“…Following this new development, Wang et al and Mendonça et al published the first studies on the use of different DES as ligand [77], as 100% solvent for SARA ATPR [78] or both [77]. Other studies also reported the use of DES as solvent medium for polymer synthesis [46,79,80,81,82,83,84,85,86,87,88,89,90]. In particular, the communication of Park and Lee on the polymerization of 3-octylthiophene in DES presented interesting features regarding the use of DES as a solvent in polymerization.…”

The green and versatile character of deep eutectic solvents (DES) has turned them into significant tools in the development of green and sustainable technologies. For this purpose, their use in polymeric applications has been growing and expanding to new areas of development. The present review aims to summarize the progress in the field of DES applied to polymer science and engineering. It comprises fundamentals studies involving DES and polymers, recent applications of DES in polymer synthesis, extraction and modification, and the early developments on the formulation of DES–polymer products. The combination of DES and polymers is highly promising in the development of new and ‘greener’ materials. Still, there is plenty of room for future research in this field.

“…Electrospun fibers of natural polymers have tremendous practicability in biomedical fields (material engineering, drug carriers, biosensor and drug delivery (Sridhar et al, 2015) and encapsulation of bioactive compounds in the food industry (Liang et al, 2007;Wen et al, 2017). Numerous natural hydrocolloids including food proteins and polysaccharides (Mendes et al, 2017a), alone or blended with other natural/synthetic formulations, have been applied for electrospinning, which successfully generates uniform nanofibers (Alborzi et al, 2014(Alborzi et al, , 2013Atila et al, 2015;Bonino et al, 2011;Chang et al, 2012;Cui et al, 2017Cui et al, , 2016Fu et al, 2016;Ignatova et al, 2016;Islam et al, 2012; Islam and Karim, 2010; Kong and Ziegler, 2014;Lin et al, 2013;López-Rubio et al, 2012;Lubambo et al, 2015Lubambo et al, , 2013Mendes et al, 2017b;Nie et al, 2008;Nista et al, 2015;Padil et al, 2016Padil et al, , 2015aPadil et al, , 2015c; Padil and Černík, 2015;Qian et al, 2016;Ranjbar-Mohammadi et al, 2016cRanjbar-Mohammadi and Bahrami, 2016;Rezaei et al, 2016;Rockwell et al, 2014;Shalumon et al, 2011;Shekarforoush et al, 2017;Sousa et al, 2015aSousa et al, , 2015bStone et al, 2013;...…”

The prospective uses of tree gum polysaccharides and their nanostructures in various aspects of food, water, energy, biotechnology, environment and medicine industries, have garnered a great deal of attention recently. In addition to extensive applications of tree gums in food, there are substantial non-food applications of these commercial gums, which have gained widespread attention due to their availability, structural diversity and remarkable properties as 'green' bio-based renewable materials. Tree gums are obtainable as natural polysaccharides from various tree genera possessing exceptional properties, including their renewable, biocompatible, biodegradable, and non-toxic nature and their ability to undergo easy chemical modifications. This review focuses on non-food applications of several important commercially available gums (arabic, karaya, tragacanth, ghatti and kondagogu) for the greener synthesis and stabilization of metal/metal oxide NPs, production of electrospun fibers, environmental bioremediation, bio-catalysis, biosensors, coordination complexes of metal-hydrogels, and for antimicrobial and biomedical applications. Furthermore, polysaccharides acquired from botanical, seaweed, animal, and microbial origins are briefly compared with the characteristics of tree gum exudates.

“…All the mixtures were stirred overnight at 80 C to obtain electrospinning solutions according to reported procedures. 4,5,15 For PVA-DES-honey nanobers, PVA (8%, w/v) and DES (5%, w/v) were dissolved in ultrapuried water, and the mixture was stirred at 80 C to obtain a homogenous and clear solution. Honey (5%, w/v) was then added to the PVA-DES solution and stirred at room temperature for 12 h to obtain a uniform and transparent solution according to reported procedures.…”
