Alternative Routes of Polysaccharide Acylation: Synthesis, Structural analysis, Properties

Alternative Routes of Polysaccharide Acylation provides an up-to-date and comprehensive account of synthesis,characterization and applications of numerous polysaccharide esters. It explores homogeneous, one pot syntheses and structure- property relationship of different kinds of polyglucan esters. A number of novel acylation methods are exploited in this book. The book will serve as a reference source for the research scholars working in this specialized area.
