Abstract
Microplastics, an invisible threat, are emerging as serious pollutants that continuously affect health by interrupting/contaminating the human cycle, mainly involving food, water, and air. Such serious scenarios raised the demand for developing efficient sensing systems to detect them at an early stage efficiently and selectively. In this direction, the proposed research reports an electrochemical hexamethylenetetramine (HMT) sensing utilizing a sensing platform fabricated using chitosan-magnesium oxide nanosheets (CHIT-MgO NS) nanocomposite. HMT is considered as a hazardous microplastic, which is used as an additive in plastic manufacturers and has been selected as a target analyte. To fabricate sensing electrodes, a facile co-precipitation technique was employed to synthesize MgO NS, which was further mixed with 1% CHIT solution to form a CHIT_MgO NS composite. Such prepared nanocomposite solution was then drop casted to an indium tin oxide (ITO) to fabricate CHIT_MgO NS/ITO sensing electrode to detect HMT electrochemically using cyclic voltammetry (CV) and differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) techniques. To determine the limit of detection (LOD) and sensitivity, DPV was performed. The resulting calibrated curve for HMT, ranging from 0.5 μM to 4.0 μM, exhibited a sensitivity of 12.908 μA (μM)-1 cm-2 with a detection limit of 0.03 μM and a limit of quantitation (LOQ) of 0.10 μM. Further, the CHIT_MgO NS/ITO modified electrode was applied to analyze HMT in various real samples, including river water, drain water, packaged water, and tertiary processed food. The results demonstrated the method's high sensitivity and suggested its potential applications in the field of microplastic surveillance, with a focus on health management.

Organized assembly of chitosan into mechanically strong bio-composite by introducing a recombinant insect structural protein OfCPH-1. Carbohydr Polym 2024; 334:122044.

Abstract
Chitosan, known for its appealing biological properties in packaging and biomedical applications, faces challenges in achieving a well-organized crystalline structure for mechanical excellence under mild conditions. Herein, we propose a facile and mild bioengineering approach to induce organized assembly of amorphous chitosan into mechanically strong bio-composite via incorporating a genetically engineered insect structural protein, the cuticular protein hypothetical-1 from the Ostrinia furnacalis (OfCPH-1). OfCPH-1 exhibits high binding affinity to chitosan via hydrogen-bonding interactions. Simply mixing a small proportion (0.5 w/w%) of bioengineered OfCPH-1 protein with acidic chitosan precursor induces the amorphous chitosan chains to form fibrous networks with hydrated chitosan crystals, accompanied with a solution-to-gel transition. We deduce that the water shell destruction driven by strong protein-chitosan interactions, triggers the formation of well-organized crystalline chitosan, which therefore offers the chitosan with significantly enhanced swelling resistance, and strength and modulus that outperforms that of most reported chitosan-based materials as well as petroleum-based plastics. Moreover, the composite exhibits a stretch-strengthening behavior similar to the training living muscles on cyclic load. Our work provides a route for harnessing the OfCPH-1-chitosan interaction in order to form a high-performance, sustainably sourced bio-composite.

Abstract
Eco-friendly nanotechnology-enabled biopolymers are one of the novel concepts of packaging materials to substitute traditional synthetic polymers and their composites. This article succinctly reviews the recent developments of introducing additional functionalities to biopolymers using metal and metal oxide nanoparticles. The functionality of metal nanoparticles such as silver, zinc oxide, titanium dioxide, copper oxide, gold, and magnesium oxide, as food packaging materials were discussed. The addition of nanoparticles in biopolymers improves mechanical properties, gas barrier properties, durability, temperature stability, moisture stability, antimicrobial activity, antioxidant property, and UV absorbance and can prevent the presence of ethylene and oxygen, hence extending the shelf life of foodstuffs. Other than this, the functional activity of these biopolymer composite films helps them to act like smart or intelligent packaging. The selection of metal nanoparticles, particle migration, toxicological effect, and potential future scope in the food packaging industry are also reviewed.

