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.

Rahmatpour A, Shoghinia B, Alizadeh AH. A self-assembling hydrogel nanocomposite based on xanthan gum modified with SiO 2 NPs and HPAM for improved adsorption of crystal violet cationic dye from aqueous solution. Carbohydr Polym 2024; 330:121819. [PMID: 38368101 DOI: 10.1016/j.carbpol.2024.121819] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/02/2023] [Revised: 12/20/2023] [Accepted: 01/10/2024] [Indexed: 02/19/2024]
Abstract
This paper presents the rational design and novel synthesis of multifunctional nanocomposite hydrogel derived from xanthan gum (XG) modified with silica nanoparticles and partially hydrolyzed polyacrylamide (HPAM) via H-bonding interactions (self-assembly) through the "green" gelation process in water. Different techniques have been employed to characterize HPAM/SiO2@XG, including FT-IR, FE-SEM, XRD, TEM, BET, and TG/DTG as well as swelling kinetics. Crystal violet (CV)'s adsorption performance was investigated using batch experiments by varying various variables involving adsorbent composition, pH, adsorbent quantity, contact time, CV concentration, ionic strength, and temperature. A well-fitting Langmuir isotherm was found for the adsorption data at 30 °C and pH 7.0, yielding 342.19 mg CV/g as the equilibrium state's maximum adsorption (qm). CV adsorption data agreed better with the pseudo-second-order model than other kinetic models. Furthermore, the HPAM/SiO2@XG nanocomposite hydrogel showed a significant increase in adsorption capacity over the SiO2@XG hydrogel precursor. According to thermodynamic analysis, CV adsorbs to HPAM/XG@SiO2 spontaneously and exothermically. Our results showed that the nanocomposite hydrogel's functional groups interact with CV predominantly through electrostatic interactions, coupled with H-bonding. Nanocomposite hydrogel has been regenerated using a five-cycle adsorption-desorption process, and the efficiency of CV removal has remained a satisfactory level of removal efficiency (94.5 % to 71.5 %).

Abstract
Dopamine (DA) and l-tyrosine (l-Tyr) are neurotransmitters involved in various neuropsychiatric disorders. Therefore, it is important to monitor their levels for diagnosis and treatment. In this study, we synthesized poly (methacrylic acid)/graphene oxide aerogels (p(MAA)/GOA) by in situ polymerization and freeze-drying using graphene oxide and methacrylic acid as substrates. Then, the p(MAA)/GOA were applied as solid-phase extraction adsorbents to extract DA and l-Tyr from urine samples, followed by quantification using high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The p(MAA)/GOA showed better adsorption performance for DA and l-Tyr than commercial adsorbents, likely as a result of the strong adsorption of the target analytes via π-π and hydrogen bonding interactions. Further, the developed method had good linearity (r > 0.9990) at concentrations of DA and l-Tyr of 0.075-2.0 and 0.75-20.0 μg mL-1, respectively, as well as a limit of detection of 0.018-0.048 μg mL-1, limit of quantitation of 0.059-0.161 μg mL-1, spiked recovery of 91.1-104.0%, and interday precision of 3.58-7.30%.The method was successfully applied to determine DA and l-Tyr in the urine samples of patients suffering from depression, demonstrating its potential for clinical applications.

Abstract
Pollution of phenolic effluent from spice and plastics factories has become increasingly serious. Thus, developing a green and highly efficient adsorbent to remove phenolic compounds from wastewater is of urgent need. In this study, cellulose graft copolymer was synthesized through grafting 4-vinylpyridine monomer and polyethylene glycol methacrylate to a molecular skeleton of cellulose by free radical polymerization. The supramolecular hydrogel was successfully synthesized by physical cross-linking of cellulose graft copolymer and α-cyclodextrin. These supramolecular hydrogels were thoroughly characterized and the adsorption performance (adsorption isotherms and adsorption kinetics) of phenol on the supramolecular hydrogel were investigated in batch operation. The supramolecular hydrogel not only exhibited excellent adsorption of phenol, but also demonstrated increased mechanical strength due to the introduction of a modified cellulose base material. The adsorption kinetics of phenol on the supramolecular hydrogel followed a quasi-second-order reaction, with a correlation coefficient of 0.9909. The adsorption isotherm conformed to the Langmuir adsorption isotherm, and the maximum adsorption capacity of phenol can reach 80.71 mg g-1, which was 2-3 times higher than traditional carbon-based materials. The results demonstrate the great promise of the waste-derived supramolecular hydrogel to be used as an efficient adsorbent in wastewater treatment.

