Abstract
Polymeric materials, despite their many undeniable advantages, nowadays are a major environmental challenge. Thus, in recent years biodegradable polymer matrices have been widely used in various sectors, including the medicinal, chemical, and packaging industry. Their widespread use is due to the properties of biodegradable polymer matrices, among which are their adjustable physicochemical and mechanical properties, as well as lower environmental impact. The properties of biodegradable polymers can be modified with various types of nanofillers, among which clays, organic and inorganic nanoparticles, and carbon nanostructures are most commonly used. The performance of the final product depends on the size and uniformity of the used nanofillers, as well as on their distribution and dispersion in the polymer matrix. This literature review aims to highlight new research results on advances and improvements in the synthesis, physicochemical properties and applications of biodegradable polymer matrices modified with metal nanoparticles and metal oxides.

Advances in Algin and Alginate-Hybrid Materials for Drug Delivery and Tissue Engineering. Mar Drugs 2022; 21:md21010014. [PMID: 36662187 PMCID: PMC9861007 DOI: 10.3390/md21010014] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/20/2022] [Revised: 12/23/2022] [Accepted: 12/23/2022] [Indexed: 12/28/2022] Open
Abstract
In this review, we aim to provide a summary of recent research advancements and applications of algin (i.e., alginic acid) and alginate-hybrid materials (AHMs) in medical fields. Algin/alginate are abundant natural products that are chemically inert and biocompatible, and they have superior gelation properties, good mechanical strengths, and biodegradability. The AHMs have been widely applied in wound dressing, cell culture, tissue engineering, and drug delivery. However, medical applications in different fields require different properties in the AHMs. The drug delivery application requires AHMs to provide optimal drug loading, controlled and targeted drug-releasing, and/or visually guided drug delivery. AHMs for wound dressing application need to have improved mechanical properties, hydrophilicity, cell adhesion, and antibacterial properties. AHMs for tissue engineering need improved mechanical properties that match the target organs, superior cell affinity, and cell loading capacity. Various methods to produce AHMs that meet different needs were summarized. Formulations to form AHMs with improved stability, drug/cell-loading capacity, cell adhesion, and mechanical properties are active research areas. This review serves as a road map to provide insights into the strategies to develop AHMs in medical applications.

Abstract
Nanoparticles synthesis through biological mediated methods with a particular focus on the processes mediated by fungi and algae is discussed, which systematically reviews nanoparticle characterization, composition, synthesis methods, and, lastly but not least, the applications of NPs across five different categories to provide a reference for future research. Most traditional methods to generate nanoparticles have certain limitations, like the toxicity of precursor materials, the need for high-temperature management, and the high cost of synthesis, which ultimately hinders their utility in sectors. Greener synthesis through fungus and algae done through bioreduction by biomolecules or enzymes present in them is low-energy, low-cost, and needs a low-temperature environment, providing a unique technique for the manufacture of various metallic nanoparticles utilized in an array of industries and healthcare.

Abstract
There has been an increase in the discovery and usage of sensors for the detection of chemical compounds in the field of analytical chemistry since the last several years. This has led to progressive research in nanotechnology for developing efficient nanomaterials for bio-chemical sensing applications. Thereby, a deft synthesis of silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) under microwave irradiation was achieved using sodium alginate as a reducing and capping agent in a fast and cost-effective approach. As per the X-ray diffraction analysis, the average particle size of Ag NPs was found to be 10 nm. X-ray photoelectron spectroscpopy analysis showed characteristic peaks at binding energies of 368.10 and 374.11 eV indicating the formation of Ag NPs. The synthesized Ag NPs-alginate composite was further used to develop a paper-based sensor for the detection of H2O2. Detection of H2O2 is based on the discolouration of the Ag NPs-alginate composite modified paper sensor as a function of H2O2 concentration. The analysis of the decoloured paper strips was done by a smartphone camera and an RGB Colour Reader application (app) to measure colour intensity. The sensing characteristics were found in the range of 0.1-10 mM. The colour analysis revealed piecewise linear relationship of intensity of RGB to H2O2 concentration in the range of 0.1-1.5 and 2-10 mM with R2 values of 0.97 and 0.9778, respectively. Owing to the high sensitivity, selectivity, and cost-effectiveness, the developed paper sensor can be a potential tool for real-time analysis of H2O2.

Abstract
In the present study, heparin-mimetic magnetic nanoparticles (HMNPs), which might be used as recycling anticoagulants, were synthesized by coating heparin-mimetic sodium alginate (HLSA) on the surface of iron oxide magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs), using 3,4,5-trihydroxyphenylalanine (TOPA) as a biological adhesive. HLSA was successfully immobilized on the MNP surface, as revealed by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and thermal gravimetric analysis, and the core (MNP)-shell (TOPA, HLSA) structure was confirmed by transmission electron microscopy observations. In addition, in vitro studies of protein adsorption, blood clotting time, and contact activation confirmed that the blood compatibility of the HMNP was significantly enhanced compared with the bare MNP. The improved hemocompatibility was attributed to the introduction of the multiple heparin-mimetic groups (-SO3Na, -COONa, and -OH). In addition, the HMNP showed outstanding recycle stability and, thus, can be reused if needed. The synthesized HMNP appeared to be a suitable biomaterial to safely replace heparin as an anticoagulant in patients undergoing long-term hemodialysis.
