum, dextran, carrageenan, and hyaluronic acid. Research continues to bring us new materials with improved performance and lower costs. This website is dedicated to promoting the commercial development of polysaccharide materials.
Explore this website and learn more about the chemical and physical properties of polysaccharides, their applications and markets, and commercial sources. Featured below are highlights of recent articles about exciting developments with polysaccharide materials"[1].