Abstract
A novel chitosan/sodium hyaluronate/iridium (CHI/SH/Ir) hydrogel nanocomposite with a unique microstructure containing vertically aligned pores is fabricated via an electrophoresis technique. The formation of orderly vertical pores in CHI/SH/Ir hydrogel nanocomposite is due to the confinement of hydrogen bubbles produced from the water electrolysis during electrophoresis that limits their lateral movement and coalescence. In a wet state, the diameter for the vertical pores is 600-700 μm. With a thickness of 500 μm, the CHI/SH/Ir hydrogel nanocomposite exhibits a porosity of 76.7 % and a water uptake of 350 %. Its tensile strength is almost doubled to 8.7 MPa, as compared to that of counterpart without the addition of iridium. In CHI/SH/Ir hydrogel nanocomposite, the iridium nanoparticles are homogeneously distributed with an average size of 3 nm. The CHI/SH/Ir electrophoresis suspension exhibits a negligible cytotoxicity. In cell migration test using the human keratinocytes HaCaT cells, the CHI/SH/Ir hydrogel nanocomposite reveals a relative migration of 122.15 ± 9.02 % (p < 0.001) as compared to the blank sample. The presence of vertically aligned pores with the use of SH and iridium nanoparticles indicates a promising opportunity in wound healing application.

Abstract
Hitherto unreported hybrid nanofillers (CNC:MgO) reinforced chitosan (CTS) based composite (CNC:MgO)/CTS films were synthesized using a solution-casting blend technique and synergistic effect of hybrid nanofiller in terms of properties enhancement were investigated. Optical microscopy, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) technique, fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) were used to characterize the films. The hybrid nanofiller considerably changed the transparency and color of the CTS films. The tensile strengths of (3 wt%) CNC/CTS, (3 wt%) MgO/CTS, (1:1)(CNC:MgO)/CTS, (1:2)(CNC:MgO)/CTS and (2:1)(CNC:MgO)/CTS films were 27.49 %, 35.60 %, 91.62 %, 38.22 %, and 29.32 % higher than pristine CTS films respectively, while the water vapor permeation were 28.21 %, 30.77 %, 34.62 %, 38.46 %, and 37.44 % lower than pristine CTS film, respectively. Moreover, the CTS composite films exhibited an improvement in overall water barrier properties after incorporating hybrid nanofillers. Our observations suggest that chitosan-based hybrid nanofiller composite films are a good replacement for plastic-based packaging materials within the food industry.

Abstract
To accurately determine flavonoids (rutin, quercetin or kaempferol), it is necessary to extract them from complex matrices. The ultrasound-assisted magnetic dispersion microsolid phase extraction technique has been predominantly used for separation and enrichment of the target analytes. The combination of magnetic chitosan nanoparticles and a deep eutectic supramolecular solvent (DESP) is likely to enhance the efficiency of flavonoid extraction from food. In this study, adsorbents were prepared by modifying chitosan with magnetic nanoparticles, and the eluent was a DESP derived from β-cyclodextrin and an organic acid. The successful preparation of these materials was confirmed by FTIR, XRD, FE-SEM and 1H NMR. The extraction recovery rates exceeded 93 %, with limits of detection and quantitation ranging from 0.9 to 2.4 μg/L and 2.7 to 7.2 μg/L, respectively, and the flavonoid clearance rates for ABTS and DPPH radicals reached 100 %. Therefore, the integration of magnetic chitosan nanoparticles with the DESP provides a new and efficient method for the extraction of flavonoids while also presenting a potential application of the DESP in separations.

