“…In the medical sector, they play a crucial role in drug delivery systems [34], wound dressings [35], tissue engineering [36], or as agents with antibacterial properties [37]. Within cosmetics, polymeric hydrogels are employed into products such as gels, creams, and lotions to enhance texture and stability [38,39]. Moreover, in agriculture, these hydrogels may be utilized for the controlled delivery of fertilizers or pesticides [40].…”

Removal of contaminants from discharge water is vital and demands urgent assistance with the goal to keep clean water. Adsorption is one of the most common, efficient, and low-priced methods used in water treatment. Various polysaccharide-based gels have been used as efficient dye adsorbents from wastewater. This review summarizes cutting-edge research of the last decade of different hydrogels based on natural polysaccharides (chitin, chitosan, cellulose, starch, pullulan, and dextran) concerning their dye adsorption efficiency. Beyond their natural abundance, attributes of polysaccharides such as biocompatibility, biodegradability, and low cost make them not only efficient, but also environmentally sustainable candidates for water purification. The synthesis and dye removal performance together with the effect of diverse factors on gels retaining ability, kinetic, and isotherm models encountered in adsorption studies, are introduced. Thermodynamic parameters, sorbent recycling capacity along with conclusions and future prospects are also presented.

“…The anti-microbial activity of the natural pure CS was evaluated using the colorimetric microdilution test. The Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) values found for CS were found out to be 0.62 mg/mL for E. coli and 0.31 mg/mL for P. aeruginosa and S. aureus [34]. Copper complexes of N-vanillidene-2-amino-thiazole Schiff base derivatives were synthesized and added to the blend of CA and lignin.…”

The consumption of diapers and sanitary products has constantly been rising. Several problems are associated with using chemical-based sanitary products, which are difficult to degrade easily and cause nappy rash and bacterial infections in babies. Therefore, there is an increasing shift towards natural-based sanitary products because of their biodegradability, non-toxicity, and biocompatibility. Several studies are being carried out in which researchers have incorporated natural polymers, such as cellulose, starch, alginate, and xantham gum for producing superabsorbent materials. Chitosan (CS) is one such natural polymer that exhibits anti-microbial activity because of the functional groups present in its structure. Moreover, it is also easily available, biodegradable, and non-toxic. This review mainly focuses on CS’s properties and several approaches to synthesizing natural polymer-based superabsorbent products, such as sanitary pads and diapers. It also briefly discusses the diversified applications of CS as a biopolymer in the cosmetic, medical, food, and textile industries. In addition, this study implies using CS as a superabsorbent biopolymer in the manufacturing and producing sanitary products for women and children. Due to the excellent water retention capacity, swelling ability, and anti-microbial activity exhibited by CS can be considered a potential candidate for producing superabsorbent biopolymers.

“…Gonçalves et al [ 91 ] analyzed chitosan/polyvinyl alcohol/glycerol electrospun nanofibers to be applied in skin care and found the best sample with chitosan: polyvinyl alcohol 1:3.5 ratio. The conclusion has been drawn with the suggestion that the quality of nanofibers is based on the degree of hydrolysis of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), rather than its molecular weight.…”

This review covers recent developments and progress in polymer and biopolymer blending and material preparation by electrospinning. Electrospinning is a technique that is used to produce nanofibers to improve the quality of membranes. Electrospun nanofibers are highly applicable in biomedical sciences, supercapacitors, and in water treatment following metal ion adsorption. The key affecting factors of electrospinning have been checked in the literature to obtain optimal conditions of the electrospinning process. Future research directions and outlooks have been suggested to think about innovative ideas for research in this field.
