Abstract
Pressure ulcer dressings with different functions can enhance wound healing ability to varying degrees; however, pressure ulcer dressings that integrate various functions and break the resistance of bacteria to traditional antibiotics have not been widely studied. We proposed a self-pumping/super-absorbent/transportable drug dressing (PLD-SLD), polycaprolactone (PCL)/sodium alginate (SA) was used to load platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) and lidocaine hydrochloride (LID) by Janus electrospinning and self-assembly technology, and Ɛ-polylysine was used as a biological bacteriostatic agent to prepare a multi-layer dressing. SEM showed that the dressing had a fluffy structure. The dressing can pump the exudate to the SA layer away from the skin. The swelling ratio reached 1378.667 ± 44.752 %. Coagulate blood in 5 min. On the 8th day, the unclosed area rate of the PLD-SLD dressing group was 16.112 ± 0.088 % lower than that of the model group. Importantly, the dressing can induce the expression of CD31, VEGF, α-SMA, and reduce the expression of CD68, thereby giving priority to wound healing. There was no scar formation after healing. In this study, a new dressing preparation method was proposed for the problems of exudate management, infection control, pain relief and healing promotion of stage 3-4 pressure ulcer healing.

Abstract
At present, many oil-water separation membranes are being developed to purify oily wastewater. However, oily wastewater often contains heavy metal, which are often difficult to dispose during separation. Furthermore, most of the oil-water separation membranes cannot be degraded after scrap, producing pollution to environment. Herein, the polyvinyl alcohol/chitosan@carnauba wax (PCGCW) membrane with heavy metal adsorption and biodegradation performance was acquired by electrospinning and spraying process. The acquired PCGCW membrane had excellent mechanical properties after crosslinking glutaraldehyde (GA). Furthermore, the composite membrane had excellent superhydrophobic property (WCA = 154°) with a rolling angle of 2°, due to the introduction of carnauba wax. Exhilaratingly, for emulsions with surfactant, it had a high separation flux with 19,217 L·m-2·h-1·bar-1 and splendid an oil purity over 99.9 %. Besides, the efficiency of oil purity and separation flux remained stable even after 10 separations. In addition, the PCGCW membrane had the ability to adsorb heavy metals with adsorption capacity of 51-106 mg/g for Cu2+, Fe3+, Co2+ ions. Foremost, the superhydrophobic PCGCW membrane was biodegradable, with degrading 29.76 % within 40 days. The prepared composite membrane had the advantages of low cost, high separation flux, great repeatability, adsorbable heavy metals and degradability, which had a vast application prospect.

Abstract
Herein, a highly efficient colorimetric chemosensor incorporating ion-imprinted electrospun nanofiber was developed for the removal and detection of Cu2+ ions. In this regard, PVA/chitosan composites were used as the polymeric matrix, and 1-(2-pyridylazo)-2-naphthol was employed for complex formation. The prepared naked-eye sensor was characterized using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, atomic force microscopy, differential scanning calorimetry, thermogravimetric analysis, and X-ray diffraction analysis, revealing the morphological, structural, and molecular properties of the sensor. The results showed that the colorimetric chemosensor based on copper-imprinted nanofiber (Cu-INF) possesses higher selectivity for Cu2+ compared to interference ions. The selectivity coefficient (k) and relative selectivity coefficient (K') indicated the selective behavior of Cu-INF in the adsorption of Cu2+ in binary systems including Cu2+/Co2+, Cu2+/Ni2+, and Cu2+/Zn2+. Furthermore, the ion-imprinted nanofiber was used for the preconcentration of copper ions, demonstrating a high adsorption capacity of 128.205 mg g-1 for Cu2+. The equilibrium adsorption isotherm and adsorption kinetics of Cu2+ on Cu-INF followed the Freundlich adsorption isotherm and a pseudo-second-order model, respectively. The developed sensor exhibited a linear detection range of 5 × 10-8 - 2 × 10-7 M with a limit of detection (LOD) of 1.07 × 10-8 M for copper ions. The results indicated satisfactory adsorption and successful detection of Cu2+ at trace concentrations.

