Abstract
Nanotechnology has become a revolutionary technique for improving the preliminary treatment of lignocellulosic biomass in the production of biofuels. Traditional methods of pre-treatment have encountered difficulties in effectively degrading the intricate lignocellulosic composition, thereby impeding the conversion of biomass into fermentable sugars. Nanotechnology has enabled the development of enzyme cascade processes that present a potential solution for addressing the limitations. The focus of this review article is to delve into the utilization of nanotechnology in the pretreatment of lignocellulosic biomass through enzyme cascade processes. The review commences with an analysis of the composition and structure of lignocellulosic biomass, followed by a discussion on the drawbacks associated with conventional pre-treatment techniques. The subsequent analysis explores the importance of efficient pre-treatment methods in the context of biofuel production. We thoroughly investigate the utilization of nanotechnology in the pre-treatment of enzyme cascades across three distinct sections. Nanomaterials for enzyme immobilization, enhanced enzyme stability and activity through nanotechnology, and nanocarriers for controlled enzyme delivery. Moreover, the techniques used to analyse nanomaterials and the interactions between enzymes and nanomaterials are introduced. This review emphasizes the significance of comprehending the mechanisms underlying the synergy between nanotechnology and enzymes establishing sustainable and environmentally friendly nanotechnology applications.

Abstract
Developing cost-effective and efficient adsorbents for heavy metals in multicomponent systems is a challenge that needs to be resolved to meet the challenges of wastewater treatment technology. Two adsorbents were synthesized, characterized, and investigated for the removal of Cd2+ and Cr3+ as model heavy metals in their single and binary solutions. The first adsorbent (ACZ) was a nanocomposite formed of O-Carboxymethyl chitosan, sodium alginate, and zeolite. While, the other (ACL) contained ZnFe layered double hydroxides instead of the zeolite phase. Adsorbents were characterized using XRD, FTIR, SEM, and swelling degree analysis. For single heavy metal adsorption isotherms, data for both adsorbents was best fitted and indicated a multilayer adsorption nature. For binary adsorption, Langmuir model with interacting parameters showed the best results compared to other models for both pollutants. For single system, Avrami model was found to be the best model representing the adsorption kinetics data, which indicates that the mechanism of adsorption follows multiple kinetic orders that may change during duration of adsorption process. Numerous interaction mechanisms can occur between the heavy metals and functional groups in the synthesized hydrogels such as NH2, COOH, and OH groups leading to efficient adsorption of metal ions.

Abstract
The thermal stability of polyurethanes, known for its limitations, was addressed in this research by seeking improvement through the introduction of carbohydrate-based chain extenders. In this research paper, we systematically sought to improve the thermal resistance of polyurethanes by incorporating carboxymethyl cellulose and chitosan, representing a pioneering application of the mixture design approach in their preparation. In this synthesis, hydroxyl-terminated polybutadiene and isophorone diisocyanate (IPDI) were reacted to prepare -NCO terminated prepolymer, which was subsequently reacted with varying mole ratios of CMC and CSN to develop a series of five PU samples. The prepared PU samples were characterized using the Fourier-transformed infrared spectroscopic technique. Thermal pyrolysis of PU samples was examined using thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA). It was observed that, among all the samples, PUS-3 showed remarkable thermal stability over a wide temperature range. A comprehensive statistical analysis was conducted to substantiate the experimental findings. It was estimated that CMC and CSN significantly enhance the thermal stability of the samples when involved in an interaction fashion. The ANOVA Table for the mixture design demonstrates that over 90 % of the total variation in thermal stability is explained by the mixture model across a wide temperature range. Moreover, PSU-3 exhibited 4 % more thermal stability over a wide range of temperatures on average, as compared to contemporary samples.

Abstract
In the present study, a range of sustainable, biocompatible and biodegradable polyurethanes (PU-1 to PU-4) were synthesized using different combinations of biobased polyol (obtained through the epoxidation of soybean oil, followed by ring opening with ethanol) and polyethylene glycol (PEG) and isophorone diisocyanate. The sustainable chain extender used in this study was synthesized by the esterification of lactic acid with ethylene glycol (EG). The synthesized PU samples were characterized through scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier transformed infrared (FTIR) and nuclear magnetic resonance (1H NMR and 13C NMR) spectroscopy. Wetting ability and thermal degradation analysis (TGA) of the samples were also studied. Subsequently, these PUs were examined as potential drug delivery systems using Gabapentin as a model drug, which was loaded in the polymer matrix using the solvent evaporation method. The drug release studies were carried out in 0.06 N HCl as a release medium according to the method outlined in the United States Pharmacopeia. The maximum drug release was observed for sample PU-P1, which was found to be 53.0 % after 6 h. Moreover, a comparison of different PU samples revealed a trend wherein the values of drug release were decreased with an increase in the PEG content.

