If those small molecules are sugars, the polymer is called a polysaccharide. Sodium alginate is a polysaccharide found in brown seaweed. It consists of long chains of tiny clusters of sugars. On a ...

Abstract: Over recent years a considerable amount of effort has been devoted, both in industry and academia, towards the incorporation of various macro, micro and nano sized fillers into polymers.

Studying the biological roles of plant polysaccharides, polymer abundance and interactions, and their structural complexity enables a better understanding of plant growth, development, production of ...

Article Views are the COUNTER-compliant sum of full text article downloads since November 2008 (both PDF and HTML) across all institutions and individuals. These metrics are regularly updated to ...

grafted polymers, multilayer systems, etc. The interactions and assemblies of the different components allow the control of the final features of such materials. Traditionally, polysaccharides, with ...

LPMO enzymes are capable of cleaving polysaccharide chains through a strong ... and facilitates the recruitment of PETases to the polymer, improving their interaction with the substrate.
