CHEMOSPHERE 2024; 363:142927. [PMID: 39048049 DOI: 10.1016/j.chemosphere.2024.142927] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/24/2024] [Revised: 07/14/2024] [Accepted: 07/21/2024] [Indexed: 07/27/2024]
Abstract
Membrane-based separation technologies have drawn significant interest because of their compactness, low energy consumption, and ability to be easily integrated with existing processes. There has been significant interest in the utilization of natural materials derived from sustainable and renewable resources for membrane fabrication. Cellulose is one of the promising polymers which has been extensively studied in membrane fabrication and modification due to its abundant availability, non-toxicity and biodegradability. While there have been several reviews in recent years separately on TFC membranes and cellulose-based materials for different applications, reviews exclusively focusing on cellulosic nanomaterials-based TFC membranes are still lacking. This review provides an overview of the types of cellulose nanomaterials exploited for the development and modification of TFC membranes, particularly those used for desalination and wastewater treatment. We have presented a brief description of cellulose-based nanomaterials followed by a detailed discussion of different studies addressing each cellulose nanomaterial separately. In addition, we have summarized the performance of different studies in the literature, paying particular attention to the enhancement achieved by the incorporation of cellulose nanomaterial in the membrane.

Abstract
Water sources have become extremely scarce and contaminated by organic and inorganic industrial and agricultural pollutants as well as household wastes. Poisoning water resources by dyes and metals is a problem because contaminated water can leak into subsurface and surface sources, causing serious contamination and health problems. Therefore, developing wastewater treatment technologies is valuable. Today, hydrogels have attracted considerable attention owing to their broad applications. Hydrogels are polymeric network compositions with significant water-imbibing capacity. Hydrogels have potential applications in diverse fields such as biomedical, personal care products, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and biosensors. They can be prepared by using natural (biopolymers) and synthetic polymers. Synthetic polymer-based hydrogels obtained from petrochemicals are not environmentally benign; thus, abundant plant-based polysaccharides are found as more suitable compounds for making biodegradable hydrogels. Polysaccharides with many advantages such as non-toxicity, biodegradability, availability, inexpensiveness, etc. are widely employed for the preparation of environmentally friendly hydrogels. Polysaccharides-based hydrogels containing chitin, chitosan, gum, starch (St), etc. are employed to remove pollutants, metals, and dyes. Among these, St has attracted a lot of attention. St can be mixed with other compounds to make hydrogels, which remove dyes and metal ions to variable degrees of efficiency. Although St has numerous advantages, it suffers from drawbacks such as low stability, low water solubility, and fast degradability in water which limit its application as an environmental adsorbent. As an effective way to overcome these weaknesses, various modification approaches to form starch-based hydrogels (SBHs) employing different compounds have been reported. The preparation methods and applications of SBH adsorbents in organic dyes, hazardous materials, and toxic ions elimination from water resources have been comprehensively discussed in this review.

SMALL (WEINHEIM AN DER BERGSTRASSE, GERMANY) 2024; 20:e2310556.

Abstract
Skin injury repair is a dynamic process involving a series of interactions over time and space. Linking human physiological processes with materials' changes poses a significant challenge. To match the wound healing process, a spatiotemporal controllable biomimetic skin is developed, which comprises a three-dimensional (3D) printed membrane as the epidermis, a cell-containing hydrogel as the dermis, and a cytokine-laden hydrogel as the hypodermis. In the initial stage of the biomimetic skin repair wound, the membrane frame aids wound closure through pre-tension, while cells proliferate within the hydrogel. Next, as the frame disintegrates over time, cells released from the hydrogel migrate along the residual membrane. Throughout the process, continuous cytokines release from the hypodermis hydrogel ensures comprehensive nourishment. The findings reveal that in the rat full-thickness skin defect model, the biomimetic skin demonstrated a wound closure rate eight times higher than the blank group, and double the collagen content, particularly in the early repair process. Consequently, it is reasonable to infer that this biomimetic skin holds promising potential to accelerate wound closure and repair. This biomimetic skin with mechanobiological effects and spatiotemporal regulation emerges as a promising option for tissue regeneration engineering.

Abstract
In this contribution, a bio-nanocomposite hydrogel film (CS/XG.SiO2) of chitosan/silica NPs-modified xanthan gum was prepared via a facile solution casting blending approach and utilized to capture the anionic methyl orange (MO) from aqueous solution. A Taguchi standard method was used to optimize the hydrogel nanocomposite synthesis reaction conditions after comprehensive characterization using various techniques. Under various operating parameters, the hydrogel biofilm was tested for its effectiveness in adsorbing MO dye in a batch process. In agreement with Langmuir isotherm, the CS/XG.SiO2 biofilm was capable of adsorbing MO at a maximum capacity of 294 mg/g at pH 5.30, contact time 45 min, temperature 25 °C, and concentration (C0) 50 mg/L. Pseudo-second-order model and adsorption kinetics data well matched. The thermodynamic data indicate that adsorption occurred spontaneously and exothermically. The main mechanisms driving the adsorption are electrostatic interactions and hydrogen bonding between the CS/XG.SiO2 nanocomposite and the dye. Furthermore, the biofilm is regenerative, allowing for up to five reuses while maintaining a 75 % dye removal efficiency. This study highlights that the CS/XG.SiO2 hydrogel nanocomposite is an inexpensive, reusable, and eco-friendly bio-adsorbent that is capable of anionic dye adsorption.

