Polysaccharide Based Hybrid Materials

Part of the book series: SpringerBriefs in Molecular Science ((BRIEFSBP))

Abstract

The quest to develop alternative eco-friendly materials derived from renewable resources to replace (partially or even totally) petroleum-based materials, is mainly devoted to the exploitation of naturally occurring polymers. In fact, natural polymers have gained the status of building-blocks to engineer multifunctional materials due to their abundance, low cost, biodegradability, biocompatibility and multiple functionalities.
