Dextran has high water solubility and the solutions behave as Newtonian fluids. Solution viscosity depends on concentration, temperature, and molecular weight, which have a characteristic dispersal. The hydroxyl groups present in dextran offer many sites for derivatization, and these functionalized glycol conjugates represent an essentially unexplored class of biocompatible and environmentally safe compounds.
