Mary, Sabu Thomas, Laly A. Pothan1st ed. 2019.Cham :Springer International Publishing :Imprint: Springer,2019.1 online resource (IX, 57 p. 27 illus., 14 illus. in color.) Biobased Polymers,2510-34073-030-03157-8 Introduction -- Processing Techniques -- Properties of composites -- Applications of polysaccharide based composites -- Conclusion -- References.This brief explores recent progress in the area of polysaccharides and their composites and nanocomposites. It is a complete resource for the evolving field of polysaccharide based biomaterials and their applications in different fields. The volume focuses on their composition, properties, characterization, chemistry and applications and also highlights recent developments in polysaccharide based composites and nanocomposites spurred by advances in polymer technology and biotechnology. Divided into different sections featuring alginates, carrageenans, cellulose, starch, chitin, chitosan, gums, etc, each chapter presents chemical, physical, and biological attributes, and reviews the recent research performed such as drug carriers, selective water absorption materials from oil-water emulsions, purification of water, biomedical applications, etc. The authors hope that this brief will help to inspire scientists towards novel sources for chemicals, materials, and energy in the years to come.Biobased Polymers,2510-3407Polymers  BiomaterialsNanotechnologyPharmaceutical technologySustainable developmentPolymer Scienceshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/C22008Biomaterialshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/Z13000Nanotechnologyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/Z14000Pharmaceutical Sciences/Technologyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/B21010Sustainable Developmenthttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/U34000Polymers  .Biomaterials.Nanotechnology.Pharmaceutical technology.Sustainable development.Polymer Sciences.Biomaterials.Nanotechnology.Pharmaceutical Sciences/Technology.Sustainable Development.541.2254620.115Thomas Merin Saraauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut1062605Koshy Rekha Roseauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/autMary Siji Kauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/autThomas Sabuauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/autA.