Abstract
This study focuses on the production of sulfated cellulose microfibers and nanocellulose hydrogels from native cellulose microfibers (CMF). The process involves using a combination of H2SO4 and urea, resulting in highly sulfated cellulose microfiber hydrogel (SC) with notable properties such as a sulfur content of 7.5 %, a degree of sulfation of 0.49, a surface charge content of 2.2 mmol. g-1, and a high yield of 81 %. The SC hydrogel can be easily fibrillated into sulfated nanocellulose hydrogel (S-NC) with elongated nanocellulose structures having an average diameter of 6.85 ± 3.11 nm, as determined using atomic force microscopy (AFM). X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) analysis confirms the presence of sulfate groups on the surface of the nanocellulose material. Transparent films with good mechanical properties can be produced from both cellulose microfiber and nanocellulose hydrogels. The sulfate functionality gives the hydrogel attractive rheological properties and makes S-NC re-dispersible in water, which can be beneficial for various applications. This study demonstrates the potential of this process to address previous challenges related to nanocellulose materials production.

Leveraging the remarkable attributes of polysaccharides, biomimetic and multifunctional hydrogels have emerged as a compelling avenue for efficacious wound dressing. The gels emulate the innate extracellular biomatrix as well as foster cellular proliferation. The distinctive structural compositions and profusion of functional groups within polysaccharides confer excellent physical/chemical traits as well as distinct restorative involvements. Gels crafted from polysaccharide matrixes serve as a robust defense against bacterial threats, effectively shielding wounds from harm. This comprehensive review delves into wound physiology, accentuating the significance of numerous polysaccharide-based gels in the wound healing context. The discourse encompasses an exploration of polysaccharide hydrogels tailored for diverse wound types, along with an examination of various therapeutic agents encapsulated within hydrogels to facilitate wound repair, incorporating recent patent developments. Within the scope of this manuscript, the perspective of these captivating gels for promoting optimal healing of wounds is vividly depicted. Nevertheless, the pursuit of knowledge remains ongoing, as further research is warranted to bioengineer progressive polysaccharide gels imbued with adaptable features. Such endeavors hold the promise of unlocking substantial potential within the realm of wound healing, propelling us toward multifaceted and sophisticated solutions.

Abstract
Most of the dyes used in various industries are non-biodegradable and carcinogenic in nature. Therefore, elimination of dyes from textile wastes is mandatory to safeguard the life of human, aquatic animals and aquatic plants. In this connection an effective and eco-friendly hydrogel was synthesized from acrylamide, cellulose, clay, and copper salt abbreviated as AMPS(PHE-Ce)/MC-Cu. The fabricated hydrogel was used as sorbent and catalyst for the adsorption and catalytic reduction of basic blue 3. SEM analysis showed granular texture with small holes or cracks which is basic criteria for an adsorbent surface. The results showed that the BET surface area and the Langmuir surface area were, respectively, 27.87 and 40.32 m2/g. The FTIR analysis confirmed the synthesis of hydrogel, as is evident from peaks at 3500, 3439, 2996, 2414, and 1650 cm-1, which indicated the presence of OH or NH, -C-O-C-, CH3, (C[bond, double bond]O), C-N bonds correspondingly. Thermal stability was confirmed by TGA analysis where weight loss in three stages has been observed. The presence of copper was confirmed through EDX (5.02%) indicating the incorporation of cupper nanoparticles in hydrogel surface. The high adsorption capability of 1590 mg/g as recorded for basic blue-3 dye indicates it to be an efficient adsorbent. The swelling behavior characterized by Fickian diffusion up to 7898% clearly indicated significant swelling. Pseudo 2nd-order kinetics and the Langmuir isotherm models were more fit in unfolding kinetics and isothermal data indicating chemisorption with monolayer sorption as evident from the high R2 values (0.999) of each model. Thermodynamics considerations indicated that the adsorption process is endothermic with a positive enthalpy value of 1371.32 Jmol-1. The positive entropy value of 19.70 J/mol.K signifies a higher degree of disorder at the solid-liquid interface. The findings provided a valuable insights into the hydrogel's capacity to adsorb cationic dyes and reduce them catalytically, pointing towards its potential applications in addressing environmental challenges.

