“…Most natural polysaccharides (e.g., chitosan, starch, alginate) contain hydrophilic groups (hydroxyl, carboxyl, amino), which show bioadhesion to biological structures (epithelia, mucous membranes). Nanoparticles formed from bioadhesive polysaccharides may prove useful as carriers of drugs, extending their persistence in a particular environment [ 19 , 20 ]. Considering that the type of matrix affects the properties and reactivity of nanocomposites, the polysaccharides most commonly used to produce bionanocomposites can be classified according to their ionic nature: neutral (starch, agarose, pullulan, dextran), anionic (carrageenans, hyaluronic acid, heparin, furcellaran) and cationic (quaternary chitosan).…”

Nanotechnology is a dynamically developing field of science, due to the unique physical, chemical and biological properties of nanomaterials. Innovative structures using nanotechnology have found application in diverse fields: in agricultural and food industries, where they improve the quality and safety of food; in medical and biological sciences; cosmetology; and many other areas of our lives. In this article, a particular attention is focused on carbon nanomaterials, especially graphene, as well as carbon nanotubes and carbon quantum dots that have been successfully used in biotechnology, biomedicine and broadly defined environmental applications. Some properties of carbon nanomaterials prevent their direct use. One example is the difficulty in synthesizing graphene-based materials resulting from the tendency of graphene to aggregate. This results in a limitation of their use in certain fields. Therefore, in order to achieve a wider use and better availability of nanoparticles, they are introduced into matrices, most often polysaccharides with a high hydrophilicity. Such composites can compete with synthetic polymers. For this purpose, the carbon-based nanoparticles in polysaccharides matrices were characterized. The paper presents the progress of ground-breaking research in the field of designing innovative carbon-based nanomaterials, and applications of nanotechnology in diverse fields that are currently being developed is of high interest and shows great innovative potential.
