Advanced Applications of Polysaccharides and their Composites - Paperback

by Amir Al-Ahmed (Editor), Inamuddin (Editor)

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.
