From healing wounds to resorbable electronics, levan can fill bioadhesive roles in scores of markets.

摘要: Levan is a fructose homopolysaccharide which gained attention recently for its unusual combination of properties distinguishing it from other natural biodegradable polysaccharides like chitosan, cellulose or starch. Among the strongest bioadhesives, film-forming levan garnering interest role in some simple solutions to difficult problems. One these illustrated by elegant research using laser-based techniques construct films healing wounds and burned tissue. Another development bioresorbable electronic implants. has been found habitats as diverse salterns thermal waters tropical plants sugar factories. This review low viscosity, adhesive describes mechanisms forms bonds reasons behind practical industrial applications. Here we present descriptions literature feasible approaches ready transition laboratory those searching answers fields varied medicine, packaging furniture assembly.