Abstract
Bacterial infections that cause chronic wounds provide a challenge to healthcare worldwide because they frequently impede healing and cause a variety of problems. In this study, loaded with tungsten oxide (WO3 ), Magnesium oxide (MgO), and graphene oxide (GO) on chitosan (CS) membrane, an inexpensive polymer casting method was successfully prepared for wound healing applications. All fabricated composites were characterized by X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), Fourier transforms infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). A scanning electron microscope (SEM) was used to study the synthesized film samples' morphology as well as their microstructure. The formed WO3/MgO@CS shows a great enhancement in the UV/VIS analysis with a highly intense peak at 401 nm and a narrow band gap (3.69 eV) compared to pure CS. The enhanced electron-hole pair separation rate is responsible for the WO3/MgO/GO@CS scaffold's antibacterial activity. Additionally, human lung cells were used to determine the average cell viability of nanocomposite scaffolds and reached 121 % of WO3 /MgO/GO@CS nanocomposite, and the IC50 value was found to be 1654 μg/mL. The ability of the scaffold to inhibit the bacteria has been tested against both E. coli and S. aureus. The 4th sample showed an inhibition zone of 11.5±0.5 mm and 13.5±0.5 mm, respectively. These findings demonstrate the enormous potential for WO3 /MgO/GO@CS membrane as wound dressings in the clinical management of bacterially infected wounds.

Abstract
It is a matter of common knowledge in the literature that engineered metal oxide nanoparticles have properties that are efficient for the design of innovative food/beverage packages. Although nanopackages have many benefits, there are circumstances when these materials are able to release nanoparticles into the food/beverage matrix. Once dispersed into food, engineered metal oxide nanoparticles travel through the gastrointestinal tract and subsequently enter human cells, where they display various behaviors influencing human health or wellbeing. This review article provides an insight into the antimicrobial mechanisms of metal oxide nanoparticles as essential for their benefits in food/beverage packaging and provides a discussion on the oral route of these nanoparticles from nanopackages to the human body. This contribution also highlights the potential toxicity of metal oxide nanoparticles for human health. The fact that only a small number of studies address the issue of food packaging based on engineered metal oxide nanoparticles should be particularly noted.

Abstract
For food packaging, a novel composite film was prepared by solution casting method using hydroxyethyl cellulose (HEC), carboxymethyl chitosan (CMCS), and zinc oxide nanoparticles as raw materials. The composite film successfully compounded the nanoparticles, as deduced by spectroscopy, crystallography and morphology observation. The addition of CMCS and ZnO enhanced the solvent resistance (the water solubility of the composite film was reduced by 94.3 %) and UV shielding ability (the UV shielding capacity of the composite film was increased by 45.73 %) of the composite film, thus improving the application prospects of the composite film in water-rich foods. In addition, the synergistic effect of CMCS and ZnO helped the composite film to efficiently inhibit the pathogenic bacteria Listeria monocytogenes and Pseudomonas aeruginosa (rate of inhibition>99.99 %) in food. The addition of CMCS and ZnO also significantly improved the elasticity (improve 494.34 %) and maximum load capacity (improve 142.24 %) of the composite film.

Abstract
In this work, a cost-effective chitin-based magnesium oxide (CHt@MgO) biocomposite with excellent anionic methyl orange (MO) dye removal efficiency from water was developed. The CHt@MgO biocomposite was characterized by FT-IR, XRD, SEM-EDX, and TGA/DTG. Results proved the successful synthesis of CHt@MgO biocomposite. Adsorption of MO on the CHt@MgO biocomposite was optimized by varying experimental conditions such as pH, amount of adsorbent (m), contact time (t), temperature (T), and initial MO concentration (Co). The optimized parameters for MO removal by CHt@MgO biocomposite were as follows: pH, 6; m, 2 g/L; t, 120 min. Two common isotherm models (Langmuir and Freundlich) and three kinetic models (pseudo-first-order (PFO), pseudo-second-order (PSO), and intraparticle diffusion (IPD)) were tested for experimental data fitting. Results showed that Langmuir and PFO were the most suitable to respectively describe equilibrium and kinetic results on the adsorption of MO adsorption on CHt@MgO biocomposite. The maximum Langmuir monolayer adsorption capacity (qm) on CHt@MgO biocomposite toward MO dye was 252 mg/g at 60 °C. The reusability tests revealed that CHt@MgO biocomposite possessed high (90.7%) removal efficiency after the fifth regeneration cycle.

