“…Water availability in clay loam soil rose from 56% to 125% with the addition of the hydrogel. At an ideal application rate of 0.2%, the hydrogel decreased the requirement for irrigation water by 29% as compared to bare soil [108,109]. 2024) created several hydrogels using PVA as a model matrix and lignin and xylan, removed from rice straw (Oryza sativa), as raw ingredients, looking forward to ways to reduce the quantity of water needed for rice crop growth while addressing the disposal of rice straw.…”

“…Research into improving food nutrition through fertilization, choosing raw materials from waste, by-products, and biomass, and adopting more environmentally friendly chemical processes and cleaner processes for field applications are some of the challenges in research on new materials in agriculture. Biopolymer-based slow-release or controlledrelease fertilizers are environmentally friendly due to their ability to boost fertilization efficiency and reduce the surplus fertilizer that low-performing fertilizers discharge into the surrounding area [109,111]. Therefore, research has demonstrated superabsorbent polymers are highly effective in regulating fertilizer release into the soil, thus increasing their application in horticultural and agricultural fields [52,112].…”

Agriculture, a vital element of human survival, confronts challenges of meeting rising demand due to population growth and product availability in developing nations. Reliance on pesticides and fertilizers strains natural resources, leading to soil degradation and water scarcity. Addressing these issues necessitates enhancing water efficiency in agriculture. Polymeric hydrogels, with their unique water retention and nutrient-release capabilities, offer promising solutions. These superabsorbent materials form three-dimensional networks retaining substantial amounts of water. Their physicochemical properties suit various applications, including agriculture. Production involves methods like bulk, solution, and suspension polymerization, with cross-linking, essential for hydrogels, achieved through physical or chemical means, each with different advantages. Grafting techniques incorporate functional groups into matrices, while radiation synthesis offers purity and reduced toxicity. Hydrogels provide versatile solutions to tackle water scarcity and soil degradation in agriculture. Recent research explores hydrogel formulations for optimal agricultural performance, enhancing soil water retention and plant growth. This review aims to offer a comprehensive overview of hydrogel technologies as adaptable solutions addressing water scarcity and soil degradation challenges in agriculture, with ongoing research refining hydrogel formulations for optimal agricultural use.

“…Additionally, the production of biopolymers typically requires lower energy consumption and emits fewer greenhouse gases, contributing to mitigating climate change [6]. Furthermore, biopolymers can be produced from sustainable feedstocks and/or industrial waste [7,8], reducing the reliance on finite fossil fuel resources and promoting agricultural diversification [9,10]. Another notable advantage is the potential for biopolymers to exhibit superior biocompatibility, making them suitable for biomedical applications such as drug delivery systems [11,12] and tissue engineering scaffolds [13,14].…”

Chitin and chitosan, abundant biopolymers derived from the shells of crustaceans and the cell walls of fungi, have garnered considerable attention in pharmaceutical circles due to their biocompatibility, biodegradability, and versatile properties. Deep eutectic solvents (DESs), emerging green solvents composed of eutectic mixtures of hydrogen bond acceptors and donors, offer promising avenues for enhancing the solubility and functionality of chitin and chitosan in pharmaceutical formulations. This review delves into the potential of utilizing DESs as solvents for chitin and chitosan, highlighting their efficiency in dissolving these polymers, which facilitates the production of novel drug delivery systems, wound dressings, tissue engineering scaffolds, and antimicrobial agents. The distinctive physicochemical properties of DESs, including low toxicity, low volatility, and adaptable solvation power, enable the customization of chitin and chitosan-based materials to meet specific pharmaceutical requirements. Moreover, the environmentally friendly nature of DESs aligns with the growing demand for sustainable and eco-friendly processes in pharmaceutical manufacturing. This revision underscores recent advances illustrating the promising role of DESs in evolving the pharmaceutical applications of chitin and chitosan, laying the groundwork for the development of innovative drug delivery systems and biomedical materials with enhanced efficacy and safety profiles.