Abstract
To enrich the application of nanocomposite hydrogels, we introduced two types of nanocellulose (CNC, cellulose nanocrystals; CNF, cellulose nanofibers) into the soy protein isolate(SPI)- konjac glucomannan (KGM) composite hydrogel system, respectively. The similarities and differences between the two types of nanocellulose as textural improvers of composite gels were successfully explored, and a model was developed to elaborate their interaction mechanisms. Appropriate levels of CNC (1.0 %) and CNF (0.75 %) prolonged SPI denaturation within the system, exposed more buried functional groups, improved molecular interactions, and strengthened the honeycomb structural skeleton formed by KGM. The addition of CNC resulted in greater gel strength (SKC1 2708.53 g vs. Control 810.35 g), while the addition of CNF improved the elasticity (SKF0.75 1940.24 g vs. Control 405.34 g). This was mainly attributed to the reinforcement of the honeycomb-structured, water binding and trapping, and the synergistic effect of covalent (disulfide bonds) and non-covalent interactions (hydrogen bonds, ionic bonds) within the gel network. However, the balance and interactions between proteins and polysaccharides were disrupted in the composite system with excessive CNF addition (≥0.75 %), which broken the stability of the honeycomb-like structure. We expect this study will draw attention on potential applications of CNC and CNF in protein-polysaccharide binary systems and facilitate the creation of novel, superior, mechanically strength-regulated nanofiber composite gels.

Cellulose-based adsorbents for solid phase extraction and recovery of pharmaceutical residues from water. Carbohydr Polym 2023; 318:121097. [PMID: 37479430 DOI: 10.1016/j.carbpol.2023.121097] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/16/2023] [Revised: 05/23/2023] [Accepted: 06/05/2023] [Indexed: 07/23/2023]
Abstract
Cellulose has attracted interest from researchers both in academic and industrial sectors due to its unique structural and physicochemical properties. The ease of surface modification of cellulose by the integration of nanomaterials, magnetic components, metal organic frameworks and polymers has made them a promising adsorbent for solid phase extraction of emerging contaminants, including pharmaceutical residues. This review summarizes, compares, and contrasts different types of cellulose-based adsorbents along with their applications in adsorption, extraction and pre-concentration of pharmaceutical residues in water for subsequent analysis. In addition, a comparison in efficiency of cellulose-based adsorbents and other types of adsorbents that have been used for the extraction of pharmaceuticals in water is presented. From our observation, cellulose-based materials have principally been investigated for the adsorption of pharmaceuticals in water. However, this review aims to shift the focus of researchers to the application of these adsorbents in the effective pre-concentration of pharmaceutical pollutants from water at trace concentrations, for quantification. At the end of the review, the challenges and future perspectives regarding cellulose-based adsorbents are discussed, thus providing an in-depth overview of the current state of the art in cellulose hybrid adsorbents for extraction of pharmaceuticals from water. This is expected to inspire the development of solid phase exraction materials that are efficient, relatively cheap, and prepared in a sustainable way.

Abstract
Bacterial infection usually represents a threat in medical wound care, due to the increase in treatment complexity and the risk of antibiotic resistance. For presenting interesting characteristics for the use as biomaterial, natural polymers have been explored for this application. Among them, a promising candidate is the konjac glucomannan (KGM) with outstanding biocompatibility and biodegradability but lack of antibacterial activity. In this study, KGM was combined with silver decorated cellulose nanocrystals (CNC-Ag) to prepare membranes by using a recent reported casting-freezing method. The results highlight the potential anti-adhesive activity of the new materials against Staphylococcus aureus upon contact, without the burst release of silver nanoparticles. Furthermore, the incorporation of CNC enhanced the thermal stability of these membranes while preserving the favorable mechanical properties of the KGM-based material. These findings highlight a straightforward approach to enhance the antibacterial properties of natural polymers, which can be effectively useful in medical devices like wound dressings that typically lack such properties.