Abstract
Cellulose, starch, chitosan, polylactic acid, and polyhydroxyalkanoates are seen as promising alternatives to conventional plastics in food packaging. However, the application of these biopolymers in the food packaging industry on a commercial scale is limited due to their poor performance and processing characteristics and high production cost. This review aims to provide an insight into the recent advances in research that address these limitations. Loading of nanofillers into polymer matrix could improve thermal, mechanical, and barrier properties of biopolymers. Blending of biopolymers also offers the possibility of acquiring newer materials with desired characteristics. However, nanofillers tend to agglomerate when loaded above an optimum level in the polymer matrix. This article throws light on different methods adopted by researchers to achieve uniform dispersion of nanofillers in bionanocomposites. Furthermore, different processing methods available for converting biopolymers into different packaging forms are discussed. In addition, the potential utilization of agricultural, brewery, and industrial wastes as feedstock for the production of biopolymers, and integrated biorefinery concept that not only keep the total production cost of biopolymers low but are also environment-friendly, are discussed. Finally, future research prospects in this field and the possible contribution of biopolymers to sustainable development are presented. This review will certainly be helpful to researchers working on sustainable food packaging, and companies exploring pilot projects to scale up biopolymer production for industrial applications.

Abstract
The carboxymethyl chitosan (CMCS)/fish skin gelatin (Gel) based novel nanocomposite film was developed with nano ZnO for potential food packaging applications. The SEM and FT-IR results indicated that the nano ZnO was success composited with CMCS/Gel film. The X-ray diffraction result revealed that the total crystallinity of the CMCS/Gel/nano ZnO achieved 94.92 %, improving the crystallinity of the original substrate. Compared with CMCS/nano ZnO and Gel/nano ZnO, the water solubility of CMCS/Gel/nano ZnO decreased to 23 %. Moreover, its contact angle reached 91°, representing that the composite film showed better solvent resistance and can be widely used in food packaging, especially in foods with high water content. After nano-ZnO was compounded with CMCS/Gel film, the physical properties were further improved. Furthermore, CMCS/Gel/nano ZnO has higher elasticity and ductility than CMCS/nano ZnO and Gel/nano ZnO. For food packages, CMCS/Gel films incorporated with nano ZnO depicted strong against Escherichia coli (99.20 %) and Staphylococcus aureus (84.70 %) for food packages. The CMCS/Gel film with the addition of ZnO was optimal for producing nanocomposite films with higher water-insolubility, elasticity and ductility, and higher antibacterial properties.

Chitin Nanocrystal Hydrophobicity Adjustment by Fatty Acid Esterification for Improved Polylactic Acid Nanocomposites. Polymers (Basel) 2022; 14:polym14132619.

Abstract
Bioplastics may solve environmental issues related to the current linear plastic economy, but they need improvement to be viable alternatives. To achieve this, we aimed to add chitin nanocrystals (ChNC) to polylactic acid (PLA), which is known to alter material properties while maintaining a fully bio-based character. However, ChNC are not particularly compatible with PLA, and surface modification with fatty acids was used to improve this. We used fatty acids that are different in carbon chain length (C4–C18) and degree of saturation (C18:2). We successfully used Steglich esterification and confirmed covalent attachment of fatty acids to the ChNC with FTIR and solid-state 13C NMR. The morphology of the ChNC remained intact after surface modification, as observed by TEM. ChNC modified with C4 and C8 showed higher degrees of substitution compared to fatty acids with a longer aliphatic tail, while particles modified with the longest fatty acid showed the highest hydrophobicity. The addition of ChNC to the PLA matrix resulted in brown color formation that was reduced when using modified particles, leading to higher transparency, most probably as a result of better dispersibility of modified ChNC, as observed by SEM. In general, addition of ChNC provided high UV-protection to the base polymer material, which is an additional feature that can be created through the addition of ChNC, which is not at the expense of the barrier properties, or the mechanical strength.

