Starch is the most important energy‐providing component of food. It is useful for maintaining
the structural and rheological consistency of food, ad thus, in turn, is responsible for …

Linear d‐glucans are natural polysaccharides of simple chemical structure. They are
comprised of d‐glucosyl units linked by a single type of glycosidic bond. Noncovalent …

Polysaccharides are the most important renewable polymers on Earth and hold an
enormous potential for the production of ecofriendly functional materials. In addition to being …

Starch modification has been extensively studied to alter its physicochemical properties
based on human needs. Lowering the digestion rate of starch is one of the interests in food …

The synthesis and the solution-state self-assembly of the “hybrid” diblock copolymers,
maltoheptaose-block-poly (methyl methacrylate)(MH-b-PMMA), into large compound …

Interest in amylose and its hybrids has grown over many decades, and a great deal of work
has been devoted to develo** methods for designing functional amylose hybrids. In this …

Amylose inclusion complexes were prepared in aqueous solution with the amphiphilic
moiety 3-pentadecylphenol via a direct mixing method. Attenuated total reflection Fourier …

Piezoresistive polymer nanocomposites are highly desirable for flexible mechanical sensing
applications. In this study, a family of multi-walled carbon nanotube (CNT)/elastomeric …

Here, we examined the effect of melting point of drug carriers on drug release of
dexamethasone (Dex)-loaded microspheres. We prepared poly (L-lactide-ran-ε …

Complexation can be utilized to modify starch properties. In this study, tapioca starch–methyl
myristate (SM) complexes are prepared by mixing tapioca starch and methyl myristate (MM) …
