MICROBIAL POLYSACCHARIDES – THE BASIS FOR NEW GENERATION POLYFUNCTIONAL MATERIALS

Abstract

New generation polyfunctional materials based on such microbial polysaccharides as bacterial cellulose, alginate, xanthan, chitosan have been obtained. The possibility of their application as materials with antibacterial, regenerative and haemostatic properties, ultra-low thermal conductivity, density, high noise-absorbing and sorption properties has been shown.
