Epidermal biopolysaccharides from plant seeds enable biodegradable turbulent drag reduction
The high cost of synthetic polymers has been a key impediment limiting the widespread adoption of polymer drag reduction techniques in large-scale engineering applications, such as marine drag reduction. To address consumable cost constraints, we investigate the use of high molar mass biopolysacchar...
