Abstract
Alginates are brown algal polysaccharides consisting of β-D-mannuronic (M) and α-l-guluronic acid (G) residues linked with 1→4 glycosidic bonds. To functionalize these natural resources for biomedical use, alginates can be chemically modified, including by sulfation. Here regioselective sulfation of alginates at M-2 in DMSO with Py∙SO3 is described, by either sulfating alginates directly or through using alginates with added protecting groups (PG-s), including TBDMS-ether, Piv-, Bz-esters and intramolecular 3,6-lactone. Highest regioselectivity was found by sulfating TBDMS- and Piv-protected alginates, with over 65 % of M-residues being 2-O-sulfated. However significant reduction in molecular weight was found when alginates were sulfated in DMSO. Results from this work will allow a degree of control over substitution patterns in sulfated alginates. This will allow to more accurately determine structure-property relationships in biomedical research.

Abstract
Alginates are salts of alginic acid derived mainly from sea algae of the genus brown algae. They are also synthesized by some bacteria. They belong to negatively charged polysaccharides exhibiting some rheological properties. High plasticity and the ability to modify the structure are the reasons for their application in numerous industries. Moreover, when in contact with the living tissue, they do not trigger an immune response, and for this reason they are the most often tested materials for medical applications. The paper discusses the latest applications, including 3D bioprinting, drug delivery systems, and sorptive properties. Recognizing alginates as biomaterials, it emphasizes the necessity for precise processing and modification to industrialize them for specific uses. This review aims to provide a thorough understanding of the advancements in alginate research, underscoring their potential for innovative applications.

Abstract
Rice husk is a locally available biomass for preparation of adsorbents to deal with cadmium (Cd) contamination in paddy system. In this study, phosphorylation of rice husk using H3PO4 and NH4H2PO4 was carried out in the presence of urea at 165℃ to obtain APB-C and NPB-C, respectively. According to the material characterizations, phosphonyl groups were successfully grafted on the rice husk. Both APB-C and NPB-C had high performance for Cd(II) adsorption with the capacities of 146 and 129 mg/g, respectively. The main mechanism of Cd(II) adsorption was ion exchange with NH4+. The adsorption capacity was linearly corelated with phosphorus content (R2 = 0.9997), while the Langmuir constant had high correlation efficient (R2 = 0.996) with phosphonyl group percentage. Further quantum chemical calculation showed higher interaction energy between Cd(II) and phosphonyl group than other groups. These results indicated that phosphonyl group governed Cd(II) adsorption on phosphorylated biomass.

Abstract
A simple, cost-effective, one-pot method was proposed to introduce bis-phosphonic groups onto alginic acid and carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC). New derivatives were characterized by means of nuclear magnetic resonance, X-ray photoelectron, and attenuated total reflectance Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. These analyses confirmed the successful transformation of carboxylic groups present in alginic acid and CMC into bis-phosphonic groups. Additionally, thermogravimetric analysis coupled with differential scanning calorimetry was employed to investigate the thermal properties of the bis-phosphonic derivatives of alginate and CMC. The results clearly demonstrate the char-forming ability of both studied bis-phosphonated polycarbohydrates, suggesting their potential as intumescent materials.

Abstract
Alginate (Alg) polymers have received much attention due to the mild conditions required for gel formation and their good bio-acceptability. However, due to limited interactions with cells, many drugs, and biomolecules, chemically modified alginates are of great interest. Sulfated alginate (S-Alg) is a promising heparin-mimetic that continues to be investigated both as a drug molecule and as a component of biomaterials. Herein, the S-Alg literature of the past five years (2017-2023) is reviewed. Several methods used to synthesize S-Alg are described, with a focus on new advances in characterization and stereoselectivity. Material fabrication is another focus and spans bulk materials, particles, scaffolds, coatings, and part of multicomponent biomaterials. The new application of S-Alg as an antitumor agent is highlighted together with studies evaluating safety and biodistribution. The high binding affinity of S-Alg for various drugs and heparin-binding proteins is exploited extensively in biomaterial design to tune the encapsulation and release of these agents and this aspect is covered in detail. Recommondations include publishing key material properties to allow reproducibility, careful selection of appropriate sulfation strategies, the use of cross-linking strategies other than ionic cross-linking for material fabrication, and more detailed toxicity and biodistribution studies to inform future work.

