Polysaccharide esters (e.g. cellulose and starch) are among the
first polymeric materials applied commercially. The way of
producing these technically relevant derivatives, mainly the
carboxylic acid esters of C2 to C4 acids, have not been changed
significantly during their history of manufacture. The
investigation of new acylation methods and strategies of analysis
was revived during the last decade by the search for tailored,
biocompatible material for specific fields of application, e.g.,
biotechnology, sensor technique and medicine. Unconventional
solvents were developed for completely homogeneous acylation
reaction applying state of the art techniques of modern organic
chemistry for polysaccharide modification. This book will provide a
first comprehensive summary of acylation methods in a very
practical manner.
Detailed structure analysis is indispensable for the evaluation of
structure-property-relationships. Spectroscopic methods in
particular FTIR- and NMR spectroscopy including two dimensional
methods are of increasing importance.