In situ preparation of MOF-199 into the carrageenan-grafted-polyacrylamide@Fe 3O 4 matrix for enhanced adsorption of levofloxacin and cefixime antibiotics from water. ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH 2023; 233:116466. [PMID: 37348634 DOI: 10.1016/j.envres.2023.116466] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/18/2023] [Revised: 06/13/2023] [Accepted: 06/18/2023] [Indexed: 06/24/2023]
Abstract
In this research study, a novel method, an in-situ growth approach, to incorporate metal-organic framework (MOF) into carrageenan-grafted- polyacrylamide-Fe3O4 substrate was introduced. Carrageenan-grafted-polyacrylamide-Fe3O4/MOF nanocomposite (kC-g-PAAm@Fe3O4-MOF-199) was fabricated utilizing three stages. In this way, the polyacrylamide (PAAm) was grafted onto the carrageenan (kC) backbone via free radical polymerization in the presence of methylene bisacrylamide (MBA) as cross-linker and Fe3O4 magnetic nanoparticles. Next, the kC-g-PAAm@Fe3O4 was modified by MOF-199 via an in-situ solvothermal approach. Several analyses such as Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), X-Ray diffraction (XRD), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), energy-Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy (EDX), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM), Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) demonstrated the successful synthesis of kC-g-PAAm@Fe3O4-MOF-199 magnetic hydrogel nanocomposite. The XRD pattern of magnetic hydrogel nanocomposite illustrated characteristic peaks of Fe3O4, neat kC, and MOF-199 with enhanced crystallinity in comparison with kC-g-PAAm@Fe3O4. TGA showed it has a char yield of 24 wt% at 800 °C. VSM confirmed its superparamagnetic behavior (with Ms of 8.04 emu g-1), and the BET surface area of kC-g-PAAm@Fe3O4-MOF-199 was measured at 64.864 m2 g-1, which was higher than that of kC-g-PAAm@Fe3O4 due to the highly porous MOF-199 incorporation with a BET surface area of 905.12 m2 g-1). The adsorption effectiveness of kC-g-PAAm@Fe3O4-MOF-199 for eliminating cephalosporin and quinolones antibiotics, i.e., Cefixime (CFX) and Levofloxacin (LEV) from the aquatic area was considered. Several experimental setups were used to evaluate the efficacy of adsorption, such as solution pH, amount of adsorbent, contact duration, and initial concentration. The maximum adsorption capacity (Qmax) of the prepared magnetic hydrogel nanocomposite was found to be 2000 and 1666.667 mg-1 for LEV and CFX using employing 0.0025 g of adsorbent. The Freundlich isotherm model well described the experimental adsorption data with R2CFX = 0.9986, and R2LEV = 0.9939. And the adsorption kinetic data were successfully represented by the pseudo-second-order model with R2LEV = 0.9949 and R2CFX = 0.9906. Hydrogen bonding, π-π interaction, diffusion, and entrapment in the hydrogel network all contributed to the successful adsorption of both antibiotics onto the kC-g-PAAm@Fe3O4-MOF-199 adsorbent. Other notable physicochemical properties include the three-dimensional structure and availability of the reactive adsorption sites. Moreover, the adsorption/desorption efficacy of magnetic hydrogel nanocomposites was not significantly diminished after four cycles of recovery.

Abstract
Bio-polymeric based nano-composites and hydrogels are newsworthy nano-biomaterials. Herein, crystalline or fibrous nano-cellulose carboxylate (NCCC and NCCF) were selectively prepared via the controllable direct oxidative-hydrolysis of MC in alkaline NaClO2 at 1:2 mol ratio, 90 °C, and 24 h for NCCC and at 1:1 mol ratio, 70 °C, and 20 h for NCCF. Characterization of NCCC and NCCF were performed by comparative Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy, field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA), and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS). Then, NCCC was cross-linked to the recycled gelatin (Gel) from the medicine capsules and the as-prepared nano-ZnO by maleic anhydride (MA) to give the novel hydrogel Gel/MA/NCCC/nano-ZnO. Nano-ZnO plays multi-roles in this hydrogel preparation, as either catalyst for the esterification of cellulose hydroxyls and amidation of gelatin amino groups or as the anti-bacterial part of hydrogel. The in vitro anti-bacterial activity results against the three gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria by well diffusion method confirmed Gel/MA/NCCC/nano-ZnO as an antibacterial agent with the activity order of P. aeruginosa > S. aureus > E. coli. The top anti-bacterial activity of this hydrogel against the gram-negative resistant bacteria of P. aeruginosa suggests its potential for biomedical applications.

Abstract
Cellulose nanocrystals (CNC) have been extensively used in various fields due to their renewability, excellent biocompatibility, large specific surface area, and high tensile strength. Most biomass wastes contain significant amounts of cellulose, which forms the basis of CNC. Biomass wastes are generally made up of agricultural waste, and forest residues, etc. CNC can be produced from biomass wastes by removing the non-cellulosic components through acid hydrolysis, enzymatic hydrolysis, oxidation hydrolysis, and other mechanical methods. However, biomass wastes are generally disposed of or burned in a random manner, resulting in adverse environmental consequences. Hence, using biomass wastes to develop CNC-based carrier materials is an effective strategy to promote the high value-added application of biomass wastes. This review summarizes the advantages of CNC applications, the extraction process, and recent advances in CNC-based composites, such as aerogels, hydrogels, films, and metal complexes. Furthermore, the drug release characteristics of CNC-based material are discussed in detail. Additionally, we discuss some gaps in our understanding of the current state of knowledge and potential future directions of CNC-based materials.

