Abstract
Protection from and removal of chemical warfare agents (CWAs) from the environment remains a global goal. Activated charcoal, metal oxides, metal organic frameworks (MOFs), polyoxometalates (POMs) and reactive polymers have all been investigated for CWA removal. Composite polymeric materials are rapidly gaining traction as versatile building blocks for personal protective equipment (PPE) and catalytic devices. Polymers are inexpensive to produce and easily engineered into a wide range of materials including films, electro-spun fibers, mixed-matrix membranes/reactors, and other forms. When containing reactive side-chains, hydrolysis catalysts, and/or oxidative catalysts polymeric devices are primed for CWA decontamination. In this review, recent advances in reactive polymeric materials for CWA removal are summarized. To aid in comparing the effectiveness of the different solid catalysts, particular attention is paid to the stoichiometric ratio of reactive species to toxic substrate (CWA or CWA simulant).

Abstract
The textile industry can benefit from nanotechnology as new properties are conferred on functionalized nanotextiles beyond what a fabric can traditionally offer. These properties include extermination of microorganisms by nanotextiles to curtail their growth and dissemination in the environment and in healthcare facilities. The emergence and thriving of multi-drug resistance (MDR) phenomenon among microbes are threats at achieving good health and well-being (goal 3) of sustainable development goals (SDG) of UN. In addition, MDR strains emerge at a higher rate than the frequency of discovery and production of potent antimicrobial drugs. Therefore, there is need for innovative approach to tackle MDR. Among recent innovations is functionalization of textiles with metal nanoparticles to kill microorganisms. This paper explores strategies in nanotextile production to combat emerging diseases in the 21st century. We discussed different nanotextiles with proven antimicrobial activities, and their applications as air filters, sportswear, personal wears, nose masks, health care and medical fabrics. This compendium highlights frontiers of applications of antimicrobial nanotextiles that can extend multidisciplinary research endeavours towards achieving good health and well-being. Until now, there exists no review on exploitation of nanotextiles to combat MDR pathogens as included in this report.

Abstract
Virtually transparent photocatalytic multilayer films composed of TiO2 nanoparticles and polyelectrolytes were built on model surfaces using layer-by-layer assembly and investigated as photocatalytic nanoporous coatings. Formic acid (HCOOH) and Escherichia coli were used as models for the degradation of gaseous pollutants and for studying antibacterial properties. Positively charged TiO2 nanoparticles were coassembled with negatively charged poly(sodium 4-styrenesulfonate) (NaPSS) which leads to highly transparent nanoscale coatings in which the content of TiO2 particles is controlled mainly by the number of deposition cycles and the enhanced translucency with respect to titania powders is likely due to the presence of the polyelectrolytes in the interstitial space between the particles. Build-up and structural properties of the films were determined by ellipsometry, quartz crystal microbalance (QCM-D, with dissipation monitoring), and UV-vis spectrophotometry in transmission and scanning electron microscopy. Complementary photophysical and activity tests of (PSS/TiO2)n multilayer films were performed in the gas-phase under UV-A light and revealed a peculiar dependence on the number of layer pairs (LPs), corresponding to a clear deviation from the usual observations in photocatalysis with increasing TiO2 amounts. Most notably, a single LP film showed a strongly enhanced HCOOH mineralization and outperformed films with a higher number of LPs, with respect to the quantity of TiO2 catalyst present in the films. It is believed that the high quantum yield (8.1%) of a coating consisting of a single TiO2 layer which is 6-7 times higher than that of a 6-10 LP film could be due to the optimum accessibility of the TiO2 crystallites toward both HCOOH and water molecules. In thicker films, while no detrimental light screening was observed with increasing the number of LPs, diffusion phenomena could cap the efficiency of the access of the pollutant and water to the catalytic surface. Unlike for HCOOH mineralization, three PSS/TiO2 LPs were required for observing a maximum antibacterial activity of the nanocomposite coatings. This is likely due to the fact that micrometer-sized E. coli bacteria do not enter into the interstitial space between the TiO2 particles and require a different surface morphology with respect to the number of active contact points for optimum degradation.

Abstract
Controlled drug delivery formulations have revolutionized treatments for a range of health conditions. Over decades of innovation, layer-by-layer (LbL) self-assembly has emerged as one of the most versatile fabrication methods used to develop multifunctional controlled drug release coatings. The numerous advantages of LbL include its ability to incorporate and preserve biological activity of therapeutic agents; coat multiple substrates of all scales (e.g., nanoparticles to implants); and exhibit tuned, targeted, and/or responsive drug release behavior. The functional behavior of LbL films can be related to their physicochemical properties. In this review, we highlight recent advances in the development of LbL-engineered biomaterials for drug delivery, demonstrating their potential in the fields of cancer therapy, microbial infection prevention and treatment, and directing cellular responses. We discuss the various advantages of LbL biomaterial design for a given application as demonstrated through in vitro and in vivo studies.
