Nature produces a range of carbohydrate polymers -- e.g. starch, cellulose, chitin -- which have important properties that support a wide range of biological structures and processes. These materials are also widely exploited across market sectors -- thickeners in processed food; tableting agents; absorbent materials in sanitary products; wound dressings; biodegradable packaging. However, nature does not afford carbohydrate materials with the range of desirable properties that industry requires. We have shown that new-to-nature fluorinated carbohydrate polymers can be made by enzymatic synthesis, widening the palette of structures and properties that are available to tailor bulk polysaccharide properties for application. Herein, we will develop and optimise processes for the scalable enzymatic synthesis of fluorinated carbohydrate polymers.

大自然产生一系列碳水化合物聚合物--例如淀粉、纤维素、甲壳素--它们具有支持广泛的生物结构和过程的重要特性。这些材料也被广泛用于各个市场部门--加工食品中的增稠剂；压片剂；卫生产品中的吸水性材料；伤口敷料；可生物降解的包装。然而，大自然负担不起具有工业所需的一系列理想特性的碳水化合物材料。我们已经证明，可以通过酶法合成新的天然含氟碳水化合物聚合物，拓宽了可用于定制本体多糖特性的调色板。在这里，我们将开发和优化可扩展的酶法合成含氟碳水化合物聚合物的工艺。