Abstract
Alginate is a natural polymer with good biocompatible properties and is a potential polymeric material for the sustainable development and replacement of petroleum derivatives. However, the non-spinnability of pure alginate solutions has hindered the expansion of alginate applications. With the continuous development of electrospinning technology, synthetic polymers, such as PEO and PVA, are used as co-spinning agents to increase the spinnability of alginate. Moreover, the coaxial, parallel Janus, tertiary and other diverse and novel electrospun fiber structures prepared by multi-fluid electrospinning have found a new breakthrough for the problem of poor spinning of natural polymers. Meanwhile, the diverse electrospun fiber structures effectively achieve multiple release modes of drugs. The powerful combination of alginate and electrostatic spinning is widely used in many biomedical fields, such as tissue engineering, regenerative engineering, bioscaffolds, and drug delivery, and the research fever continues to climb. This is particularly true for the controlled delivery aspect of drugs. This review provides a brief overview of alginate, introduces new advances in electrostatic spinning, and highlights the research progress of alginate-based electrospun nanofibers in achieving various controlled release modes, such as pulsed release, sustained release, biphasic release, responsive release, and targeted release.

Abstract
Seaweed polysaccharides are natural biomacromolecules with unique physicochemical properties (e.g., good gelling, emulsifying, and film-forming properties) and diverse biological activities (e.g., anticoagulant, antioxidant, immunoregulatory, and antitumor effects). Furthermore, they are nontoxic, biocompatible and biodegradable, and abundant in resources. Therefore, they have been widely utilized in food, cosmetics, and pharmaceutical industries. However, their properties and bioactivities sometimes are not satisfactory for some purposes. Modification of polysaccharides can impart the amphiphilicity and new functions to the biopolymers and change the structure and conformation, thus effectively improving their functional properties and biological activities so as to meet the requirement for targeted applications. This review outlined the modification methods of representative red algae polysaccharides (carrageenan and agar), brown algae polysaccharides (fucoidan, alginate, and laminaran), and green algae polysaccharides (ulvan) that have potential food applications, including etherification, esterification, degradation, sulfation, phosphorylation, selenylation, and so on. The improved functional properties and bioactivities of the modified seaweed polysaccharides and their potential food applications are also summarized.

Abstract
Alginate (SA) comprises repeating unis of β-1, 4 linked β-D-mannuronic acid (M) and α-L-guloronic acid (G) in varying proportions. The M/G ratio greatly impacts its anti-inflammatory properties in tissue healing wound, as less knowledge reported. This study examined the performances of both SA and SA hydrogel crosslinked with copper ions (SA-Cu) with different M/G ratios are studied. SA with higher M/G ratios stimulated macrophage migration and shifted from M0 to the pro-inflammatory Ml phenotype, while lower M/G ratios shifted from M1 to the pro-repair M2 phenotype. Furthermore, SA-Cu hydrogels with lower M/G ratios exhibited enhanced cross-linking degree, mechanical and rheological properties, as well Cu releasing rate. The reason may be attributed to a relative easy binding between Cu ions and G unit among Cu ions, M unit and G unit. In vitro cell evaluation showed that SA-Cu hydrogel with M/G ratio of 1:1 activated M2 macrophages and up-regulated anti-inflammatory cytokines expression more effectively than those of SA-Cu ratios (2:1) and (1:2). In vivo, SA-Cu hydrogel with M/G ratio of 1:1 expedited diabetic wound healing, accelerating infiltration and phenotype shift of M2 macrophages, and enhancing anti-inflammatory factors, epithelialization and collagen deposition in healing phases. This research highlights the significant role of M/G ratios in SA materials in influencing macrophage behavior and inflammatory responses, which would benefit its application field.

Abstract
As an important source of green cleaning flame retardants, bio-based materials have been widely studied by researchers. However, the development of efficient biobased flame retardants and convenient finishing methods was of great significance for the functional finishing of materials. Herein, a convenient and efficient flame retardant cotton fabric was prepared via layer by layer self-assembly (LbL) by alternating precipitation of a novel bio-based flame retardant phosphorylated sodium alginate (PSA) and alkylammonium functionalized siloxane (A-POSS). The effect of coating number on flame retardancy and thermal properties of coated cotton fabric was systematically studied. Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) results showed that residual char contents of AP/PS-15BL under air and N2 atmospheres increased by 252.0% and 225.2%, respectively, compared with control cotton. In vertical flammability tests, both the AP/PS-10BL and AP/PS-15BL showed self-extinguishing behavior and successfully passed the UL-94 V-0 rating. More importantly, the LOI value of AP/PS-15BL was significantly increased to 35.0% from 20.0% of pure cotton fabric. Additionally, coated samples showed good mechanical properties and washable resistance. In CONE test, the peak heat release rate (PHRR) and total heat release rate (THR) of AP/PS-15BL decreased by 89.3% and 49.3% respectively, compared with control cotton. Therefore, this green and convenient flame-retardant finishing method has great application potential in the multi-functional finishing of cotton fabrics.

