Your needs: characterise and study natural polymers using cutting-edge techniques

What is a natural polymer?

Natural polymers such as starch, chitin and cellulose are macromolecules that play a vital role in cell structure. They are all around us in nature and in our everyday lives (elastomers, paints, insulation, glues, food, etc.). These natural substances inspire innovations in sustainable materials.

What industries use natural polymers?

Natural polymers are now widely used by industry, mainly because of their versatility and biodegradability. They are used in the textile sector, in the medical field (dressings, medicine capsules) and in cosmetics (improving the hydration and texture of products). Cellulose is also essential in the production of paper and industrial packaging. In materials engineering, natural polymers are the basis for the manufacture of bioplastics. They combine innovation and respect for the environment.