Abstract
Reversibly light and pH dual-responsive spiropyran-based cellulose nanocrystals (SP-CNCs) is synthesized by the attachment of carboxyl-containing spiropyran (SP-COOH) onto cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs). The resulting structure and properties of SP-CNCs are examined by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), elemental analysis, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), atomic force microscopy (AFM), dynamic laser light scattering (DSL), ζ-potential measurements and ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vis) light absorption spectroscopy. SP-CNCs exhibit excellent photochromic and photoswitching properties. Spiropyran moieties on SP-CNCs can be switched between open-ring merocyanine (MC) and closed ring spiropyran (SP) forms under UV/Vis irradiation, leading to color changes. Moreover, SP-CNCs display improved photoresponsiveness, photoreversibility, fatigue resistance, and stability in DMSO than in H2O. We further investigate the pH-responsive behavior of SP-CNCs in H2O. SP-CNCs aqueous solution display different colors at different pH values, which can be directly observed by naked eye, indicating that SP-CNCs can function as a visual pH sensor. These results suggest that light and pH dual-responsive SP-CNCs possess great potential for applications in reversible data storage, sensing, optical switching and light-controlled nanomaterials.

Abstract
Cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs)/H2O gels have received significant interest in various applications for the past decades. And yet CNCs organogels, which are important to their wider application, are less explored. In this work, CNCs/Dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) organogels are carefully investigated by rheological methods. It is found that metal ions also can facilitate the organogel formation as in hydrogel. Charge screening and coordination effects play vital roles in the organogel formation and their mechanical strength. CNCs/DMSO gels with different cations display similar mechanical strength, while CNCs/H2O gels show increasing mechanical strength with the increasing valence of cations. It seems that the coordination between cations and DMSO alleviate the influence of valence on gel mechanical strength. Due to weak, fast and reversible electrostatic interactions among CNCs particles, both CNCs/DMSO and CNCs/H2O gels show instant thixotropic behavior, which may find some interesting applications in the field of drug delivery. The morphological changes observed in polarized optical microscope appear to be consistent with rheological results.

Abstract
Biocompatible and conductive polymer hydrogels are the subject of intensive research in the bioengineering field because of their use in bioelectronic devices and for the fabrication of electro-responsive tissues and drug delivery systems. In this study, we report the synthesis of conductive composite hydrogels consisting of a poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAM) matrix embedding carboxyl-functionalized multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT-COOH) using a two-step photopolymerization method. Thermo-responsive hydrogels with controlled hydrophilicity and conductivity were prepared by varying the carbon nanotube concentration in the range 0.5-3 wt%. The thermal response of the PNIPAM-based composite hydrogels was measured by differential scanning calorimetry with both ultrapure water and PBS solution as swelling liquid. Results show that the endothermic peak associated with the temperature-induced volume phase transition (VPT) shifts to higher temperatures upon increasing the concentration of the nanotubes, indicating that more energy is required to dissociate the hydrogen bonds of the polymer/filler network. In PBS solution, the swelling ratios and the VPT temperatures of the composite hydrogels are reduced because of salt-induced screening of the oppositely charged polymer/filler assembly, and the electrical resistivity decreases by a factor of 10 with respect to the water-swollen hydrogels.

Abstract
A systematic rheological study on the influence of valency of different counterions on the properties of CNC hydrogels was carried out. Rheo-polarized microscopy was used to prove that preshear of 500 s-1 for 1 min is adequate to completely breakdown agglomerates in the suspension. Furthermore, a rest period of 30 min is sufficient to recover the equilibrium structure of hydrogels. Changing counterions from monovalent (Na+, K+, Li+), to divalent (Mg2+, Ca2+) and to trivalent (Al3+) influenced the network formation. CNC suspensions with monovalent counterions are isotropic at 3 wt%, anisotropic with chiral nematic structures at 5 wt% and form birefringent gels at 7 wt%. Conversely, divalent and trivalent counterions facilitate network formation, leading to gel like behavior at all concentrations. Sonication of CNC samples with monovalent counterions lowers the viscosity by two orders of magnitude while the opposite is true for multivalent counterions due to the formation of strong networks. The varying rheological properties displayed from CNCs with different counter ions may influence the use of CNC as rheological modifiers in fluid-based applications.

Abstract
Wound management remains a challenging issue around the world, although a lot of wound dressing materials have been produced for the treatment of chronic and acute wounds. Wound healing is a highly dynamic and complex regulatory process that involves four principal integrated phases, including hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling. Chronic non-healing wounds are wounds that heal significantly more slowly, fail to progress to all the phases of the normal wound healing process, and are usually stalled at the inflammatory phase. These wounds cause a lot of challenges to patients, such as severe emotional and physical stress and generate a considerable financial burden on patients and the general public healthcare system. It has been reported that about 1-2% of the global population suffers from chronic non-healing wounds during their lifetime in developed nations. Traditional wound dressings are dry, and therefore cannot provide moist environment for wound healing and do not possess antibacterial properties. Wound dressings that are currently used consist of bandages, films, foams, patches and hydrogels. Currently, hydrogels are gaining much attention as a result of their water-holding capacity, providing a moist wound-healing milieu. Chitosan is a biopolymer that has gained a lot of attention recently in the pharmaceutical industry due to its unique chemical and antibacterial nature. However, with its poor mechanical properties, chitosan is incorporated with other biopolymers, such as the cellulose of desirable biocompatibility, at the same time having the improved mechanical and physical properties of the hydrogels. This review focuses on the study of biopolymers, such as cellulose and chitosan hydrogels, for wound treatment.

