Abstracts

EN

Polysaccharides are macromolecular polymers that manifest ability toward the forming of fibres, film and coatings. Some of their specific properties like biodegradability and biocompatibility make them suitable for medical application. Chitin, chitosan and alginates are basic polymers mostly used in the preparation of medical biomaterials. In the Institute of Biopolymers and Chemical Fibres (IBWCh) multidirectional investigations are in full swing concerned with the use medical of polysaccharides and their various useful forms. The research includes amongst: multifunctional dressing materials, implants and other polysaccharide biomaterials.
