“…Out of the plethora of possibilities, marine-sourced carbohydrates are among the most researched materials for biomedical purposes, benefiting from wide availability, abundance, simplicity of fabrication, biocompatibility, biodegradability, and ease of functionalization [10][11][12][13]. Chitosan and alginate are two of the most studied polymers of this sort, being the base materials for a multitude of drug carriers, wound dressings, and tissue engineering scaffolds [14][15][16][17][18][19]. Despite their individual uses, chitosan and alginate have been recently investigated together as a strategy to overcome the limitations of each material, produce synergistic outcomes, and expand their range of applications.…”

Chitosan and alginate are two of the most studied natural polymers that have attracted interest for multiple uses in their nano form. The biomedical field is one of the domains benefiting the most from the development of nanotechnology, as increasing research interest has been oriented to developing chitosan-alginate biocompatible delivery vehicles, antimicrobial agents, and vaccine adjuvants. Moreover, these nanomaterials of natural origin have also become appealing for environmental protection (e.g., water treatment, environmental-friendly fertilizers, herbicides, and pesticides) and the food industry. In this respect, the present paper aims to discuss some of the newest applications of chitosan-alginate-based nanomaterials and serve as an inception point for further research in the field.

“…Polymeric nanosystems can be synthesized from a variety of natural or synthetic precursors, such as collagen, chitosan, gelatin, or albumin, and polyethylene glycol, polylactic acid, poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA), polylactic acid (PLA) or polycaprolactone (PCL), respectively [42,108,109]. Additionally, they can be developed in multiple forms, including nanoparticles, micelles, vesicles, dendrimers, or hybrid inorganic-polymer nanosystems (Figure 5) [17].…”

Despite the many advancements in the pharmaceutical and medical fields and the development of numerous antimicrobial drugs aimed to suppress and destroy pathogenic microorganisms, infectious diseases still represent a major health threat affecting millions of lives daily. In addition to the limitations of antimicrobial drugs associated with low transportation rate, water solubility, oral bioavailability and stability, inefficient drug targeting, considerable toxicity, and limited patient compliance, the major cause for their inefficiency is the antimicrobial resistance of microorganisms. In this context, the risk of a pre-antibiotic era is a real possibility. For this reason, the research focus has shifted toward the discovery and development of novel and alternative antimicrobial agents that could overcome the challenges associated with conventional drugs. Nanotechnology is a possible alternative, as there is significant evidence of the broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity of nanomaterials and nanoparticles in particular. Moreover, owing to their considerable advantages regarding their efficient cargo dissolving, entrapment, encapsulation, or surface attachment, the possibility of forming antimicrobial groups for specific targeting and destruction, biocompatibility and biodegradability, low toxicity, and synergistic therapy, polymeric nanoparticles have received considerable attention as potential antimicrobial drug delivery agents. In this context, the aim of this paper is to provide an up-to-date overview of the most recent studies investigating polymeric nanoparticles designed for antimicrobial therapies, describing both their targeting strategies and their effects.

A stable emulsion of organic ferrofluid in an aqueous medium, known as oil-in-water (O/W) ferrofluid emulsion, was successfully prepared and characterized. The present study introduces a novel approach to synthesize and emulsify ferrofluid, followed by silica coating of the resulting nanoparticles using sol-gel process. The ferrofluid consisted of magnetic nanoparticles stabilized with oleic acid in octane. Both the ferrofluid and the emulsion exhibited spherical morphology, with average sizes of 20 nm and 200 nm, respectively. Characterization methodologies for instance TEM (transmission electron microscopy), DLS (dynamic light scattering), XRD, FTIR, and magnetic measurements were employed to determine the size distribution, crystallinity, morphology, and chemical composition of the nanoparticles.Chemical composition analysis of the prepared nanoparticles was performed using thermogravimetric analysis. This research work demonstrates the possibility of encapsulating O/W magnetic emulsion, promising potential for future bioapplications, emphasizing the importance of efficient and stable O/W ferrofluid emulsions.
