Advances in functionalizing fucoidans and alginates (bio)polymers by structural modifications: A review
Abstract
Abstract Functionalizing biopolymers via structural modification is a new trend in biopolymer research. Alginates and fucoidans are two of the most renowned biopolymers from marine brown algae with numerous potential applications in engineering and biomedical science due to their desirable physicochemical characteristics and biofunctional properties. Alginates are particularly attractive for its biocompatibility and hydro jelling properties while fucoidans are famous for its broad range of bioactive effects attributed to their sulfate substitution. Structurally modified alginates have shown functional properties different to their native state which is suitable for a variety of potential applications in tissue engineering, wound healing, drug delivery and as fillers and viscosity controlling agents while enhanced biofunctional properties are achieved via structurally modified fucoidans. The present review encloses a comprehensive overview of recent developments in alginates and fucoidans derivatization methods such as controlled degradation, cross-linking, oxidation, substitution of different functional groups and co-polymerizing techniques. An overview of their potential applications and new perspectives for future studies are discussed as an insight into the future developments in the field of marine biomaterials.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
