Polysaccharides—An Interdisciplinary Open Access Journal for a Sustainable and Advanced Community
- -
- Advanced methods for the chemical synthesis, derivatization, degradation and extraction of polysaccharides (also oligosaccharides) with an emphasis on regioselectivity and “green” processes (aqueous, enzymatic, (photo)catalytic), avoiding or reducing degradation, waste and yielding chemically well-defined reproducible structures.
- -
- Application of polysaccharides and derivatives or multi-material composites in nutrition and medicine (biomaterials, foods, drugs)
- -
- Processing and shaping of polysaccharide-based materials, either pure or in multi-material blends (e.g., extraction, 3D printing, coating, spinning, extruding, dispersing, precipitating, spraying).
- -
- Critical views on the environmental footprint, sourcing, processing, recycling and (bio)degradation of polysaccharide based materials and their multi-material blends (e.g., food, textiles, packaging, construction) in comparison with existing technologies and with an emphasis on current societal challenges (population and economic growth, ageing, poverty, pollution, mobility, energy, environmental degradation and climate change).