Abstract
Electroconductive polymers are the materials of interest for the fabrication of electro-conductive tissues. Metal ions through the redox systems offer polymers with electrical conductivity. In this study, we processed a gelatin methacrylate (GelMA) network with gold nanoparticles (GNPs) through a redox system with parahydroxybenzaldehyde (PHB) or curcumin to enhance its electrical conductivity. Induction of the redox system with both PHB and curcumin into the GelMA, introduced some new functional groups into the polymeric network, as it has been confirmed by H-NMR and FTIR. These new bonds resulted in higher electro-conductivity when GNPs were added to the polymer. Higher electroactivity was achieved by PHB compared to the curcumin-induced redox system, and the addition of GNPs without redox system induction showed the lowest electroactivity. MTT was used to evaluate the biocompatibility of the resultant polymers, and the PHB-treated hydrogels showed higher proliferative effects on the cells. The findings of this study suggest that the introduction of a redox system by PHB in the GelMA network along with GNPs can contribute to the electrochemical properties of the material. This electroactivity can be advantageous for tissue engineering of electro-conductive tissues like cardiac and nervous tissues.

Abstract
Reducing contamination from percolate is critical to the preservation of foods with high water content, such as pork. This study aims to develop a novel active packaging material for meat preservation by precisely controlled dual-channel one-step electrospinning. Compared to traditional strategies of preparing Janus films, this method allows for greater flexibility and efficiency. The structure and properties of the Janus film are characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), water contact angle (WCA), directional liquid transport investigation, Thymol release and permeation features, and biocompatibility evaluation. Moreover, the Janus film is applied to the packaging of pork with modified atmosphere packaging to demonstrate its practical application prospects in the food active packaging field. The results revealed that the two sides of the film showed completely different wettability, and the change rate of WCA increased with the increase of the scale of hydrophilic fibers. The permeation features of thymol loaded in the film was consistent with the results of antibacterial properties and biocompatibility assessment. Moreover, the Janus film can effectively prolong the shelf life, improve the quality and safety of the pork.

Abstract
Healing of significant segmental bone defects remains a challenge, and various studies attempt to make materials that mimic bone structures and have biocompatibility, bioactivity, biodegradability, and osteoconductivity to native bone tissues. In this work, a nanofiber scaffold membrane of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA)/polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP)/chitosan (CS) combined with hydroxyapatite (HAp) from sand lobster (SL; Panulirus homarus) shells, as a calcium source, was successfully synthesized to mimic the nanoscale extracellular matrix (ECM) in the native bone. The HAp from SL shells was synthesized by co-precipitation method with Ca/P of 1.67 and incorporated into the nanofiber membrane PVA/PVP/CS synthesized by the electrospinning method with varying concentrations, i.e. 0, 1, 3, and 5% (w/v). Based on the morphological and physicochemical analysis, the addition of HAp into the nanofiber successfully showed incorporation into the nanofiber with small agglomeration at HAp concentrations of 1, 3, and 5% (w/v). This led to a smaller fiber diameter with higher concentration of Hap, and incorporating HAp into the nanofiber could improve the mechanical properties of the nanofiber closer to the trabecula bone. Moreover, in general, swelling due to water absorption increases due to higher hydrophilicity at higher HAp concentrations and leads to the improvement of the degradation process and protein adsorption of the nanofiber. Biomineralization in a simulated body fluid (SBF) solution confirms that the HAp in the nanofiber increases bioactivity, and it can be seen that more apatite is formed during longer immersion in the SBF solution. The nanofiber PVA/PVP/CS HAp 5% has the most potential for osteoblast (MC3T3E1) cell viability after being incubated for 24 h, and it allowed the cell to attach and proliferate. Additionally, the higher HAp concentration in the nanofiber scaffold membrane can significantly promote the osteogenic differentiation of MC3T3E1 cells. Overall, the PVA/PVP/CS/HAp 5% nanofiber scaffold membrane has the most potential for bone tissue engineering.

Abstract
Herein, a quadruple biomagnetic nanocomposite of cross-linked chitosan-ethylene glycol diglycidyl ether/organo-nanoclay (MCH-EGDE/ORNC) was designed for the uptake of remazol brilliant blue R (RBBR) dye from aqueous environment. The adsorption process was systematically improved via the Box-Behnken design (BBD) to determine the influence of key uptake parameters, including MCH-EGDE/ORNC dosage, pH, and time, on the RBBR removal. The highest RBBR removal of 87.5 % was achieved at the following conditions: MCH-EGDE/ORNC dosage: 0.1 g/100 mL; pH: 4.0; contact time: 25 min. The findings of the kinetics and equilibrium studies revealed an excellent fit to the pseudo-second order and the Freundlich models, respectively. The adsorption capacity of the MCH-EGDE/ORNC for RBBR was found to be 168.4 mg/g, showcasing its remarkable adsorption capability. The present work highlights the potential of MCH-EGDE/ORNC biomaterial as an advanced adsorbent and lays the foundation for future applications in water purification and environmental remediation.

