Int J Biol Macromol 2024; 269:131759. [PMID: 38679272 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2024.131759] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/31/2024] [Revised: 04/13/2024] [Accepted: 04/20/2024] [Indexed: 05/01/2024]
Abstract
Among biopolymer-based adsorbents, composites in the form of beads have shown promising results in terms of high adsorption capacity and ease of separation from the effluents. This review addresses the potential of biopolymer-based beads to remediate wastewaters polluted with emerging organic contaminants, for instance dyes, active pharmaceutical ingredients, pesticides, phenols, oils, polyaromatic hydrocarbons, and polychlorinated biphenyls. High adsorption capacities up to 2541.76 mg g-1 for dyes, 392 mg g-1 for pesticides and phenols, 1890.3 mg g-1 for pharmaceuticals, and 537 g g-1 for oils and organic solvents have been reported. The review also attempted to convey to its readers the significance of wastewater treatment through adsorption by providing an overview on decontamination technologies of organic water contaminants. Various preparation methods of biopolymer-based gel beads and adsorption mechanisms involved in the process of decontamination have been summarized and analyzed. Therefore, we believe there is an urge to discuss the current state of the application of biopolymer-based gel beads for the adsorption of organic pollutants from wastewater and future perspectives in this regard since it is imperative to treat wastewater before releasing into freshwater bodies.

Abstract
With the growing demand for eco-friendly materials in wearable smart electronic devices, renewable, biocompatible, and low-cost hydrogels based on natural polymers have attracted much attention. Cellulose, as one of the renewable and degradable natural polymers, shows great potential in wearable smart electronic devices. Multifunctional conductive cellulose-based hydrogels are designed for flexible electronic devices by adding sodium carboxymethyl cellulose and MXene into polyacrylic acid networks. The multifunctional hydrogels possess excellent mechanical property (stress: 310 kPa; strain: 1127 %), toughness (206.67 KJ m-3), conductivity (1.09 ± 0.12 S m-1) and adhesion (82.19 ± 3.65 kPa). The multifunctional conductive hydrogels serve as strain sensors (Gauge Factor (GF) = 5.79, 0-700 % strain; GF = 14.0, 700-900 % strain; GF = 40.36, 900-1000 % strain; response time: 300 ms; recovery time: 200 ms) and temperature sensors (Temperature coefficient of resistance (TCR) = 2.5755 °C-1 at 35 °C- 60 °C). The sensor detects human activities with clear and steady signals. A distributed array of flexible sensors is created to measure the magnitude and distribution of pressure and a hydrogel-based flexible touch keyboard is also fabricated to recognize writing trajectories, pressures and speeds. Furthermore, a flexible hydrogel-based supercapacitor powers the LED and exhibits good cyclic stability over 15,000 charge-discharge cycles.

Abstract
In this study, we synthesized hollow porous iron oxide nanoparticles (HPIONPs) with surface modifications using polymers, specifically chitosan (Chi), polyethylene glycol (PEG), and alginate (Alg), to improve colloidal stability and biocompatibility. For colloidal stability, Alg-coated HPIONPs maintained size stability up to 24 h, with only an 18% increase, while Chi, PEG, and uncoated HPIONPs showed larger size increases ranging from 64 to 140%. The biocompatibility of polymer-coated HPIONPs was evaluated by assessing their cell viability, genotoxicity, and hemocompatibility. Across tested concentrations from 6.25 to 100 μg/mL, both uncoated and polymer-coated HPIONPs showed minimal cytotoxicity against three normal cell lines: RAW264.7, 3T3-L1, and MCF10A, with cell viability exceeding 80% at the highest concentration. Notably, polymer-coated HPIONPs exhibited nongenotoxicity based on the micronucleus assay and showed hemocompatibility, with only 2-3% hemolysis in mouse blood, in contrast to uncoated HPIONPs which exhibited 4-5%. Furthermore, we evaluated the cytotoxicity of HPIONPs on MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cells after a 2 h exposure to a stationary magnetic field, and the results showed the highest cell death of 38 and 29% when treated with uncoated and polymer-coated HPIONPs at 100 μg/mL, respectively. This phenomenon is attributed to iron catalyzing the Fenton and Haber-Weiss reactions, leading to reactive oxygen species (ROS)-dependent cell death (r ≥ 0.98). In conclusion, the hydrothermal synthesis and subsequent surface modification of HPIONPs with polymers showed improved colloidal stability, nongenotoxicity, and hemocompatibility compared to uncoated HPIONPs while maintaining closely similar levels of cytotoxicity against both normal and cancer cells. This research has paved the way for further exploration of polymer coatings to enhance the overall performance and safety profile of magnetic nanoparticles in delivering anticancer drugs.
