Shaping and Transformation in the Engineering of Polysaccharides (STEP)
Start date: Oct 1, 2008, End date: Sep 30, 2012,
Naturally occurring polysaccharides constitute the largest segment of all available polymers, and hence exhibit the greatest potential as renewable, sustainable, and eco-friendly replacements for man-made polymers derived from fossil-resources. That this potential remains untapped to a large degree is testament to the inherent challenges in converting polysaccharides from natural sources to forms ...