Abstract
Chitosan-based aerogels were fabricated through utilizing of nanofibrillated cellulose (NFC)/CaCO3 composites. Chitosan aerogel and extra three aerogels loaded different concentrations of NFC/CaCO3 were investigated to explore their release efficiency of Tebuconazole pesticides. Results obtained from ATR-FTIR showed a remarkable decline of the characterized chitosan hydroxyl group peak prolonging with appearance of new peaks assigned to the inclusion of inorganic calcium element. Also, SEM images showed chitosan aerogel with regular porous structure increased by incorporation with of NFC/CaCO3 nanocomposite, while EDS affirmed the presence of calcium element rather pristine chitosan aerogel. In addition to this, the physical characterizations showed significant improvement in swelling properties for aerogels incorporated NFC/CaCO3 nanocomposite at low ratios. Chitosan aerogel reinforced NFC/CaCO3 nanocomposite exhibited benefit on loading and release efficiency of Tebuconazole. All samples showed accessibility to column release method with fastest release at low slow rate 2 mL/min as giving chance for diffusion and solubility of ingredient, while release increase as heat increase as result of pore expansion. In conclusion, chitosan aerogels incorporated calcium carbonate showed better-sustained release of Tebuconazole pesticides than pristine chitosan aerogel. The produced aerogels loaded NFC/CaCO3 nanocomposite could be promising for controlled release of pesticides at water-streams in agriculture sector.

Membrane technology has extensively been used in diverse phenomena such as separation, purification and controlled transportation. Herein, gelatin-incorporated porous chitosan membranes have been prepared using the sol-gel approach for potential water desalination applications. The porogens of poly(ethylene glycol) and Triton X-100 were employed for the mentioned purpose. The prepared porous membranes have been characterized for surface chemical, structural, thermal, mechanical and functional attributes using appropriate analytical approaches. Electron microscopy expressed porous surface morphologies of the resultant films with an average pore size of 14.5 nm. The infrared analysis demonstrated a successful crosslinking of the precursors in the resulting membranes via maleic anhydride. Differential scanning calorimetry analysis disclosed acceptable thermal stability of the test membranes, workable above ambient temperatures. The membrane expressed a water contact of 68.59°, which indicated moderate hydrophilicity, thus allowing controlled transport of the aqueous media. The resultant gelatin/chitosan porous membrane exhibited a porosity of 98 % against kerosene oil. In contrast, the flowability of 7.14 (ethanol), 5.00 (distilled water) and 0.53 (ethylene glycol) mL/min has been recorded against the mentioned liquids. The membrane efficiently purified the local canal water to permissible limits. Such membranes have been qualified for potential applications in water purification systems.

Abstract
Biodegradable polylactic acid (PLA) nanofibrous membranes (NFMs) hold great potential to address the increasing airborne particulate matter (PM) and dramatic accumulation of plastic/microplastic pollution. However, the field of PLA NFM-based filters is still in its infancy, frequently dwarfed by the bottlenecks regarding relatively low surface activity, poor electroactivity, and insufficient PM capturing mechanisms. This effort discloses a microwave-assisted approach to minute-level synthesis of dielectric ZIF-8 nanocrystals with high specific surface area (over 1012 m2/g) and ultrasmall size (∼240 nm), which were intimately anchored onto PLA nanofibers (PLA@ZIF-8) by a combined "electrospinning-electrospray" strategy. This endowed the PLA@ZIF-8 NFMs with largely increased electroactivity in terms of elevated dielectric coefficient (an increase of 202%), surface potential (up to 5.8 kV), and triboelectric properties (output voltage of 30.8 V at 10 N, 0.5 Hz). Given the profound control over morphology and electroactivity, the PLA@ZIF-8 NFMs exhibited efficient filtration of PM0.3 (97.1%, 85 L/min) with a decreased air resistance (592.5 Pa), surpassing that of the pure PLA counterpart (88.4%, 650.9 Pa). This was essentially ascribed to realization of multiple filtration mechanisms for PLA@ZIF-8 NFMs, including enhanced physical interception, polar interactions, and electrostatic adsorption, and the unique self-charging function triggered by airflow vibrations. Moreover, perfect antibacterial performance was achieved for PLA@ZIF-8, showing ultrahigh inhibition rates of 99.9 and 100% against E. coli and S. aureus, respectively. The proposed hierarchical structuring strategy, offering the multifunction integration unattainable with conventional methods, may facilitate the development of biodegradable long-term air filters.