Abstract
The present research work aims to synthesize a blend of chitosan (CSN) and curcumin (CRN) based aqueous polyurethane dispersions (CSN-CRN APUDs) for the modification of textile surfaces. A series of anionic CSN-CRN APUDs were prepared by the reaction of isophorone diisocyanate (IPDI) with polyethylene glycol (PEG) and extended with chain extenders (CSN and CRN). Structural characterizations of prepared materials were examined through a fourier transformed infrared (FTIR) spectrophotometer. The performances of coated CSN-CRN APUDs on the colorfastness properties (washing, rubbing and perspiration) and the mechanical properties like tensile strength and tearing strength of plain weaved poly/cellulosic textiles (dyed, printed and white) were examined before and after the application of CSN-CRN APUDs. The findings showed that the mechanical and colorfastness properties of all the CSN-CRN APUDs treated poly/cellulosic textile samples were improved significantly as compared with untreated poly/cellulosic textile samples. The newly synthesized CSN-CRN APUD coating materials are sustainable and greener products, particularly derivatized from bio-resources. These coating materials can be utilized as outstanding eco-friendly substitutes for poly/cellulosic textile coatings for surface modifications.

Abstract
In this research work, the crosslinked structure of polyurethane has been exploited for sustained drug delivery. Polyurethane composites have been prepared by the reaction of isophorone diisocyanate (IPDI) and polycaprolactone diol (PCL), which were further extended by varying the mole ratios of amylopectin (AMP) and 1,4-butane diol (1,4-BDO) chain extenders. The progress and completion of the reaction of polyurethane (PU) were confirmed using Fourier Transform infrared (FTIR) and nuclear magnetic resonance (1H NMR) spectroscopic techniques. Gel permeation chromatography (GPC) analysis showed that the molecular weights of prepared polymers were increased with the addition of amylopectin into the PU matrix. The molecular weight of AS-4 (Mw ≈ 99,367) was found threefold as compared to amylopectin-free PU (Mw ≈ 37,968). Thermal degradation analysis was done using thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA) and inferred that AS-5 showed stability up to 600 °C which was the maximum among all PUs because AMP has a large number of -OH units for linking with prepolymer resulting in a more cross-linked structure which improved the thermal stability of the AS-5 sample. The samples prepared with AMP showed less drug release (<53 %) as compared to the PU sample prepared without AMP (AS-1).

Abstract
A rich plethora of information about grafted chitosan (CS) for medical use has been reported. The capability of CS-grafted poly(N-hydroxyethyl acrylamide) (CS-g-PHEAA) to support human dermal fibroblasts (HDFs) in vitro has been proven. However, CS-grafted copolymers lack good stiffness and the characteristic microstructure of a cellular matrix. In addition, whether CS-g-PHEAA can be used to prepare a scaffold with a suitable morphology and mechanical properties for skin tissue engineering (STE) is unclear. This study aimed to show for the first time that step-growth polymerizations can be used to obtain polyurethane (PU) platforms of CS-g-PHEAA, which can also have enhanced microhardness and be suitable for in vitro cell culture. The PU prepolymers were prepared from grafted CS, polyethylene glycol, and 1,6-hexamethylene diisocyanate. The results proved that a poly(saccharide-urethane) [(CS-g-PHEAA)-PU] could be successfully synthesized with a more suitable microarchitecture, thermal properties, and topology than CS-PU for the dynamic culturing of fibroblasts. Cytotoxicity, proliferation, histological and immunophenotype assessments revealed significantly higher biocompatibility and cell proliferation of the derivative concerning the controls. Cells cultured on (CS-g-PHEAA)-PU displayed a quiescent state compared to those cultured on CS-PU, which showed an activated phenotype. These findings may be critical factors in future studies establishing wound dressing models.

