“…These microorganisms and spores are not affected by high pressure and temperature. Moreover, Prasanna et al (2019) explored the antibacterial activities of ZnO with different particle sizes. From the results, it was proved that the bactericidal efficacy of ZnO nanoparticles increased as the particle size decreased.…”

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.

“…Chitosan incorporating nano-iron oxide (Fe 3 O 4 ) has been used for purification of dye-containing wastewater (Prasanna et al 2019;Ngah et al 2011). Chitosan/nano-Fe 3 O 4 nanomaterial is also increasing frictions due to magnetic dipole-dipole interactions during the degradation of the hazardous X-3B dye (Adnan et al 2020).…”

Green polymeric nanomaterials for the photocatalytic degradation of dyes: a review

Pure and drinkable water will be rarer and more expensive as the result of pollution induced by industrialisation, urbanisation and population growth. Among the numerous sources of water pollution, the textile industry has become a major issue because effluents containing dyes are often released in natural water bodies. For instance, about two years are needed to biodegrade dye-derived, carcinogenic aromatic amines, in sediments. Classical remediation methods based upon physicochemical reactions are costly and still generate sludges that contain amine residues. Nonetheless, recent research shows that nanomaterials containing biopolymers are promising to degrade organic pollutants by photocatalysis. Here, we review the synthesis and applications of biopolymeric nanomaterials for photocatalytic degradation of azo dyes. We focus on conducting biopolymers incorporating metal, metal oxide, metal/metal oxide and metal sulphide for improved biodegradation. Biopolymers can be obtained from microorganisms, plants and animals. Unlike fossil-fuel-derived polymers, biopolymers are carbon neutral and thus sustainable in the context of global warming. Biopolymers are often biodegradable and biocompatible.

“…Common techniques for preparing metal oxide-filled polymer nanocomposites include: (1) polymerization of monomers in the presence of metal oxide nanoparticles in situ; (2) direct blending of metal oxide nanoparticles and polymers by mixing in a melt or solution; (3) the sol-gel process [ 10 ]. Originally, polymer composites were reinforced with microsized metal oxide inclusions.…”

The development of advanced composite biomaterials combining the versatility and biodegradability of polymers and the unique characteristics of metal oxide nanoparticles unveils new horizons in emerging biomedical applications, including tissue regeneration, drug delivery and gene therapy, theranostics and medical imaging. Nanocrystalline cerium(IV) oxide, or nanoceria, stands out from a crowd of other metal oxides as being a truly unique material, showing great potential in biomedicine due to its low systemic toxicity and numerous beneficial effects on living systems. The combination of nanoceria with new generations of biomedical polymers, such as PolyHEMA (poly(2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate)-based hydrogels, electrospun nanofibrous polycaprolactone or natural-based chitosan or cellulose, helps to expand the prospective area of applications by facilitating their bioavailability and averting potential negative effects. This review describes recent advances in biomedical polymeric material practices, highlights up-to-the-minute cerium oxide nanoparticle applications, as well as polymer-nanoceria composites, and aims to address the question: how can nanoceria enhance the biomedical potential of modern polymeric materials?
