Polysaccharides appear in every corner of the natural world, they have multiple applications in nature ranging from protection to energy storage. Not surprisingly humanity has taken advantage of their diversity and by doing so created a vast range of materials and applications where polysaccharides can today be found. These include the obvious uses in paper and wood to the less well known abilities of some polysaccharides, such as Chitin to behave as a sterile clotting agent in plasters. We invite you to take a brief look at what we believe could one day be possible if a system to design bespoke polysaccharides existed. |