Abstract
With the increase in awareness of environmental protection and the shortage of oil resources, bio-based polyurethane has attracted increasing attention due to its ecological friendliness, low cost and easy degradation. In this paper, using Eugenol (Eug) derived from plant essential oils as the raw resource, syringyl ethanol (Syol) was prepared, and three monomers were obtained by the reaction of the Eug or Syol with Hexamethylene diisocyanate (HDI)or 4,4′-methylene di (phenyl isocyanate) (MDI), respectively. Then, three novel bio-based polyurethanes, P(Eug-HDI), P(Syol-HDI) and P(Syol-MDI), were synthesized by olefin metathesis polymerization. The effects of the catalyst type, reaction solvent, reaction temperature, reaction time, molar ratio of catalyst dosage and metal salts on the Eug-HDI olefin metathesis polymerization were investigated in detail. Under the optimal conditions, the yield reached 64.7%. It is worth noting that the addition of metal Ni salts could significantly promote the polymerization, in which NiI2 could increase the yield to 86.6%. Furthermore, the thermal decomposition behaviors of these bio-based polyurethanes were explored by DSC and variable temperature infrared spectroscopy. The test results showed that P(Eug-HDI) had a reversible thermal decomposition and a certain self-healing performance. This paper provided a new method for the preparation of bio-based polyurethane.

Abstract
Many investigators have focused on the development of biocompatible polyurethanes by chemical reaction of functional groups contained in a spacer and introduced in the PU backbone or by a grafting method on graft polymerization of functional groups. In this study, alginate-based polyurethane (PU) composites were synthesized via step-growth polymerization by the reaction of hydroxyl-terminated polybutadiene (HTPB) and hexamethylene diisocyanate (HMDI). The polymer chains were further extended with blends of 1,4-butanediol (1,4-BDO) and alginate (ALG) with different mole ratios. The structures of the prepared PU samples were elucidated with FTIR and 1H NMR spectroscopy. The crystallinity of the prepared samples was evaluated with the help of X-ray diffraction (XRD). The XRD results reveal that the crystallinity of the PU samples increases when the concentration of alginate increases. Thermogravimetric (TGA) results show that samples containing a higher amount of alginate possess higher thermal stability. ALG-based PU composite samples show more biocompatibility and less hemolytic activity. Mechanical properties, contact angle, and water absorption (%) were also greatly affected.

Abstract
Solid polymer electrolytes (SPE) are considered a key material in all-solid Li-ion batteries (SLIBs). However, the poor ion conductivity at room temperature limits its practical applications. In this work, a new composite polymer solid electrolyte based on polyurethane (PU)/LiTFSI–Al2O3–LiOH materials is proposed. By adding a few inert fillers (Al2O3) and active agents (LiOH) into the PU/LiTFSI system, the ion conductivity of the SPE reaches 2 × 10−3 S cm−1 at room temperature. Exploiting LiFePO4 (LFP)‖Li as electrodes, the PU-based composite lithium battery is prepared. The experimental result shows that the LFP|SPE|Li displays high specific discharge capacity. The first specific discharge capacities at 0.2C, 0.5C, 1C and 3C are 159.6, 126, 110 and 90.1 mA h g−1 respectively, and the Coulomb efficiency is found to be stable in the region of 92–99% which also shows a desirable cyclic stability after 150 cycles. Adding inert filler to reduce the coupling effect of functional groups to Li+ and modifying the functional groups to reduce the adsorption of Li+ can lead to high ionic conductivity.![]()

Abstract
This study investigated the performance of polyurethane adhesives prepared with various combinations of wheat starch that had been modified by isophorone diisocyanate (MS), two polyol types (1,3-propanediol (PD) and glycerol (Gly)), native wheat starch (NS), and 4,4′-diphenylmethane diisocyanate (pMDI) at a NCO:OH weight ratio of 1:1. Two more adhesives were also synthesized with NS, PD, or Gly and pMDI blends and served as controls. The thermal behavior of the adhesives before and after the curing process, as well as their rheological performance and lap shear strength, were analyzed. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) showed a reduction in curing temperature and heat by adding MS. The thermal stability of the cured adhesives was slightly increased by MS addition. The viscosity of the adhesives that contained MS substantially increased at a linear ascendant ramp of shear, while the controls exhibited relatively low viscosity during the whole shear rate spectrum from 0.1 to 100 s−1. The tensile shear strength of wood veneers was also significantly increased by the incorporation of MS under both dry and wet measuring conditions. The maximum dry shear strength was obtained for the adhesive with Gly polyol and a higher content of MS and was comparable to the control adhesive with pMDI.

Abstract
Harmful side effects of the chemotherapeutic agent have been investigated in many recent studies. Since Fe2O3 nanoparticles have proper porosity, they are capable for loading noticeable amount of drugs and controlled release. We developed Fe2O3/chitosan/montmorillonite nanocomposite. Quercetin (QC) nanoparticles, which have fewer side effects than chemical anti-tumor drugs, were encapsulated in the synthesized nanocarrier and were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transforms infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM), dynamic light scattering (DLS), and zeta potential. For quercetin, the encapsulation efficiency and the loading efficiency of the drug in Fe2O3-CS-MMT@QC were found to be about 94% and 57%, respectively. The release profile of QC in different mediums indicated pH-dependency and controlled release of the nanocomposite, adhering to The Weibull kinetic model. Biocompatibility of the Fe2O3/CS/MMT nanoparticles against the MCF-7 cells was shown by MTT assay and confirmed by flow cytometry. These data demonstrate that the designed Fe2O3-CS-MMT@QC would have potential drug delivery to treat cancer cells.

