Advanced Applications of Polysaccharides and their Composites: 73 (Materials Research Foundations)

Polysaccharides and their composites are highly promising materials for food pharmaceutical and biomedical applications; including drug delivery tissue engineering and packaging. Fiber- and nano-reinforced composites are good alternatives to non-biodegradable petroleum‐based polymers. The great advantage of these materials is that they are both environment friendly and nontoxic.
