Polysaccharides with supramolecular “glycosylations” as adaptive glycomaterials

In collaboration between two teams of Grenoble, CERMAV & SyMMES, and a Finnish team (Aalto University – Prof. Olli IKKALA), the first ever built linear supramolecular polysaccharide has been obtained. This proof-of-concept opens the way towards bioinspired and self-healable glycomaterials.