Abstract
Cellulose nanomaterials (CNMs) have emerged recently as an important group of sustainable bio-based nanomaterials (NMs) with potential applications in multiple sectors, including the food, food packaging, and biomedical fields. The widening of these applications leads to increased human oral exposure to these NMs and, potentially, to adverse health outcomes. Presently, the potential hazards regarding oral exposure to CNMs are insufficiently characterised. There is a need to understand and manage the potential adverse effects that might result from the ingestion of CNMs before products using CNMs reach commercialisation. This work reviews the potential applications of CNMs in the food and biomedical sectors along with the existing toxicological in vitro and in vivo studies, while also identifying current knowledge gaps. Relevant considerations when performing toxicological studies following oral exposure to CNMs are highlighted. An increasing number of studies have been published in the last years, overall showing that ingested CNMs are not toxic to the gastrointestinal tract (GIT), suggestive of the biocompatibility of the majority of the tested CNMs. However, in vitro and in vivo genotoxicity studies, as well as long-term carcinogenic or reproductive toxicity studies, are not yet available. These studies are needed to support a wider use of CNMs in applications that can lead to human oral ingestion, thereby promoting a safe and sustainable-by-design approach.

Abstract
In recent years, cellulose has attracted much attention because of its excellent properties, such as its hydrophilicity, mechanical properties, biodegradability, biocompatibility, low cost and low toxicity. In addition, cellulose and its derivatives contain abundant hydrophilic functional groups (such as hydroxyl, carboxyl and aldehyde groups), which are good raw materials for synthesizing biocompatible hydrogels. In this paper, the application prospects of cellulose and its derivatives-based hydrogels in biomedical tissue engineering are summarized and discussed through the analysis of recent research. Firstly, we discuss the structure and properties of cellulose, nano celluloses (NC) from different sources (including cellulose nanocrystals (CNC), cellulose nanofibrils (CNF) and bacterial nano celluloses (BNC)) and cellulose derivatives (including cellulose ethers and cellulose esters) obtained by different modification methods. Then, the properties and preparation methods of physical and chemical cellulose hydrogels are described, respectively. The application of cellulose-based hydrogels as a tissue engineering scaffold (skin, bone and cartilage) in the biomedical field is introduced. Finally, the challenges and prospects of cellulose-based hydrogels in tissue engineering are summarized.

Abstract
Hydrogel was recognized as one of the most promising materials for adsorption of pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCPs). The highly efficient bio-based nanocelluloses fine-tuned poly(acrylic acid) hydrogel (PAA/NC) adsorbent was constructed by adjusting aspect ratio, surface charge and crystallinity of NC. The cross-linked networks were fabricated through a single-step free-radical polymerization via steric effect and hydrogen bonds. The uniform three-dimensional structures with abundant macropores and mesopores were in-situ visualized by the cryogenic-scanning electron microscopy (Cryo-SEM). The diclofenac adsorption capacity of TEMPO oxidized cellulose nanofibers (TCNF) incorporated PAA hydrogel (PAA/TCNF, 559.8 mg·g-1) was circa 2.1 times higher than pristine PAA (293.5 mg·g-1) due to the elevated specific surface area, favorable spatial structure with unimpeded channels and abundant surface-charged carboxylic groups. Moreover, PAA/NC hydrogel exhibited a wide-pH applicability and high salinity tolerance. The adsorption was predominantly determined by hydrogen bonds, validated by XPS and FT-IR analysis. It was demonstrated developed PAA/NC hydrogel with unique porous structure significantly enhanced adsorption capacity for potential application in the purification of refractory organic pollutants-containing wastewater.

Abstract
The evolution of biosensors and diagnostic devices has been thriving in its ability to provide reliable tools with simplified operation steps. These evolutions have paved the way for further advances in sensing materials, strategies, and device structures. Polymeric composite materials can be formed into nanostructures and networks of different types, including hydrogels, vesicles, dendrimers, molecularly imprinted polymers (MIP), etc. Due to their biocompatibility, flexibility, and low prices, they are promising tools for future lab-on-chip devices as both manufacturing materials and immobilization surfaces. Polymers can also allow the construction of scaffold materials and 3D structures that further elevate the sensing capabilities of traditional 2D biosensors. This review discusses the latest developments in nano-scaled materials and synthesis techniques for polymer structures and their integration into sensing applications by highlighting their various structural advantages in producing highly sensitive tools that rival bench-top instruments. The developments in material design open a new door for decentralized medicine and public protection that allows effective onsite and point-of-care diagnostics.

