Abstract: | In recent years, the layer-by-layer technique has grown in various fields. One of the emerging trends of bio-applications is the use of polysaccharides as main film components, which stems from their intrinsic physical, chemical and biological properties. These allow the simple formation, by self-assembly, of new kinds of mimics of extra-cellular matrices from plant and animal tissues. These assemblies, which possess specific properties arising from their hydration and internal composition, can indeed contain additional functionalities obtained by chemical modification of the biopolymers or film post-processing. They can be molded into different forms (films, membranes, and capsules). |