Abstract
The effect of the soft and hard polyurethane (PU) segments caused by the hydrogen link in phase-separation kinetics was studied to investigate the morphological annealing of PU and thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU). The significance of the segmented PUs is to achieve enough stability for further applications in biomedical and environmental fields. In addition, other research focuses on widening the plastic features and adjusting the PU-polyimide ratio to create elastomer of the poly(urethane-imide). Regarding TPU- and PU-nanocomposite, numerous studies investigated the incorporation of inorganic nanofillers such as carbon or clay to incorporating TPU-nanocomposite in several applications. Additionally, the complete exfoliation was observed up to 5% and 3% of TPU-clay modified with 12 amino lauric acid and benzidine, respectively. PU-nanocomposite of 5 wt.% Cloisite®30B showed an increase in modulus and tensile strength by 110% and 160%, respectively. However, the nanocomposite PU-0.5 wt.% Carbone Nanotubes (CNTs) show an increase in the tensile modulus by 30% to 90% for blown and flat films, respectively. Coating PU influences stress-strain behavior because of the interaction between the soft segment and physical crosslinkers. The thermophysical properties of the TPU matrix have shown two glass transition temperatures (Tg's) corresponding to the soft and the hard segment. Adding a small amount of tethered clay shifts Tg for both segments by 44 °C and 13 °C, respectively, while adding clay from 1 to 5 wt.% results in increasing the thermal stability of TPU composite from 12 to 34 °C, respectively. The differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) was used to investigate the phase structure of PU dispersion, showing an increase in thermal stability, solubility, and flexibility. Regarding the electrical properties, the maximum piezoresistivity (10 S/m) of 7.4 wt.% MWCNT was enhanced by 92.92%. The chemical structure of the PU-CNT composite has shown a degree of agglomeration under disruption of the sp2 carbon structure. However, with extended graphene loading to 5.7 wt.%, piezoresistivity could hit 10-1 S/m, less than 100 times that of PU. In addition to electrical properties, the acoustic behavior of MWCNT (0.35 wt.%)/SiO2 (0.2 wt.%)/PU has shown sound absorption of 80 dB compared to the PU foam sample. Other nanofillers, such as SiO2, TiO2, ZnO, Al2O3, were studied showing an improvement in the thermal stability of the polymer and enhancing scratch and abrasion resistance.

Abstract
The present work aims to examine the structural properties of polyurethanes bio-composites with mole ratios of alginate and chitosan. For this concern, a two-step reaction mechanism was carried out; in the first step isocyanate (-NCO) terminated pre-polymer was synthesized by the reaction of hexamethylene diisocyanate (HMDI) and hydroxyl-terminated polybutadiene (HTPB). The pre-polymer was further extended with 1,4-butanediol (BDO), chitosan (CS) and alginate (ALG) in the second step. Structural and functional group elucidation was done by using Fourier Transform Infra-red (FT-IR) and proton nuclear magnetic resonance (1H NMR) spectroscopy. The crystallinity of the prepared samples was investigated by using X-ray diffraction (XRD) method, the maximum observed intensity was 7704 a.u. The thermal properties of polyurethane composites were carried out using thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and differential scanning calorimeter (DSC). The TGA results showed that thermal stability of RPU-5 was 20 °C more than RPU-1 at each corresponding degradation temperature. It is observed all physical parameters like crystallinity, glass transition temperature, melting point are much dependent on ratio of chain extenders. Overall, CS based samples along with small amount of ALG showed better thermal properties.

Abstract
Materials science is an interdisciplinary area of studies. This science focuses on the influence of the physico-chemical properties of materials on their application in human everyday lives. The materials’ synthesis should be developed in accordance with sustainable development. Polyurethanes (PUR) represent a significant consumption of plastic in the world. Modification of PUR, e.g., with polysaccharide of natural origin (chitosan, Chit), should have a positive effect on their functional properties and degradability in the natural environment. The basic parameters affecting the scope and direction of changes are the size and quantity of the chitosan particles. The impact assessment of chitosan on the chemical structure, morphology, thermal properties, crystallinity, mechanical properties, flammability, water sorption, adsorption properties, degradability, and biological activity of PUR/Chit composites (without other additives) is discussed in this article. To the best of our knowledge, recent literature does not contain a study discussing the direct impact of the presence of chitosan in the structure of PUR/Chit composite on its properties, regardless of the intended uses. This paper provides an overview of publications, which presents the results of a study on the effect of adding chitosan in polyurethane/chitosan composites without other additives on the properties of polyurethane.