Abstract
Devastating plant diseases and soil depletion rationalize an extensive use of agrochemicals to secure the food production worldwide. The sustained release of fertilizers and pesticides in agriculture is a promising solution to the eco-toxicological impacts and it might reduce the amount and increase the effectiveness of agrochemicals administration in the field. This review article focusses on carriers with diameters below 1 μm, such as capsules, spheres, tubes and micelles that promote the sustained release of actives. Biopolymer nanocarriers represent a potentially environmentally friendly alternative due to their renewable origin and biodegradability, which prevents the formation of microplastics. The social aspects, economic potential, and success of commercialization of biopolymer based nanocarriers are influenced by the controversial nature of nanotechnology and depend on the use case. Nanotechnology's enormous innovative power is only able to unfold its potential to limit the effects of climate change and to counteract current environmental developments if the perceived risks are understood and mitigated.

Abstract
Heavy metal ions are widely recognized for their harmful effects on human health and the environment. Heavy metal ions removal using nanocomposite hydrogel is a promising method for industrial applications and process development owing to their utilization in both kinematic and dynamic adsorption process. There is a need to develop simple, low-cost water purification techniques that use biodegradable bio-based natural polymers like cellulose nanocrystal that have been modified with nanomaterials. These innovative functional cellulose nanocrystals-based nanomaterials have been shown to successfully remove a variety of contaminants from wastewater to acceptable levels. Due to their capacity to hold water in their porous structures, hydrogels are the most commonly used 3D polymer mesh materials for environmental remediation. The application of potential hydrogel for the absorption of Cu2+, Ni2+, Zn2+ and Cd2+ ions from an aqueous solution in a packed bed adsorption column was studied in this work. The adsorbent was studied using FTIR, SEM, XRD and TGA. The influence of breakthrough factors such as bed height (10, 17 and 25 cm) influent concentration (10, 20 and 50 mg/L) and the feed flow rate (10, 20 and 30 mL/min) was assessed. Bed Depth Service Time, Thomas and Yoon-Nelson models were used to fit the experimental data. With an increase in bed height, breakthrough and exhaustion time, the removal efficiency rose to 99.42 ± 0.12 for Cu2+, 99.23 ± 1.16 for Ni2+, 99.36 ± 0.89 for Cd2+ and 98.94 ± 0.48 for Zn2+, but declined with increased flow rate and influent concentration. Better performance was observed at a bed height of 25 cm, an influent metal ion concentration of 10 mg/L and a flow velocity of 10 mL/min. The BDST and Yoon-Nelson models were both successfully used to predict the breakthrough curves of heavy metal ions removal.

Abstract
Wound dressings are devices used to stop bleeding and provide appropriate environmental conditions to accelerate wound healing. The effectiveness of wound dressing materials can be crucial to prevent deaths from excessive bleeding in surgeries and promote complete restoration of the injury. Some requirements for an ideal wound dressing are rapid hemostatic effect, high swelling capacity, antibacterial properties, biocompatibility, biodegradability, and mechanical strength. However, finding all these properties in a single material remains a challenge. In this context, nanocomposites have demonstrated an excellent capacity for this application because of their multifunctionality. One of the emerging materials used in nanocomposite manufacture is cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs), which are rod-like crystalline nanometric structures present on cellulose chains. These nanoparticles are attractive for wound healing applications because of their high aspect ratio, high mechanical properties, functionality and low density. Hence, this work aimed to present an overview of nanocomposites constituted by CNCs for wound healing applications. The review focuses on the most common materials used as matrices, the types of dressing, and their fabrication techniques. Novel wound dressings composites have improved hemostatic, swelling, and mechanical properties compared to other pure biopolymers while preserving their other biological properties. Films, nanofibers mats, sponges, and hydrogels have been prepared with CNCs nanocomposites, and in vitro and in vivo tests have proved their suitability for wound healing.

Abstract
Drug delivery systems (DDS) that can temporally control the rate and extent of release of therapeutically active molecules find applications in many clinical settings, ranging from infection control to cancer therapy. With an aim to design a locally implantable, controlled-release DDS, we demonstrated the feasibility of using cellulose nanocrystal (CNC)-reinforced poly (l-lactic acid) (PLA) composite beads. The performance of the platform was evaluated using doxorubicin (DOX) as a model drug for applications in triple-negative breast cancer. A facile, nonsolvent-induced phase separation (NIPS) method was adopted to form composite beads. We observed that CNC loading within these beads played a critical role in the mechanical stability, porosity, water uptake, diffusion, release, and pharmacological activity of the drug from the delivery system. When loaded with DOX, composite beads significantly controlled the release of the drug in a pH-dependent pattern. For example, PLA/CNC beads containing 37.5 wt % of CNCs showed a biphasic release of DOX, where 41 and 82% of the loaded drug were released at pH 7.4 and pH 5.5, respectively, over 7 days. Drug release followed Korsmeyer's kinetics, indicating that the release mechanism was mostly diffusion and swelling-controlled. We showed that DOX released from drug-loaded PLA/CNC composite beads locally suppressed the growth and proliferation of triple-negative breast cancer cells, MBA-MB-231, via the apoptotic pathway. The efficacy of the DDS was evaluated in human tissue explants. We envision that such systems will find applications for designing biobased platforms with programmed stability and drug delivery functions.