Abstract
Microcellulose materials are increasingly considered multifunctional candidates for emerging energy applications. Microcellulose fibers (MCF) are a kind of bio-based reinforcement in composites, and their hydrophilic character hinders their wide application in industry. Thus, in the present work, MCF was hybrid-modified by amino silicone oil-phosphorylated to fabricate hydrophobic, thermal stability, and flame-retardant microcellulose fibers for potential application in vehicle engineering. The results showed that the amino silicone oil-phosphorylated (ASOP) hybrid modification could transform the surface property of microcellulose from hydrophilic to hydrophobic and improve the compatibility between MCF and resin matrix. Meanwhile, the ASOP treatment led to the formation of an amino silicone oil film layer on the surface of the microcellulose, which improved the thermal stability of the MCF. Furthermore, the ASOP hybrid modification microcellulose fibers paper (100% microcellulose fibers paper) was transformed from flammable to flame-retardant and showed self-extinguishing behavior after burning under flame for 2 s. The flame-retardant mechanism was attributed to the formation of the char layer in the condensed phase and the production of non-combustible gases in the gaseous phase.

Abstract
Wound dressings act as a physical barrier between the wound site and the external environment, preventing additional harm; choosing suitable wound dressings is essential for the healing process. Polysaccharide biopolymers have demonstrated encouraging findings and therapeutic prospects in recent decades about wound therapy. Additionally, polysaccharides have bioactive qualities like anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and antioxidant capabilities that can help the process of healing. Due to their excellent tissue adhesion, swelling, water absorption, bactericidal, and immune-regulating properties, polysaccharide-based bio-adhesive films have recently been investigated as intriguing alternatives in wound management. These films also mimic the structure of the skin and stimulate the regeneration of the skin. This review presented several design standards and functions of suitable bio-adhesive films for the healing of wounds. Additionally, the most recent developments in the use of bio-adhesive films as wound dressings based on polysaccharides, including hyaluronic acid, chondroitin sulfate, dextran, alginate, chitosan, cellulose, konjac glucomannan, gellan gum, xanthan gum, pectin, guar gum, heparin, arabinogalactans, carrageen, and tragacanth gum, are thoroughly discussed. Lastly, to create a road map for the function of polysaccharide-based bio-adhesive films in advanced wound care, their clinical performances and future challenges in making bio-adhesive films by three-dimensional bioprinting are summarized.

Abstract
Direct comparison of the sulfating agents H2SO4-DCC and SO3·py for the synthesis of sulfated alginate (S-Alg) as well as detailed characterisation of the products that form is lacking. This study involving three researchers used the tributylammonium salt of alginate (T-Alg) as a common substrate for the sulfation reactions. It was found that the use of H2SO4-DCC resulted in poor control of the degree of sulfation (DS) and that the S-Alg polymers contained nitrogen (determined by elemental analysis) as a result of formation of an unwanted N-acylurea adduct. Additionally, a large reduction in chain length was confirmed. In contrast, the use of SO3·py gave reasonable control over DS, resulted in high yields, showed no contamination and no clear change in chain length. Detailed characterisation of such S-Alg polymers by 1H NMR, 13C NMR and 1H,13C-HSQC NMR confirmed sulfation at C2 and C3 with a preference for C2.

Abstract
Glycosaminoglycan (GAG) mimics carrying phosphate rather than sulfate anionic groups have been poorly investigated, in spite of their interesting perspectives. While some GAG-mimicking phosphorylated polymers have been reported, to the best of our knowledge no phosphorylated polysaccharides having the same backbone of natural sulfated GAGs have been accessed yet. To fill this gap, in this work two standard phosphorylation protocols and two recently reported procedures have been screened on a set of polysaccharide species composed by microbial sourced chondroitin and three partially protected, semi-synthetic derivatives thereof. A detailed structural characterization by 1H, 13C and 31P NMR spectroscopy revealed the higher versatility of the innovative, biomimetic reaction employing monopotassium salt of phosphoenolpyruvate (PEPK) with respect to standard phosphorylating agents (phosphoric acid or phosphorus oxychloride). Indeed, PEP-K and H3PO4 gave similar results in the regioselective phosphorylation of the primary hydroxyls of unprotected chondroitin, while only the former reacted on partially protected chondroitin derivatives in a controlled, regioselective fashion, affording chondroitin phosphate (CP) polysaccharides with different derivatization patterns. The reported results represent the first, key steps towards the systematic semi-synthesis of phosphorylated GAGs as a new class of GAG mimics and to the evaluation of their biological activities in comparison with native sulfated GAGs.