Abstract
In the era of rapid and conspicuous progress of water treatment technologies, combined adsorption and membrane filtration systems have gained great attention as a novel and efficient method for contaminant removal from aqueous phase. Further development of these techniques for water/wastewater treatment applications will be promising for the recovery of water resources as well as reducing the water tension throughout the world. This review introduces the state-of-the-art on the capabilities of the combined adsorption-membrane filtration systems for water and wastewater treatment applications. Technical information including employed materials, superiorities, operational limitations, process sustainability and upgradeing strategies for two general configurations i.e. hybrid (pre-adsorption and post-adsorption) and integrated (film adsorbents, low pressure membrane-adsorption coupling and membrane-adsorption bioreactors) systems has been surveyed and presented. Having a systematic look at the fundamentals of hybridization/integration of the two well-established and efficient separation methods as well as spotlighting the current status and prospectives of the combination strategies, this work will be valuable to all the interested researchers working on design and development of cutting-edge wastewater/water treatment techniques. This review also draws a clear roadmap for either decision making and choosing the best alternative for a specific target in water treatment or making a plan for further enhancement and scale-up of an available strategy.

Abstract
Chitosan bead grafted by third-generation dendrimers (CB-G3) with a diameter of 1.40 mm was synthesized to investigate their performance in recovering Ag(I), Cu(II), and Pb(II) ions in aqueous media. The prepared adsorbents were characterized by XRD, FT-IR, elemental analysis, TGA, and SEM, and the effects of pH, contact time, concentration, and temperature were examined. The results showed that the adsorbents were successfully fabricated. The optimum pH value was 5, and the increased generation number contributed to adsorption capacity improvement, indicating that electrostatic interactions between amine groups and metal ions are the governing mechanism of adsorption by the CB-G3. The kinetics, isotherms, and thermodynamics of Ag(I), Cu(II), and Pb(II) adsorption onto the CB-G3 were investigated. The adsorption processes can be described using pseudo-second-order kinetic and Langmuir models. The maximum monolayer adsorption capacities were 105.62, 88.82, and 97.87 mg·g-1 for Ag(I), Cu(II), and Pb(II) at 30 °C within 210 min, respectively. Electrostatic interactions and hydrogen bonds are the main mechanisms between metal ions and N atoms. Therefore, the CB-G3 is a promising candidate for Ag(I), Cu(II), and Pb(II) adsorption owing to its splendid ability in easy separation, good adsorptivity, and reusability for efficiently adsorbing Ag(I), Cu(II), and Pb(II) ions.

Abstract
Water sources are becoming increasingly scarce, and they are contaminated by industrial, residential, and agricultural waste-derived organic and inorganic contaminants. These contaminants may pollute the air, water, and soil in addition to invading the ecosystem. Because carbon nanotubes (CNTs) can undergo surface modification, they can combine with other substances to create nanocomposites (NCs), including biopolymers, metal nanoparticles, proteins, and metal oxides. Furthermore, biopolymers are significant classes of organic materials that are widely used for various applications. They have drawn attention due to their benefits such as environmental friendliness, availability, biocompatibility, safety, etc. As a result, the synthesis of a composite made of CNT and biopolymers can be very effective for a variety of applications, especially those involving the environment. In this review, we reported environmental applications (including removal of dyes, nitro compounds, hazardous materialsو toxic ions, etc.) of composites made of CNT and biopolymers such as lignin, cellulose, starch, chitosan, chitin, alginate, and gum. Also, the effect of different factors such as the medium pH, the pollutant concentration, temperature, and contact time on the adsorption capacity (AC) and the catalytic activity of the composite in the reduction or degradation of various pollutants has been systematically explained.