Abstract
Nowadays, the rapid emergence of antibiotic-resistant pathogens has become a serious threat to human health. As an effective antimicrobial therapy, supramolecular materials show unprecedented advantages because of their flexible and adjustable interactions with biological molecules. Supramolecular hydrogels are now widely applied in biomedical fields because of their outstanding biocompatibility, high water content, easy preparation, and unique functions. Herein, we conveniently prepared a stable supramolecular hydrogel by simply mixing β-cyclodextrin-modified chitosan (CS-CD) with AgNO3 in a basic environment. The obtained supramolecular hydrogel, which is positively charged and possesses numerous β-cyclodextrin cavities, could efficiently load anionic drug diclofenac sodium (DS) through the electrostatic interaction and host-guest inclusion. Significantly, the biological experiments demonstrated that this supramolecular hydrogel exhibited a high antibacterial effect and good ability of promoting wound healing owing to the cooperative contribution of CS, Ag+, and DS.

Abstract
Due to their distinct and useful features, multi-color-emissive carbon dots (CDs) have gained much attention, however, their lack of red emission has so far limited their practical use for various applications, thus understanding of their emission origins is required. Concentration-dependent photoluminescence (PL) is a unique feature of CDs and is regarded as one way to realize tunable PL, providing information on their PL mechanism. In this work, we synthesized concentration-dependent blue/red dual-color-emissive CDs under single excitation at 365 nm. With the increase in concentration, the blue emission band showed a large red-shift from 431 to 500 nm, while the red emission band at around 650 nm showed only a relative intensity change, without a significant spectral shift. We performed spectroscopic analysis by changing the solution environment including the solvent type and pH to investigate the origins of the two emission bands. These results, combined with the zeta potential and fluorescence microscopy results, confirmed that the interparticle distance of CDs is a key factor for their dual-emissive PL behavior. With the advantage of unique PL features, we showed the potential of the CDs for white light-emitting diode (WLED) and ratiometric pH sensing applications.

Abstract
Self-assembled hydrogel materials constructed from cyclodextrin polymer (P-CD)/adamantane-modified poly acrylic acid (PAA-Ad) were designed and prepared via host-guest interactions. It was observed that the prepared supramolecular hydrogels had an interconnected three-dimensional porous network. In addition, the obtained hydrogels showed a recovery performance and it was confirmed that the host-guest interactions between β-cyclodextrin and adamantane were the main driving force for the formation of the hydrogels. The mechanical properties of the hydrogels could be adjusted by varying the concentrations of PAA-Ad. In particular, the prepared supramolecular hydrogels exhibited superior performances in water purification. The results demonstrated that the hydrogels possessed different mechanisms in the adsorption of the four typical poisonous organic dye molecules used, including bisphenol A (BPA), 4-aminoazobenzene (N-Azo), methylene blue (MB), and rhodamine B (RhB). The hydrogels mainly adsorbed N-Azo by host-guest interaction and adsorbed BPA by host-guest interaction and hydrogen bond synergy. They also adsorbed MB and RhB by hydrogen bonding and electrostatic interaction.

Abstract
The introduction of cyclodextrin species to graphene-family materials (GFMs) constitutes an important area of research, especially in terms of the development of applied nanoscience. The chemistry of cyclodextrins is the so-called host-guest chemistry, which has impacted on many fields of research, including catalysis, electrochemistry and nanomedicine. Cyclodextrins are water-soluble and biocompatible supramolecules, and therefore they may introduce new interesting properties to GFMs and may enhance the physicochemical/biological features of native GFMs. The reported methods for the conjugation of cyclodextrins to GFMs utilize either covalent or non-covalent approaches. The recent progress in the applications of GFMs functionalized with cyclodextrins, with the respect to the chemistry and features of these conjugates, is discussed. Special consideration is also given to the recent developments in (i) nanomedicine, (ii) electrochemistry, (iii) adsorption and (iv) catalysis. Examples of these materials are discussed in this work, together with the future outlook on the impact of GFM-cyclodextrin conjugates in the development of applied nanoscience.