Abstract
Sulfated alginates (ASs), as well as several artificially sulfated polysaccharides, show interesting bioactivities. The key factors for structure-activity relationships studies are the degree of sulfation and the distribution of the sulfate groups along the polysaccharide backbone (sulfation pattern). The former parameter can often be controlled through stoichiometry, while the latter requires the development of suitable chemical or enzymatic, regioselective methods and is still missing for ASs. In this work, a study on the regioselective installation of several different protecting groups on a d-mannuronic acid enriched (M-rich) alginate is reported in order to develop a semi-synthetic access to regioselectively sulfated AS derivatives. A detailed structural characterization of the obtained ASs revealed that the regioselective sulfation could be achieved complementarily at the O-2 or O-3 positions of M units through multi-step sequences relying upon a silylating or benzoylating reagent for the regioselective protection of M-rich alginic acid, followed by sulfation and deprotection.

Abstract
Globally, ibuprofen is the third most consumed drug and its presence in the environment is a concern because little is known about its adverse effects on humans and aquatic life. Environmentalists have made monitoring and the detection of ibuprofen in biological and environmental matrices a priority. For the detection and monitoring of ibuprofen, sensors and biosensors have provided rapid analysis time, sensitivity, high-throughput screening, and real-time analysis. Researchers are increasingly seeking eco-friendly technology, and this has led to an interest in developing biodegradable, bioavailable, and non-toxic sensors, or biosensors. The integration of polymers into sensor systems has proven to significantly improve sensitivity, selectivity, and stability and minimize sample preparation using bioavailable and biodegradable polymers. This review provides a general overview of perspectives and trends of polymer-based sensors and biosensors for the detection of ibuprofen compared to non-polymer-based sensors.

Abstract
Marine polysaccharides are a kind of natural polysaccharides which isolated and extracted from marine organisms. Now some marine polysaccharides, such as chitosan, sodium alginate and agar, have been proven to exhibit antibacterial, antioxidant functions and biocompatibility, which are often used to preserve food or improve the physicochemical properties of food. However, they still have the defects of unsatisfactory preservation effect and biological activity, which can be remedied by its modification. Chemical modification is the most effective of all modification methods. The advances in common chemical modification methods of chitosan, sodium alginate, agar and other marine polysaccharides and research progress of modified products in food processing and preservation were summarized, and the influence of additional reaction conditions on the existence of chemical modification sites of polysaccharides was discussed. The modification of functional groups in natural marine polysaccharides leads to the change of molecular structure, which can improve the physical, chemical and biological properties of marine polysaccharides. Chemically modified products have been used in various fields of food applications, such as food preservatives, food additives, food packaging, and food processing aids. In general, chemical modification has excellent potential for food processing and preservation, which can improve the function of marine polysaccharides.

Abstract
Nuclear accidents and decommissioning in the nuclear industry would release a large number of radioactive aerosols which endangers the natural environment and the health of workers. Therefore, there is an urgent need for environment-friendly aerosol suppressants to control and handle environmental pollution problems caused by radioactive aerosols. In this paper, sodium alginate (SA), a type of polyphenol material (TP), and alkyl glycosides (APGs) were selected as the components of the compound aerosol suppressant and the optimal proportion was generated via the method of D-optimal mixture design. Furthermore, the cesium aerosol sedimentation effect of the optimized compound aerosol suppressants was evaluated via sedimentation efficiency, the change in particle concentration cumulative concentration fraction of the cesium aerosol sedimentation process. The results showed that the aerosol sedimentation efficiency was 99.82% which was much higher than nature settlement, 18.6% and water spraying sedimentation, 43.3%. Moreover, after spraying the compound suppressant, it displayed a good effect on settling the cesium aerosol particles with a diameter of less than 1 µm, as the concentration of particles was reduced from 55.49% to 44.53%. Finally, the sedimentation mechanism of the compound aerosol suppressant and cesium aerosol particles, such as the coagulation effect, was analyzed using the particle size distribution.

