“…Furthermore, some nanomaterials are engineered such as the modification occurring in case of titanium oxide, silver oxide, copper, zinc, and so on, with some other materials. Some of them are also found in different commercial production zones, such as production of sunscreens and stain-resistant clothing, and also used for investigative purposes in pharmaceuticals, diagnostic kits, imaging, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), drug delivery, and in many more medical equipment and procedures (DaRocha et al, 2019;Ferreira et al, 2019;Silva and Rocha, 2019).…”

Nanoparticles (nanoparticles) have received much attention in biological application because of their unique physicochemical properties. The metal-and metal oxide-supported nanomaterials have shown significant therapeutic effect in medical science. The mechanisms related to the interaction of nanoparticles with animal and plant cells can be used to establish its significant role and to improve their activity in health and medical applications. Various attempts have been made to discuss the antibiotic resistance and antimicrobial activity of metal-supported nanoparticles. Despite all these developments, there is still a need to investigate their performance to overcome modern challenges. In this regard, the present review examines the role of various types of metal-supported nanomaterials in different areas such as antibacterial, antifungal, anticancer, and so on. Based on the significant ongoing research and applications, it is expected that metal-supported nanomaterials play an outstanding role not only in medical but also in other important areas.

“…Sorbent-based microextraction methods have also taken advantage of the synthetic versatility, environmentalsustainability and tunable properties of ionic liquids (ILs) and their derivatives [24]; as well as the high surface area and porosity of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) [25,26] and covalent organic frameworks (COFs) [27]. Despite the success of all these new materials, there are several concerns regarding their toxicity and/or the harmful effect of the reagents required in their synthetic routes [3,28,29]. Therefore, it is imperative to search for truly environmental-friendly alternatives to prepare sorbent-based microextraction sorbents [30].…”

Since the introduction of the Green Analytical Chemistry guidelines, there has been an increasing concern on the sustainability of sample preparation approaches, particularly if considering they constitute the most time-consuming step of the analytical method and the main source of laboratory wastes. Among the alternatives explored, it is important to highlight the miniaturization of the extraction methods, which has been accompanied by the seek of greener solvents and sorbents. Biopolymers emerge as potential candidates to be used as sorbents in microextraction schemes given their biodegradability, versatility, and easily functionalization. This review offers an overview on biopolymers (chitosan, cellulose, alginate, and agarose) in sorbent-based microextraction approaches, paying attention to the preparation of the sorbent and the format in which biopolymers are incorporated into the sorbent/device, thus implying a specific microextraction approach, their role in the resulting sorbent material, and the reported analytical applications, covering environmental, food, and bioclinical analysis.

“…Nanomaterials are those materials with particle size ranging from 1-100 nm. These materials can be grouped according to their size, morphology, physical and chemical characteristics (Do et al, 2019). A good number of nanomaterials are carbon-based, ceramic, metallic, semi-conductors, polymeric and lipid based in nature (Ighalo et al, 2021).…”
