Tailor-Made Polysaccharides in Biomedical Applications provides extensive details on the vital precepts, basics and fundamental aspects of tailored polysaccharides in pharmaceuticals and biotechnologicals. The utilization of natural polymeric excipients in numerous healthcare applications demands the replacement of synthetic polymers with natural ones due to their biocompatibility, biodegradability, economic extraction and availability. The reality behind the rise in importance of these natural materials is that these sources are renewable if grown in a sustainable means and can tender an incessant supply of raw materials. This book offers a comprehensive resource to understand the potential of the materials in forming new drug delivery methods. It will be useful to biomedical researchers, chemical engineers, regulatory scientists, and students actively involved in pharmaceutical product and process development of tailored-made polysaccharides in biomedical applications.