Abstract
Recently, hydrogels based on natural water-soluble polysaccharides have attracted more and more attention due to their favorable characteristics. The high water-holding capacity, lack of toxicity, and biodegradability of such hydrogels make it possible to develop new materials on their basis for biotechnological, biomedical, pharmacological, and medical purposes. Sodium alginate is a non-toxic natural polysaccharide found in marine algae. It is capable of forming solid gels under the action of polyvalent cations that cross-link polysaccharide chains. Alginate-based products are popular in many industries, including food processing, pharmaceutical, and biomedical applications. Cellulose is the most abundant, renewable, and natural polymer on Earth, and it is used for various industrial and biomedical applications. Carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) is useful in pharmaceutical, food, and non-food industries such as tablets, ice cream, drinks, toothpaste, and detergents. In this review, various methods for the preparation of the compositions based on sodium alginate and CMC using different crosslinking agents have been collected for the first time. Additionally, the drug release profile from such polymer matrixes was analyzed.

Abstract
In this study, a novel polysaccharide (SPN) was extracted by high-temperature pressure method and purified by a DEAE-52 column and a Sephadx G-100 gel column. PPN was obtained after phosphorylation of SPN. The differences of structural features, antioxidant activity, and anti-inflammatory effect of the two polysaccharides were investigated by chemical methods and RAW 264.7 cell model. SPN (Mw = 15.8 kDa) and PPN (Mw = 27.7 kDa) are an acidic polysaccharide with β-pyranose configuration, mainly containing rhamnose, mannose, glucose, arabinose, and galacose. FI-IR, NMR, and SEM spectra showed phosphorylation of SPN changed its structure. In methylation analysis, the major chains of SPN and PPN were 1,4-linked Glcp, 1,6-linked Galp, 1,2-linked Rhap, and 1.6-linked Manp with terminals of t-linked Glcp, t-linked Araf. The side chain of SPN was 1,4,6-linked Galp, 1,2,5-linked Araf, while the side chain of PPN was 1,4,6-linked Galp, 1,2,4-linked Glcp. In antioxidant activity experiments, the free radical scavenging rate of PPN was stronger than that of SPN. Also, PPN always has better anti-inflammatory on RAW 264.7 cells induced by LPS than that of SPN in same concentration, and it plays an anti-inflammatory role by inhibiting PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway. The results indicated polysaccharide could significantly improve its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory function after phosphorylation. This study provides a potentially antioxidant and anti-inflammatory health food and drug.

Abstract
Extrusion-based 3D-bioprinting using hydrogels has exhibited potential in precision medicine; however, researchers are beset with several challenges. A major challenge of this technique is the production of constructs with sufficient height and fidelity to support cellular behavior in vivo. In this study, we present the 3D-bioprinting of cylindrical constructs with tunable gelation kinetics by controlling the covalent crosslinking density and gelation time of a tyramine-functionalized alginate hydrogel (ALG-TYR) via enzymatic reaction by horseradish peroxidase (HRP) and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). The extruded filament was crosslinked for a second time on a support bath containing H2O2 to increase fidelity after printing. The resulting tubular construct, with a height of 6 mm and a wall thickness of 2 mm, retained its mechanical properties and had a maximum 2-fold swelling after 2 d. Furthermore, collagen (COL) was introduced into the ALG-TYR hydrogel network to increase the mechanical modulus and cell cytocompatibility, as the encapsulated fibroblast cells exhibited a higher cell viability in the ALG-TYR/COL construct (92.13 ± 0.70%) than in ALG-TYR alone (68.18 ± 3.73%). In summary, a vascular ECM-mimicking scaffold was 3D-bioprinted with the ALG-TYR/COL hybrid hydrogel, and this scaffold can support tissue growth for clinical translation in regenerative and personalized medicine.

Abstract
The substituents and backbones are two main factors affecting immune activities of polysaccharides. In the present study, we firstly evaluated the immunostimulating effects of phosphorylated, sulfated, H-phosphonated and nitrated derivatives of low-molecular-weight polymannuronate (LPM) and polyguluronate (LPG) on splenocytes and peritoneal macrophages in vitro. The results showed that the phosphate group was the best substituent to enhance the immune activities, and LPG phosphate (LPGP) had much better activity than LPM phosphate (LPMP). Further studies showed that LPGP not only promoted the proliferation of mouse splenocytes in the presence of either LPS or Con A, but also acted as an excellent peritoneal macrophage activator to enhance the cell phagocytosis, energy metabolism, cytokines release and activities of intracellular enzymes. The studies in RAW264.7 cells revealed that LPGP activated the TBK1-IκBα-NF-κB and the TBK1-IRF3 pathway. Moreover, LPGP rescued the immune response in the Cyclophosphamide-treated mice in vivo. In conclusion, LPGP is a potential alginate-based biological response modifier (BRM).