Abstract
Inorganic nanoparticles (NPs) and natural antioxidant compounds are an emerging trend in the food industry. Incorporating these substances in biobased and biodegradable matrices as polysaccharides (e.g., starch, cellulose, and chitosan) and proteins has highlighted the potential in active food packaging applications due to more significant antimicrobial, antioxidant, UV blocking, oxygen scavenging, water vapor permeability effects, and low environmental impact. In recent years, the migration of metal NPs and metal oxides in food contact packaging and their toxicological potential have raised concerns about the safety of the nanomaterials. In this review, we provide a comprehensive overview of the main biobased and biodegradable polymer nanocomposites, inorganic NPs, natural antioxidants, and their potential use in active food packaging. The intrinsic properties of NPs and natural antioxidant actives in packaging materials are evaluated to extend shelf-life, safety, and food quality. Toxicological and safety aspects of inorganic NPs are highlighted to understand the current controversy on applying some nanomaterials in food packaging. The synergism of inorganic NPs and plant-derived natural antioxidant actives (e.g., vitamins, polyphenols, and carotenoids) and essential oils (EOs) potentiated the antibacterial and antioxidant properties of biodegradable nanocomposite films. Biodegradable packaging films based on green NPs-this is biosynthesized from plant extracts-showed suitable mechanical and barrier properties and had a lower environmental impact and offered efficient food protection. Furthermore, AgNPs and TiO2 NPs released metal ions from packaging into contents insufficiently to cause harm to human cells, which could be helpful to understanding critical gaps and provide progress in the packaging field.

Abstract
A facile, one-pot, and solvent-free synthesis was developed to obtain a thermally stable chitosan biopolymer. The bifunctional isocyanate by interaction with chitosan formed urea and urethane bonds between chitosan chains. Subsequently, the designed chemistry facilitated the formation of carbodiimide bonds between chitosan chains via dehydration of the urea bond. The modified chitosan was proved to be superior in thermal properties and could be used as a thermally stable bio-filler. This synthetic methodology is a facile route to achieve improved thermal stability in biopolymers.

Abstract
The chitosan (CS)/bis(2-hydroxyethyl)methyl tallow ammonium modified montmorillonite (TCN) nanocomposites are synthesized by the phase inversion procedure via the assistance of carbon dioxide (CO2). The viscosity of CS/formic acid solution is reduced with the incorporation of CO2 owing to the formation of carbamic acid. However, the incorporation of TCN promotes the viscosity of CS solution due to the interaction between TCN and carbamic acid. The morphology of CS/TCN nanocomposites is studied by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), where the surface of the membrane is dense and non-porous. The microstructure of the synthesized CS/TCN composite is further investigated by attenuated total reflectance Fourier transform infrared (ATR-FTIR) spectra, X-ray diffraction (XRD), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). It is found that the incorporation of TCN without the presence of CO2 disturbs the crystallization of CS. Interestingly, the melting enthalpy of the CS/TCN composite is notably increased with the introduction of CO2, demonstrating that the interaction between the TCN and carbamic acid enhances the formation of CS crystals. XRD and TEM results show that this interaction is able to promote the homogeneous distribution of TCN in the nanoscale with the non-exfoliated form, enhancing the mechanical properties of the synthesized nanocomposites. In particular, the synthesized CS/TCN nanocomposites with the assistance of CO2 present exceptional mechanical properties, where the tensile strength (65.82 MPa) and Young's modulus (3512.48 MPa) are twice as high as that of the CO2 free system.

Abstract
Improving resilience, enhancing fire safety and adsorption properties were the key points for the preparation of high-performance flexible polyurethane foam (FPUF). Here, MOF-derived petal-like Co/Mg-double metal hydroxide (Co/Mg-LDH) and 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane (APTES) were selected to modify the hydroxylated boron nitride (BNNS-OH) to obtain a hydrophobic BN@MOF-LDH@APTES. Compared with the previous work, BN@MOF-LDH@APTES demonstrated extremely high filler efficiency in reducing the heat release per unit mass (THR/TM) (18.2 % reduction) and smoke production per unit mass (TSP/TM) (19.1% reduction) of FUPF during combustion. In addition, the obtained FPUF nanocomposite exhibited high absorption capacity while achieving remarkable thermal stability and fire safety. Moreover, the FPUF nanocomposite containing 1 wt% BN@MOF-LDH@APTES achieved a 71% increase in compressive strength, indicating excellent resilience. Therefore, this work provided a new material for the preparation of high-resilience FPUF with both flame retardancy and adsorption capacity.

