- Description
- Cellulose is the most abundant biopolymer found in nature. It is chemically highly stable – this is a characteristic that dictates its processing and utilization. Furthermore, cellulose is biodegradable and well-tolerated in medical applications. This seminar provides an overview of the cellulose research carried out at the Institute for Plant and Wood Chemistry. This presentation will introduce the synthesis of biologically active cellulose derivatives and their various applications. It will also demonstrate how cellulose materials are converted into nanostructures and outline the methods used to characterize them. Cellulose can be reshaped into regenerated forms, such as bead cellulose, via a solution-phase process. These materials can serve as inert carriers for active agents and as precursors for new structures.