Abstract
Designing smart bioinks, which can provide multifunctionality and instructive cues to cells, is a current need of the tissue engineering field. Addressing these parameters, this work aims at developing a smart dual 3D bioprinted scaffold that is capable of differentiating human mesenchymal stem cells into two different lineages within the same construct without providing any exogenous cues. Here, biocompatible alginate- and silk-based bioinks were developed to print self-standing structures with the ability of spatially controlled differentiation of the encapsulated hMSCs. We present this proof of concept and have demonstrated a smart design where the incorporation of phosphate groups enhanced the osteogenic differentiation, whereas the addition of silk promoted the chondrogenic differentiation. Altogether, the present work suggests the potential of the developed bioinks for use in creating clinically viable osteochondral grafts.

Abstract
Alginates are natural anionic polyelectrolytes investigated in various biomedical applications, such as drug delivery, tissue engineering, and 3D bioprinting. Functionalization of alginates is one possible way to provide a broad range of requirements for those applications. A range of techniques, including esterification, amidation, acetylation, phosphorylation, sulfation, graft copolymerization, and oxidation and reduction, have been implemented for this purpose. The rationale behind these investigations is often the combination of such modified alginates with different molecules. Particularly promising are lectin conjugate macromolecules for lectin-mediated drug delivery, which enhance the bioavailability of active ingredients on a specific site. Most interesting for such application are alginate derivatives, because these macromolecules are more resistant to acidic and enzymatic degradation. This review will report recent progress in alginate modification and conjugation, focusing on alginate-lectin conjugation, which is proposed as a matrix for mucoadhesive drug delivery and provides a new perspective for future studies with these conjugation methods.

Abstract
Protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B (PTP1B) is a critical negative modulator of insulin signaling and has attracted considerable attention in treating type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Low-molecular-weight polymannuronic acid phosphate (LPMP) was found to be a selective PTP1B inhibitor with an IC50 of 1.02 ± 0.17 μM. Cellular glucose consumption was significantly elevated in insulin-resistant HepG2 cells after LPMP treatment. LPMP could alleviate oxidative stress and endoplasmic reticulum stress, which are associated with the development of insulin resistance. Western blot and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) analysis demonstrated that LPMP could enhance insulin sensitivity through the PTP1B/IRS/Akt transduction pathway. Furthermore, animal study confirmed that LPMP could decrease blood glucose, alleviate insulin resistance, and exert hepatoprotective effects in diabetic mice. Taken together, LPMP can effectively inhibit insulin resistance and has high potential as an anti-diabetic drug candidate to be further developed.

Abstract
Nature produces materials using available molecular building blocks following a bottom-up approach. These materials are formed with great precision and flexibility in a controlled manner. This approach offers the inspiration for manufacturing new artificial materials and devices. Synthetic artificial materials can find many important applications ranging from personalized therapeutics to solutions for environmental problems. Among these materials, responsive synthetic materials are capable of changing their structure and/or properties in response to external stimuli, and hence are termed "smart" materials. Herein, this review focuses on alginate-based smart materials and their stimuli-responsive preparation, fragmentation, and applications in diverse fields from drug delivery and tissue engineering to water purification and environmental remediation. In the first part of this report, we review stimuli-induced preparation of alginate-based materials. Stimuli-triggered decomposition of alginate materials in a controlled fashion is documented in the second part, followed by the application of smart alginate materials in diverse fields. Because of their biocompatibility, easy accessibility, and simple techniques of material formation, alginates can provide solutions for several present and future problems of humankind. However, new research is needed for novel alginate-based materials with new functionalities and well-defined properties for targeted applications.

Abstract
The development of new materials is needed to address the environmental challenges of wastewater treatment. The phosphorylation of guar gum combined with its association to chitosan allows preparing an efficient sorbent for the removal of U(VI) from slightly acidic solutions. The incorporation of magnetite nanoparticles enhances solid/liquid. Functional groups are characterized by FTIR spectroscopy while textural properties are qualified by N2 adsorption. The optimum pH is close to 4 (deprotonation of amine and phosphonate groups). Uptake kinetics are fast (60 min of contact), fitted by a pseudo-first order rate equation. Maximum sorption capacities are close to 1.28 and 1.16 mmol U g-1 (non-magnetic and magnetic, respectively), while the sorption isotherms are fitted by Langmuir equation. Uranyl desorption (using 0.2 M HCl solutions) is achieved within 20-30 min; the sorbents can be recycled for at least five cycles (5-6% loss in sorption performance, complete desorption). In multi-component solutions, the sorbents show marked preference for U(VI) and Nd(III) over alkali-earth metals and Si(IV). The zone of exclusion method shows that magnetic sorbent has antibacterial effects against both Gram+ and Gram- bacteria, contrary to non-magnetic material (only Gram+ bacteria). The magnetic composite is highly promising as antimicrobial support and for recovery of valuable metals.

