Poly(alpha-1,4-d-glucan) and thermoplastic polymer mixtures containing the same

摘要

The invention relates to poly( alpha -1,4-D-glucan)s with a degree of polymerisation of at least approx. 40, preferably at least approx. 50 and most preferably at least approx. 60. Plasticised poly( alpha -1,4-D-glucan)s with the aforementioned degrees of polymerisation or thermoplastic polymer mixtures containing plasticised thermoplastic poly( alpha -1,4-D-glucan)s, are especially suitable as a support matrix for active substances used in agriculture, pharmaceutical active substances and/or cosmetic active substances.
