Marine Polysaccharides Based Nano-Materials and Its Applications

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Natural Polymer Drug Delivery Systems

Abstract

Marine polysaccharides and its associated nano-materials are currently considered as an excellent source for nano-technological applications. These applications are broadly categorized in the field of cancer therapy, wound dressing, drug delivery, gene delivery, tissue engineering, water treatment and biosensor. Promising biological functions are due to their structure and physicochemical characteristics, which certainly depend on the source of the organism. Production of marine polysaccharides based nano-materials is simple, economical, biodegradable, and well suggested to be used in the large-scale production of bio-nanomaterials. These polysaccharides are highly biocompatible, biodegradable, nontoxic, low cost, stable, safe, and abundant. Nevertheless the majority of the commercial applications are still at the laboratory level. Moreover in vivo investigations and clinical applications are required to develop industrial nanoproducts. In addition to these applications marine polysaccharide-based nano-materials have various applications biomedical sciences, fabric and food industries, and pharmaceutical industries.