Abstract
3D printing, one of its kinds has been a recent technological trend to fabricate complex and patterned biomaterial with controlled precision. With the conventional kick-start of printing metals and plastics, advancements in printing viable cells, polysaccharides or microbes themselves have been achieved. The additive antimicrobial properties in bioinks sourced from organic and inorganic materials have profound implications in tissue engineering. Cellulose, alginate, exopolysaccharides, ceramics and synthetic polymers are integrated as a viable component in inks and used for bio-printing. To date, bacterial infection and immunogenicity pose a potential health risk during a tissue implant or bone substitution. In order to mitigate microbial infection, antimicrobial bioinks with significant antimicrobial potential have been the much sought after strategies. This approach could be an effective frontline defense against microbial interference in tissue engineering and biomedical applications. An overview on the antimicrobial potential of polysaccharides as bioinks for 3D bioprinting has been critically reviewed.

Abstract
The low cost, environmental friendliness, and reproducibility of kraft lignin (KL) make it a potential candidate for the development of new green material. The phosphorylation of KL can extend its application as a flame-retardant material. Herein, the phosphorylated kraft lignin (PKL) was systematically fabricated in a sustainable process by utilizing a green phosphating reagent, NH4H2PO4, in the presence of urea. The influence of the reaction parameters, i.e., reaction time and temperature, and NH4H2PO4/lignin ratio on the phosphorylation process were investigated. Advanced characterization techniques including 1H NMR, 31P NMR, and XPS confirmed that the phosphorus groups were successfully introduced to lignin molecules. The active phenolic and aliphatic hydroxy groups of kraft lignin underwent a nucleophilic substitution reaction with the phosphate group to generate phosphorylated lignin. Compared with KL, PKL showed excellent thermal stability, and its maximum decomposition temperature was 620 °C compared with 541 °C for KL.

Abstract
The natural anionic polyelectrolyte alginate and its derivatives are of particular interest for pharmaceutical and biomedical applications. Most interesting for such applications are alginate hydrogels, which can be processed into various shapes, self-standing or at surfaces. Increasing efforts are underway to functionalize the alginate macromolecules prior to hydrogel formation in order to overcome the shortcomings of purely ionically cross-linked alginate hydrogels that are hindering the progress of several sophisticated biomedical applications. Particularly promising are derivatives of alginate, which allow simultaneous ionic and covalent cross-linking to improve the physical properties and add biological activity to the hydrogel. This review will report recent progress in alginate modification and functionalization with special focus on synthesis procedures, which completely conserve the ionic functionality of the carboxyl groups along the backbone. Recent advances in analytical techniques and instrumentation supported the goal-directed modification and functionalization.

Abstract
Natural occurring polymers, or biopolymers, represent a huge part of our planet biomass. They are formed by long chains of monomers of the same type or a combination of different ones. Polysaccharides are biopolymers characterized by complex secondary structures performing several roles in plants, animals, and microorganisms. Because of their versatility and biodegradability, some of them are extensively used for packaging, food, pharmaceutical, and biomedical industries as sustainable and renewable materials. In the recent years, their manipulation at the nanometric scale enormously increased the range of potential applications, boosting an interdisciplinary research attempt to exploit all the potential advantages of nanostructured polysaccharides. Biomedical investigation mainly focused on nano-objects aimed at drug delivery, tissue repair, and vaccine adjuvants. The achievement of all these applications requires the deep knowledge of polysaccharide nanomaterials' interactions with the immune system, which orchestrates the biological response to any foreign substance entering the body. In the present manuscript we focused on natural polysaccharides of high commercial importance, namely, starch, cellulose, chitin, and its deacetylated form chitosan, as well as the seaweed-derived carrageenan and alginate. We reviewed the available information on their biocompatibility, highlighting the importance of their physicochemical feature at the nanoscale for the modulation of the immune system.