Abstract
Abstract
In the current study, ZnO/chitosan bio-composite films were produced via solution-casting method. Two different ZnO powders, micrometer (d50 ≅ 1.5 μm) and nanometer sized (d50 ≅ 100 nm), were used to investigate the effect of ZnO particle size and concentration (0, 2, and 8% w/w of chitosan) on the mechanical and antibacterial properties of the ZnO/chitosan bio-composite films. The incorporation of the ZnO powders into the chitosan film resulted in an increase in the tensile strength (TS) and a decrease in the elongation at break (EB) values. Mechanical test results revealed that TS and EB properties were considerably affected (p < 0.05) by the concentration and particle size of the ZnO reinforcement. Disc diffusion method demonstrated good antibacterial activities of bio-composite films containing high amount of ZnO (8% w/w of chitosan) against Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Klebsiella pneumoniae, and Bacillus subtilis. The growth-limiting effect of the films was more pronounced for S. aureus and K. pneumoniae. Due to enhanced TS and imparted antibacterial activity of the produced ZnO/chitosan bio-composite films, these materials are promising candidates for applications such as food packaging, wound dressing, and antibacterial coatings for various surfaces.

Abstract
A substantial interest has been manifested in utilizing oil/metal oxide hybrid bionanocomposite, especially organic/ inorganic to design different biomedical applications. The present study reports the synthesis, characterization, antibacterial and anticancer properties of biogenic silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) and L.satiVum oil/PEG/Ag-MgO bionanocomposite. The fabricated AgNPs and L.sativum oil/PEG/Ag-MgO bionanocomposite were characterized by employing different spectroscopic (UV, FTIR, XRD) and microscopic (TEM, SEM) techniques. The particle size analysis showed that the mean size of 16.32 nm for AgNPS and 13.45 nm L.satiVum oil/PEG/Ag-MgO, indicating the excellent dispersion of Ag-MgO nanoparticles in the PEG- L.satiVum oil matrix. The antimicrobial activity of AgNPs and polymeric bionanocomposite was investigated against two pathogenic bacteria. The highest antibacterial effect was observed for bionanocomposite towards Gram-positive Staphylococcus aureus (27 mm) and Gram-negative Escherichia coli (25 mm) at 40 µg/well. The bionanocomposite completely vanished the bacterial growth (100%) at 80 µgmL-1 concentrations. Moreover, the AgNPs and polymeric bionanocomposite was evaluated for anticancer activity against human cervical cancer cells (HeLa cells) at different doses (50, 250, 500, and 1000 µgmL-1). The results showed polymeric bionanocomposite was stronger in inducing the HeLa cancer cell death than AgNPs. Overall, the fabricated L.satiVum oil/PEG/Ag-MgO bionanocomposite serve as a potential antimicrobial and anticancer agent and could be used in the development of novel drugs and health care products in near future.

Abstract
Although gene therapy targeting the α-synuclein gene (SNCA) has achieved outstanding results in the treatment of Parkinson's disease (PD), the lack of a suitable gene delivery system and inadequate therapeutic effects remains a tremendous obstacle for RNAi therapy. Here, a degradable nano-MgO micelle composite (MgO(pDNA)-INS-Plu-mRNA-NGF) with double interference (mediated by RNAi and α-synuclein (α-syn)-targeted mRNA) was constructed. Binding mRNA treatment significantly increased the inhibitory effect compared to the reduction of α-syn expression by RNAi alone. Moreover, the cell experiments demonstrated that the viability of the PD cell model can be significantly improved by nano-MgO micelle composite treatment. More importantly, the composite has the ability to penetrate the blood brain barrier and deliver genes and mRNA to neurons through endocytosis mediated by the nerve growth factor and its receptors, thus significantly downregulating the expression of α-syn in the PD mice model without causing damage to other major organs. Overall, this work provides a novel insight into the design of biomaterials for gene therapy for PD.

