T1  - Alginates - A Seaweed Product: Its Properties and Applications
N2  - Alginates are biodegradable, biocompatible, renewable, and natural polysaccharides in brown marine algae. <i>Properties and Applications of Alginates</i> provides an overview of the state of the art of chemical and material properties of alginates and biomedical and nanotechnology mechanisms underlying alginate biosynthesis. It discusses alginate-based materials’ fundamentals that combine research and technological advances with current limitations. Moreover, novel technologies using alginate composites are introduced, and as well as the latest developments in alginate-based technologies were reviewed. It also examines potential uses of alginates in immobilized biocatalysts, nanoparticle synthesis, wastewater treatment, heavy metal removal, agriculture, pharmaceuticals, and biomedicine.