Abstract
Chemical modifications of cellulose fibers as pretreatment for cellulose nanofibrils (CNF) production have been investigated to improve the production process and the quality of obtained cellulosic nanomaterial. In this study, phosphorylation of cellulose fibers was done in anticipation of a future nanofibrillation. Different phosphate salts, namely NH4H2PO4, (NH4)2HPO4, Na2HPO4, NaH2PO4 and LiH2PO4 with different constants of solubility (Ks) were used to increase the efficiency of the modification. Phosphorylated cellulose pulps were analyzed using elemental analysis, solid-state 13C and 31P NMR, or conductimetric titration method. No effect of Ks was observed whereas a counterion effect was pointed out. The study also reported the effect of pH, cellulose consistency, temperature and urea content in phosphorylation efficiency. Finally, chemical functionalization and penetration of phosphorylation reagents in the cellulose fibers were evaluated using XPS, SEM-EDX, ToF-SIMS and solid-state NMR.

Abstract
Marine plants, animals and microorganisms display steady growth in the ocean and are abundant carbohydrate resources. Specifically, natural polysaccharides obtained from brown algae have been drawing increasing attention owing to their great potential in pharmaceutical applications. This review describes the structural and biological features of brown algal polysaccharides, including alginates, fucoidans, and laminarins, and it highlights recently developed approaches used to obtain the oligo- and polysaccharides with defined structures. Functional modification of these polysaccharides promotes their advanced applications in biomedical materials for controlled release and targeted drug delivery, etc. Moreover, brown algal polysaccharides and their derivatives possess numerous biological activities with anticancer, anticoagulant, wound healing, and antiviral properties. In addition, we also discuss carbohydrate- based substrates from brown algae, which are currently in clinical and preclinical studies, as well as the marine drugs that are already on the market. The present review summarizes the recent development in carbohydratebased products from brown algae, with promising findings that could rapidly facilitate the future discovery of novel marine drugs.

Abstract
Phosphorylated cellulose nanocrystal (P-CNC)/imogolite nanotube (natural aluminosilicate nanotube) hybrid thin films were fabricated by spin-assisted layer-by-layer assembly. Phosphorylation of CNC with diammonium hydrogen phosphate ((NH4)2HPO4) was carried out to introduce phosphate groups on the CNC surface for enhanced interaction with imogolite. Structure of the P-CNC/imogolite thin film was characterized by atomic force microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD), and grazing incidence wide-angle XRD. The film thickness increased linearly with the increment of the P-CNC/imogolite bilayer. Benefitting from the strong affinity between the phosphate group of the P-CNC and the Al-OH group of imogolite, the P-CNC/imogolite thin films were quite stable in water within a wide range of pH values, compared with the deterioration of the CNC/imogolite film under same soaking conditions.

Abstract
The surface charge of a biomaterial represents a promising tool to direct cellular behavior, which is crucial for therapeutic approaches in regenerative medicine. To expand the understanding of how the material surface charge affects protein adsorption and mesenchymal stem cell behavior, differently charged surfaces with zeta potentials spanning from -25 mV to +15 mV were fabricated by the conjugation of poly(amidoamine) to alginate-based hydrogels. We showed that the increase of the biomaterials surface charge resulted in enhanced quantities of biologically available, surface-attached proteins. Since different surface charges were equalized after protein adsorption, mesenchymal stem cells interacted rather with diverse protein compositions instead of different surface features. Besides an enhanced cell attachment to increasingly positively charged surfaces, the cell spreading area and the expression of adhesion-related genes integrin α5 and tensin 1 were found to be increased after adhesion. Moreover, first results indicate a potential impact of the surface charge on mesenchymal stem cell differentiation towards bone and fat cells. The improved understanding of surface charge-related cell behavior has significant impact on the design of biomedical devices and artificial organs.

Abstract
Pure cellulosic foams suffer from low thermal stability and high flammability, limiting their fields of application. Here, light-weight and flame-resistant nanostructured foams are produced by combining cellulose nanofibrils prepared from phosphorylated pulp fibers (P-CNF) with microfibrous sepiolite clay using the freeze-casting technique. The resultant nanocomposite foams show excellent flame-retardant properties such as self-extinguishing behavior and extremely low heat release rates in addition to high flame penetration resistance attributed mainly to the intrinsic charring ability of the phosphorylated fibrils and the capability of sepiolite to form heat-protective intumescent-like barrier on the surface of the material. Investigation of the chemical structure of the charred residue by FTIR and solid state NMR spectroscopy reveals the extensive graphitization of the carbohydrate as a result of dephosphorylation of the modified cellulose and further dehydration due to acidic catalytic effects. Originating from the nanoscale dimensions of sepiolite particles, their high specific surface area and stiffness as well as its close interaction with the phosphorylated fibrils, the incorporation of clay nanorods also significantly improves the mechanical strength and stiffness of the nanocomposite foams. The novel foams prepared in this study are expected to have great potential for application in sustainable building construction.