Abstract
In this study, sulfonated starch (SS) was successfully synthesized using sulfamic acid as a sulfonating agent in a deep eutectic solvent (DES). Four-factor and three-level orthogonal experiments were conducted to determine the optimal preparation conditions, which were found to be a molar ratio of starch to urea of 1:20, a reaction temperature of 90 °C, a reaction time of 5 h, and a stirring speed of 200 rpm. The sulfonation reaction mechanism was extensively studied using various techniques, including Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, elemental analysis, X-ray diffraction, molecular weight, particle distribution, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and DFT calculations. The results showed that the sulfonation reaction slightly damaged starch granules, occurred on the surface of starch granules, and on the O6 atoms of the glucose unit. SS exhibited a wide pH range of application (5-10), a fast adsorption rate (400 s to reach adsorption equilibrium), and a high adsorption capacity (118.3 mg/g) under optimal conditions. The adsorption process of SS for methylene blue followed the pseudo-first-order kinetic model and was consistent with the Langmuir model, which was endothermic and spontaneous. The adsorption process was attributed to hydrogen bonding and electrostatic interactions.

Abstract
Due to their large specific surface area and numerous diffusion channels, hollow fibers are widely used in wastewater treatment. In this study, we successfully synthesized a chitosan (CS)/polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP)/polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) hollow nanofiber membrane (CS/PVP/PVA-HNM) via coaxial electrospinning. This membrane demonstrated remarkable permeability and adsorption separation. Specifically, the CS/PVP/PVA-HNM had a pure water permeability of 4367.02 L·m-2·h-1·bar-1. The hollow electrospun nanofibrous membrane exhibited a continuous interlaced nanofibrous framework structure with the extraordinary advantages of high porosity and high permeability. The rejection ratios of CS/PVP/PVA-HNM for Cu2+, Ni2+, Cd2+, Pb2+, malachite green (MG), methylene blue (MB) and crystal violet (CV) were 96.91 %, 95.29 %, 87.50 %, 85.13 %, 88.21 %, 83.91 % and 71.99 %, and the maximum adsorption capacities were 106.72, 97.46, 88.10, 87.81, 53.45, 41.43, and 30.97 mg·g-1, respectively. This work demonstrates a strategy for the synthesis of hollow nanofibers, which provides a novel concept for the design and fabrication of highly efficient adsorption separation membranes.

Abstract
Nanomaterials have been extensively used in polymer nanocomposite membranes due to the inclusion of unique features that enhance water and wastewater treatment performance. Compared to the pristine membranes, the incorporation of nanomodifiers not only improves membrane performance (water permeability, salt rejection, contaminant removal, selectivity), but also the intrinsic properties (hydrophilicity, porosity, antifouling properties, antimicrobial properties, mechanical, thermal, and chemical stability) of these membranes. This review focuses on applications of different types of nanomaterials: zero-dimensional (metal/metal oxide nanoparticles), one-dimensional (carbon nanotubes), two-dimensional (graphene and associated structures), and three-dimensional (zeolites and associated frameworks) nanomaterials combined with polymers towards novel polymeric nanocomposites for water and wastewater treatment applications. This review will show that combinations of nanomaterials and polymers impart enhanced features into the pristine membrane; however, the underlying issues associated with the modification processes and environmental impact of these membranes are less obvious. This review also highlights the utility of computational methods toward understanding the structural and functional properties of the membranes. Here, we highlight the fabrication methods, advantages, challenges, environmental impact, and future scope of these advanced polymeric nanocomposite membrane based systems for water and wastewater treatment applications.

Abstract
Water quality and disposability are among the main challenges that governments and societies will outside during the next years due to their close relationship to population growth and urbanization and their direct influence on the environment and socio-economic development. Potable water suitable for human consumption is a key resource that, unfortunately, is strongly limited by anthropogenic pollution and climate change. In this regard, new groups of compounds, referred to as emerging contaminants, represent a risk to human health and living species; they have already been identified in water bodies as a result of increased industrialization. Pesticides, cosmetics, personal care products, pharmaceuticals, organic dyes, and other man-made chemicals indispensable for modern society are among the emerging pollutants of difficult remediation by traditional methods of wastewater treatment. However, the majority of the currently used waste management and remediation techniques require significant amounts of energy and chemicals, which can themselves be sources of secondary pollution. Therefore, this review reported newly advanced, efficient, and sustainable techniques and approaches for water purification. In particular, new advancements in sustainable membrane-based filtration technologies are discussed, together with their modification through a rational safe-by-design to modulate their hydrophilicity, porosity, surface characteristics, and adsorption performances. Thus, their preparation by the use of biopolymer-based gels is described, as well as their blending with functional cross-linkers or nanofillers or by advanced and innovative approaches, such as electrospinning.