Abstract
The continuous petroleum-based plastics manufacturing generates disposal issues, spreading the problem of plastic pollution and its rise in the environment. Recently, innovative techniques and scientific research promoted biopolymers as the primary alternative for traditional plastics, raising and expanding global bioplastic production. Due to its unmatched biological and functional attributes, chitosan (Ch) has been substantially explored and employed as a biopolymeric matrix. Nevertheless, the hydrophilicity and the weak mechanical properties associated with this biopolymer represent a significant intrinsic restriction to its implementation into some commercial applications, namely, in food packaging industries. Distinct methodologies have been utilized to upgrade the mechanical and barrier properties of Ch, such as using organic or inorganic nanofillers, crosslinkers, or blends with other polymers. This review intends to analyze the most recent works that combine the action of different nanoparticle types with Ch films to reinforce their mechanical and barrier properties.

Abstract
The present article evaluates the composition and synthesis of hydrogel beads. Hydrogels, owing to their known biocompatibility, are widely used in drug delivery as a host (or drug carrier). Hydrogels, owing to their physical, chemical and biological properties, are popular in many aspects. Hydrogels are crosslinked-hydrophilic polymers and commercialized/synthesized in both natural and synthetic forms. These polymers are compatible with human tissues, therefore can be potentially used for biomedical treatments. Hydrogels in drug delivery offer several points of interest such as sustainability, and sensitivity without any side-effects as compared to traditional methods in this field. Drugs can encapsulate and release continuously into the targets when hydrogels are activated/modified magnetically or by fluorescent materials. It is crucial to develop new crosslinked polymers in terms of "biocompatibility" and "biodegradability" for novel drug delivery platforms. In the event that the accomplishments of the past can be used into the longer terms, it is exceedingly likely that hydrogels with a wide cluster of alluring properties can be synthesized. The current review, offers an updated summary of latest developments in the nanomedicines field as well as nanobased drug delivery systems over broad study of the discovery/ application of nanomaterials in improving both the efficacy of drugs and targeted delivery of them. The challenges/opportunities of nanomedicine in drug delivery also discussed. SCOPE OF THE RESEARCH: Although several reviews have been published in the field of hydrogels, however many of them have just centralized on the general overviews in terms of "synthesis" and "properties". The utilization of hydrogels and hydrogel-based composites in vital applications have been achieved a great interest. In this review, our aim is to recap of the key points in the field of hydrogels such as; a) hydrogel nanocomposites, b) magnetic beads, c) biomedical applications, and d) drug delivery. In the same vein, these outlines will be expanded with emphasizing on the boon of magnetic beads and recent developments in this area.

Abstract
Abstract
In the present work, Cerium (IV)-Zirconium (IV) oxide nanoparticles (CeO4ZrNPs) was successfully dispersed into Chitosan/15Gelatin nanocomposites with different quantities. The obtained chitosan-based nanocomposites represented remarkable improvements in structural, morphological, mechanical, and thermal properties. Roughness increased from 74 nm to 6.4 nm, Young’s Modulus enhanced from 1.36 GPa to 2.99 GPa. The influence of dispersed CeO4ZrNPs contents on the phase transition temperature (T
g) and the non-isothermal degradation processes of chitosan-based nanocomposites were examined using Differential Scanning Galorimetry (DSC) with different heating rates. Kinetic parameters of the thermal degradation for chitosan-based nanocomposites were evaluated using Kissinger-Akahira-Sunose (KAS) and Kissenger (KIS) procedures. Chitosan-based nanocomposites showed an increase in the thermal degradation temperature with higher activation energies, indicating improved thermal stability. Thermal analysis demonstrated that chitosan-based nanocomposites became more ordered by increasing CeO4ZrNPs as inferred from the negative entropy increase. Moreover, the degradation of chitosan-based nanocomposites has been described as a non-spontaneous process. The resulting information is particularly important in applications in which there is a need to obtain chitosan nanocomposites with improved mechanical and thermal properties such as food packing industry.