Abstract
Starch/chitosan modified polyurethanes (PUs) were synthesized by step growth polymerization reaction between -NCO terminated prepolymer and chain extenders (1,4-Butanediol/starch/chitosan). Isophorone diisocyanate (IPDI) was reacted with hydroxyl-terminated polybutadiene (HTPB) to synthesize prepolymer and was further reacted with different moles ratio of starch/chitosan to produced five samples of polyurethane (PU). These samples were characterized by Fourier transformed infrared (FTIR) and Proton nuclear magnetic resonance (1H NMR) spectroscopy. The surface characterizations of PUs were done by scanning electron microscope (SEM). Thermogravimetric analysis showed that the thermal stability of PUs was higher when the mixture of both natural materials was used at equal amounts. It is concluded that combination of both starch and chitosan are efficient for the synthesis of PUs.

Abstract
The aim of this study is the analyze the structure of branched polyurethanes based on synthetic poly([R,S]-3-hydroxybutyrate) and their blends with biopolymers and montmorillonite. The properties which would predict the potential susceptibility of these materials to degradation are also estimated. Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy with attenuated total reflection analysis shows that poly([d,l]-lactide) is on the surfaces of polyurethanes, whereas chitosan and starch are included inside the blend network. Atomic force microscopy images have shown that the surfaces of investigated samples are heterogenous with the formation of spherulites in case of pure polyurethanes. The presence of biopolymers in the blend reduced the crystallinity of polyurethanes. Thermal stability of blends of polyurethanes with poly([d,l]-lactide) and polysaccharides decreased in comparison to pure polyurethanes. Although the tensile strength is reduced after the blending of polyurethanes with biopolymers, the elongation at break increased, especially in the case of polyurethane/poly([d,l]-lactide) blends. The presence of polysaccharides in the obtained blends caused the significant reduction of contact angle after one minute from water drop immersion. This hydrophilizing effect is the highest when montmorillonite has been incorporated into the chitosan blend. The estimated properties of the obtained materials suggest their potential sensitivity on environmental conditions.

Abstract
α- and β-Chitosan nanoparticles were obtained from shrimp shell and squid pen chitosan with different set of deacetylation degree (%DD) and molecular weight (MW) combinations. After nanoparticle formation via ionic gelation with sodium tripolyphosphate (TPP), the % crystallinity index (%CI) of the α- and β-chitosan nanoparticles were reduced to approximately 33% and 43% of the initial %CI of the corresponding α- and βchitosan raw samples, respectively. Both forms of chitosan and chitosan nanoparticles scavenged superoxide radicals in a dose-dependent manner. The %CI of α- and β-chitosan and chitosan nanoparticles was significantly negatively correlated with superoxide radical scavenging abilities over the range of concentration (0.5, 1, 2 and 3 mg/mL) studied. High %DD, and low MW β-chitosan exhibited the highest superoxide radical scavenging activity (p < 0.05). α- and β-Chitosan nanoparticles prepared from high %DD and low MW chitosan demonstrated the highest abilities to scavenge superoxide radicals at 2.0-3.0 mg/mL (p < 0.05), whereas α-chitosan nanoparticles, with the lowest %CI, and smallest particle size (p < 0.05), prepared from medium %DD, and medium MW chitosan showed the highest abilities to scavenge superoxide radicals at 0.5-1.0 mg/mL (p < 0.05). It could be concluded that α- and β-chitosan nanoparticles had superior superoxide radical scavenging abilities than raw chitosan samples.

Abstract
A flexible polyurethane elastomer (PUE) is studied, and the improved impact-resistant performance is revealed. Compressive stress–strain curves over a wide loading rate range were derived. Under static loading, the rubbery-like characteristics are demonstrated, which are flexible and hyperelastic, to process a large strain of about 60% followed by full recovery upon unloading. Under high-rate loadingcompared with the mechanical data of polyurethane elastomer (PUE) and polyurea (PUA) materials in the literature. Orderly parallel deformation bands were formed from carrying a large strain. The fibrils were found between deformation bands for enhancing the yield/plateau stress. A considerable plastic zone ahead of propagating crack with numerous crazes and microcracks was produced for realizing the dynamic strain energy absorption. This work presents a scientific innovation for developing outstanding impact-resistant polyurethane elastomers for transparent protection engineering.
