Your needs: to carry out the characterization and study of natural polymers using cutting-edge techniques

What is a natural polymer?

The polymers such as starch, chitin, or cellulose are macromolecules that play a fundamental role in cellular structure. They are all around us in nature and in our everyday lives (elastomers, paints, insulators, adhesives, food, etc.). These natural substances inspire innovations in materials for a more sustainable future. 

Which industries use natural polymers?

Natural polymers are now widely used by manufacturers, mainly because of their versatility and biodegradability. They are used in the textile industry, in the medical field (dressings, drug capsules), cosmetics (improving product hydration and texture). 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