Abstract
Magnesium ceramics hold promise for numerous biological applications. This review covers the synthesis of magnesium ceramic particles with specific morphologies and potential modification techniques. Magnesium ceramic particles possess multiple characteristics directly applicable to human biology; they are anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, antiviral, and offer anti-cancer effects. Based on these advantages, magnesium hydroxide nanoparticles have been extensively utilized across biomedical fields. In a vascular stent, the incorporation of magnesium ceramic nanoparticles enhances re-endothelialization. Additionally, tissue regeneration for bone, cartilage, and kidney can be promoted by magnesium ceramics. This review enables researchers to identify the optimum synthetic conditions to prepare magnesium ceramics with specific morphologies and sizes and select the appropriate modification protocols. It is also intended to elucidate the desirable physicochemical properties and biological benefits of magnesium ceramics.

Abstract
BACKGROUND To improve the physicochemical and antibacterial properties of coatings, the chitosan (CS) coatings were respectively prepared by a casting method with zinc oxide (ZnO) and silver (Ag)/ZnO microspheres as modifiers. The chemical structures and micromorphology of ZnO, Ag/ZnO microspheres and CS coatings were characterized by X-ray diffraction, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy. Furthermore, using the dominant spoilage bacteria of aquatic products, Shewanella putrefaciens and Pseudomonas aeruginosa, as objects, the antibacterial activities and mechanism of the CS coatings were investigated. RESULTS The results show that ZnO and Ag/ZnO microspheres are dispersed homogeneously in the CS coatings. After modified by ZnO and Ag/ZnO microspheres, the mechanical properties and antibacterial abilities of the CS coatings are improved, and that of 0.5% Ag/ZnO-CS coating is the optimal. For pure CS coating, the bacterial cell membrane is damaged slightly because of the electrostatic interaction between NH3+ of CS and the negative charge on bacterial surface. After treated by ZnO-CS composite coating, the bacterial cell membrane is destroyed badly on account of the earlier-mentioned ion interaction and disturbing the synthesis of high molecular weight total protein. CONCLUSION With regard to Ag/ZnO-CS composite coating, the bacterial cell membrane is damaged seriously and cell contents are completely released due to ion interaction, disturbing the synthesis of high molecular weight total protein and low molecular weight membrane protein. Hence, Ag/ZnO-CS composite coatings are antimicrobial materials and food preservative materials with great potential application. © 2020 Society of Chemical Industry.

Abstract
Safe coating formulated from biopolymer can be an alternative for better packaging for fruits. Among biopolymers used for safe coating, polysaccharides attracted more attention due to its biocompatibility and edibility. However, polysaccharide-based materials have weaknesses such as low water barrier and mechanical properties which result in lower capability on preserving the coated fruits. Hence, the incorporation of nanoparticles (NPs) such as zinc oxide (ZnO) is expected to increase the ability of polysaccharide-based coating for the enhancement of fruit shelf life. In this review paper, the basic information and the latest updates on the incorporation of ZnO NPs into the polysaccharide-based safe coating for fruit are presented. Various research has investigated polysaccharide-ZnO nanocomposite safe coating to prolong the shelf life of fruits. The polysaccharides used include chitosan, alginate, carrageenan, cellulose, and pectin. Overall, polysaccharide-ZnO nanocomposites can improve the shelf life of fruits by reducing weight loss, maintaining firmness, reducing the ripening process, reducing respiration, reducing the oxidation process, and inhibiting microbial growth. Finally, the challenges and potential of ZnO NPs as an active agent in the safe coating application are also discussed.

Abstract
In the current study, electrospun poly(ε-caprolactone)-gelatin (PCL-Gel) fibrous scaffolds containing magnesium oxide (MgO) particles and preseeded with human endometrial stem cells (hEnSCs) were developed to use as wound care material in skin tissue engineering applications. Electrospun fibers were fabricated using PCL-Gel (1:1 [wt/wt]) with different concentrations of MgO particles (1, 2, and 4 wt%). The fibrous scaffolds were evaluated regarding their microstructure, mechanical properties, surface wettability, and in vitro and in vivo performances. The full-thickness excisional wound model was used to evaluate the in vivo wound healing ability of the fabricated scaffolds. Our findings confirmed that the wounds covered with PCL-Gel fibrous scaffolds containing 2 wt% MgO and preseeded with hEnSCs have nearly 79% wound closure ability while sterile gauze showed 11% of wound size reduction. Our results can be employed for biomaterials aimed at the healing of full-thickness skin wounds.
