Recent Developments on the Application of Carbohydrate Polymers
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Applied Chemistry (IOSR-JAC) - Year 2018, Vol 11, Issue 7
Abstract
The increased awareness of the effects of the use of harmful raw materials and their associated toxicity to the environment and humans have necessitated the current drive for the development of environmentally-friendly and cost-effective raw materials. The reported depletion of the fossil fuel reserves of nations and the impending economic impact has also shifted the focus of industrialisednations to the use of renewable raw materials. Carbohydrate polymers, like cellulose and starch, provide unique opportunity to explore raw material from renewable sources that pose norisk to the environment because they are products ofnatural processes such as plant metabolisms. These materials have shown unique properties and compared favourably with raw materials from other sources in even high technology applications. This reviewexaminednovel applications of carbohydrate polymers in industrial processes like adsorption, corrosion inhibition, catalysis, drug delivery systems and fuel cells.