Abstract
Nanocelluloses (NCs), with their remarkable characteristics, have proven to be one of the most promising "green" materials of our times and have received special attention from researchers in nanomaterials. A diversity of new functional materials with a wide range of biomedical applications has been designed based on the most desirable properties of NCs, such as biocompatibility, biodegradability, and their special physicochemical properties. In this context and under the pressure of rapid development of this field, it is imperative to synthesize the successes and the new requirements in a comprehensive review. The first part of this work provides a brief review of the characteristics of the NCs (cellulose nanocrystals-CNC, cellulose nanofibrils-CNF, and bacterial nanocellulose-BNC), as well as of the main functional materials based on NCs (hydrogels, nanogels, and nanocomposites). The second part presents an extensive review of research over the past five years on promising pharmaceutical and medical applications of nanocellulose-based materials, which have been discussed in three important areas: drug-delivery systems, materials for wound-healing applications, as well as tissue engineering. Finally, an in-depth assessment of the in vitro and in vivo cytotoxicity of NCs-based materials, as well as the challenges related to their biodegradability, is performed.

Abstract
Promotion of promising cellulose nanocrystals (CNC) is largely dependent on the relationship between their morphology, surface chemical composition, and supramolecular structure with toxicity, hemocompatibility, and biodegradability. This paper outlines comparative and integrated analysis of the mentioned biocompatibility aspects of partially acetylated rod-, and disc-lake morphology of CNC with crystalline cellulose allomorphs I and II. These data have also included the study of CNC obtained from the sulfuric acid solutions. The aqueous solution of all types of tested CNC has not been toxic to mice after oral administration. Morphology of internal organs has not changed. However, in case of disc-like particles, the kidney mass coefficient noticeably changed. CNC have neither triggered platelet aggregation nor destroyed the red cell membrane. Intravenous administration to rabbits has not affected the plasma clotting time. Rod-like CNC are more resistant, and the disc-like particles are more susceptible to degradation under the influence of cellulases.

Abstract
Cancer is currently a major threat to public health, being among the principal causes of death to the global population. With carcinogenesis mechanisms, cancer invasion, and metastasis remaining blurred, cancer diagnosis and novel drug delivery approaches should be developed urgently to enable management and treatment. A dream break-through would be a non-invasive instantaneous monitoring of cancer initiation and progression to fast-track diagnosis for timely specialist treatment decisions. These innovations would enhance the established treatment protocols, unlimited by evasive biological complexities during tumorigenesis. It is therefore contingent that emerging and future scientific technologies be equally biased towards such innovations by exploiting the apparent properties of new developments and materials especially nanomaterials. CNCs as nanomaterials have undisputable physical and excellent biological properties that enhanced their interest as biomedical materials. This article therefore highlights CNCs utility in cancer diagnosis and therapy. Their extraction, properties, modification, in-vivo/in-vitro medical applications, biocompatibility, challenges and future perspectives are precisely discussed.

Abstract
Bionanomaterial based hydrogels originated from natural biopolymer have drawn much attention for advanced applications. However, nanosilk-based hydrogels derived from top-down approaches remain in their infancy. First, nanosilks based on existing methods fail to prepare hydrogels; second, both nanosilk extraction and surface modification remain a challenge due to high crystallinity and sophisticated hierarchical structures. To produce nanosilk-based hydrogels, pretreatment and oxidation are necessary. In this work, pretreatments were conducted first to loosen the sophisticated structures of natural silk fibers, NaClO oxidation was utilized in succession to introduce carboxyl groups onto silk fibroin. Combined with moderate mechanical disintegration, silk nanocrystals with additional carboxyl groups were prepared facilely. Finally, silk nanocrystal-based hydrogels were prepared successfully through gas phase coagulation. An optimization of pretreatment approaches and oxidation conditions was carried out. The morphologies, chemical and crystalline structures of original, pretreated and oxidized silk fibroin as well as nanofibrillated silk were investigated. In addition, the silk nanocrystal-based hydrogel exhibited outstanding mechanical properties compared to those of dissolved and regenerated silk fibroin-based hydrogels. Moreover, silk nanocrystal-based aerogels present highly porous, interconnected, and crisscrossed network nanostructures, which are ideal candidates for tissue regeneration and provide new prospects as porous scaffolds for bioengineering applications.
