Abstract

The present thesis is focused on the development of biocompatible nanostructured materials with magnetic properties, combining biopolymers of algae orgin (e.g., alginate), plant origin (e.g., pectin,cellulose, pectin) and animal origin (e.g., chitosan). The main idea was to design magnetic materials with different morphology (beads, microfibers, films and capsules) and study their biocompatability,reusability and magnetic properties for posterior use in future and environmental applications.
