Oligosaccharide-based Biodegradable Material Development

Oligosaccharide-based Biodegradable Material Development

Client Satisfaction with Oligosaccharide-based Material Development Service Is Our Motivation

CD BioGlyco achieves the development of good Biodegradable Materials by modifying or blending multiple carbohydrates. Oligosaccharides including alginate oligosaccharide and cyclodextrin are ideal compounds for developing biodegradable materials. We provide a one-stop service for the development of biodegradable materials based on oligosaccharides from design, preparation, and optimization to characterization.

    • Other preparation strategies
  • Our preparation process

After determining the application requirements of the material, we choose a suitable method to prepare biodegradable materials. Oligosaccharide concentration, functional groups, structure, etc., may all affect the properties of the prepared materials. During the development process, we always perform various physicochemical analyses, such as X-ray diffraction, infrared spectroscopy, mechanical analysis, thermal analysis, etc., to evaluate the effect of concentration, etc., on the material properties. At the same time, we also evaluate the biological properties of the materials including antimicrobial activity, biocompatibility, etc., by testing them. In the development process, we also mix oligosaccharides with other carbohydrates to further improve the performance of biodegradable materials.

Results: In the present study, a chemically cross-linked poly (vinyl alcohol)/chitosan oligosaccharide film was prepared by solvent casting method. Characterization of the film showed that the film has a smooth surface without any pores and cracks. Also, the film showed excellent biocompatibility and good antimicrobial activity against model organisms. poly (vinyl alcohol)/chitosan oligosaccharide films can be used as biocompatible matrices for drug delivery. This study provides data support for the development of biodegradable materials based on oligosaccharides.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • What are the factors affecting the degradation of biodegradable materials?

A variety of factors influence the degradation rate of biopolymers in nature, including their functional groups, polymer chains, crystallinity, and chemical structure. At the same time, oxygen, pH, and temperature also play an important role in biodegradation.

  • Why are biodegradable materials important for sustainable development?

Biodegradable materials have properties similar to those of traditional plastic materials and can also provide other benefits. When biodegradable materials are handled with proper waste management, their impact on carbon dioxide in the environment is minimized.
