Symposium Information
With the need to develop green materials, fuels and products within the polymeric industry, this symposium will address the following areas:
- Structure and fundamental chemical and physical properties of polysaccharides
- Nanotechnology of polysaccharides
- Potential and present technological applications of polysaccharides. Particular areas will be in the biotechnology fields (biomaterials, biofuels, composites).
- Characterisation techniques such as X-ray and neutron diffraction, spectroscopy (IR, Raman and NMR), with emphasis on the new developments in the field
- Rheological properties of polysaccharides in the food industry
- New processing routes such as electrospinning
