- W2800893203 abstract "Carbohydrate backbone-based polysaccharide biomaterials have been the current research target in the field of material science and engineering. Polysaccharides constitute an important component of life matter and exhibit excellent characteristics such as biodegradability and biocompatibility, which are the typical features of polymers application as biomaterials. The interest toward polysaccharides as biomaterials is increasing continuously during the past decade owing to their applications in pharmaceuticals, biomedical use, food supplements, and cosmetics. This chapter introduces the aspects of natural polysaccharides as biomaterials and their applications. Polymeric biomaterials obtained from diverse origins are given, and their main properties and structure are summarized along with their chemically modified derivatives. Currently, widely used polysaccharides in the field of pharmaceutical and biomedical applications are chitin and its derivative chitosan, alginate, and hyaluronan. Alginate from seaweeds are acknowledged for their superior gel-forming properties with divalent counterions like calcium, barium, etc. Gellan and xanthan are from the bacterial source. Carrageenan is derived from seaweed. It forms a unique thermoreversible gel and is widely used to encapsulate different materials. Chitin is derived from crustacean shells and chitosan is made from chitin. Other advancements include the formation of polyelectrolyte complexes, which are produced by mixing an anionic polysaccharide with a cationic polysaccharide. An important advancement in the applications of polysaccharide in recent years to polysaccharide structure in the human body in relation to their intrinsic properties such as biodegradability and biocompatibility opens interest toward polysaccharides involving biomaterials science in the way. They are renewable in nature and have wide physical properties and are easy to fabricate into different forms such as capsules, beads, films, and fibers." @default.
