Biopolymers and Biomaterials

Marine Biopolymers Based Nanomaterials

Marine biopolymer-based Nano materials are research areas in recent decades for theranostic applications. These bio polymers used in bio material clinical applications because of they have a good biocompatibility, bio degradability, inexpensiveness, stability, ease of surface modification, and nontoxic nature. Marine organisms established by materials with a massive range of properties and characteristics that may explain their potential applications within the biomedical field. These are assuring for sustainable exploitation of natural marine resources. The use of marine bio polymer-based Nano materials for theranostic applications addressing potential applications in drug delivery and photo thermal therapy etc. Biopolymers such as silk fibroins, collagen, gelatin, albumin, starch, cellulose and chitosan can be easily made for delivery of vehicles and as well as for macro and mini drug molecules.
