Esters of α-1,3-glucan: designed enzymatic polysaccharides as new matrices for sustainable packaging and membrane applications
separation in membrane processes. A quantitative correlation between water uptake in glucan- and cellulose-based materials and their structure is provided as a first tool to assess applicability of these materials in processes where water transport is a key factor.
