Characterization of Polysaccharide-based Biodegradable Material

Characterization of Polysaccharide-based Biodegradable Material

CD BioGlyco is a service provider in the field of glycobiology, providing researchers and scientists with the precise techniques needed to meet their material analysis requirements. Our specialized chemical, physical, and biological characterization techniques will contribute to our clients' comprehensive understanding of the various properties of Carbohydrate-based Biodegradable Materials.

Properties of Polysaccharide-based Biodegradable Materials

Polysaccharides are widely studied to develop promising biomedical materials due to their immunomodulatory, anti-tumor, anti-viral, hypoglycaemic, and hypolipidaemic effects. The structure is the basis of polysaccharide-based biomaterials. The type and order of monosaccharide residues, the position of polysaccharide residues, the type of ring structure, and the configuration of glycosidic bonds are among the many factors that contribute to the structural complexity of these materials, resulting in their different functional properties for different biological applications.

Mechanical properties such as modulus of elasticity, modulus of compression, fatigue, and viscoelasticity are also important characteristics that determine the use of polysaccharide-based biomaterials in the body, for example for bone implants and prostheses. Furthermore, the ability of these materials to biodegrade is critical for their use as biomaterials such as tissue scaffolds, implants, drug delivery vectors, and sutures. A combination of chemical, physical, and bioanalytical methods is now commonly used to investigate the full range of properties of polysaccharide-based biomaterials.
