The demineralization, deproteinization, discoloration, and deacetylation of chitin produce chitosan consisting of <span>d</span>-glucosamine and N-acetyl <span>d</span>-glucosamine units that are linked through β-(1,4)-glycosidic linkages. Chitosan has gained significant attention in the biomedical field due to its unique properties such as abundance, renewability, non-toxic nature, antimicrobial activity, biodegradability, and polyfunctionality. One of its key properties is its antimicrobial activity, which is why it has been heavily utilized in the biomedical field. To provide a comprehensive overview of chitosan, this review discusses its extraction from chitin and its properties based on its source and extraction methods. It also delves into various chemical modifications and nanocomposite development using natural and synthetic materials. The review emphasizes the multitude of properties that make chitosan an excellent choice for a wide range of biomedical applications. It discusses various mechanisms of antibacterial activity and the factors affecting this activity. Additionally, the review highlights biodegradability, hemocompatibility, antioxidant activity, anti-inflammation, and other properties of chitosan that contribute to its suitability for different biomedical applications, including wound dressing materials, drug delivery carriers, biosensing and diagnostic devices, bone substitutes, and bioimaging. While discussing some limitations of chitosan, the review concludes with an overview of the future perspective for developing multifunctional chitosan-based nanomaterials that could potentially move from laboratory to clinical trials for treating various diseases.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":7186,"journal":{"name":"Advanced Industrial and Engineering Polymer Research","volume":"7 1","pages":"Pages 79-99"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2542504823000489/pdfft?md5=fc03ea956a5e65851da5c5e3ad917a32&pid=1-s2.0-S2542504823000489-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43068448","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Before using nanostructured materials in clinical applications, many important challenges, especially those related to their uses in biomedicine, must be resolved. Biological activity, compatibility, toxicity, and nano-bio interfacial characteristics are some of the major problems in biomedicine. We may therefore investigate the nanostructured materials for biomedical applications with the aid of modern characterization techniques. This overview article illustrates the present state of nanostructured materials in the biomedical field with uses and the importance of characterization methods through the use of cutting-edge characterization techniques. In this article, the techniques for analysing the topology of nanostructures, including Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy (FESEM), Dynamic Light Scattering (DLS), Scanning Probe Microscopy (SPM), Near-field Scanning Optical Microscopy (NSOM), and Confocal microscopy, are described. In addition, the internal structural investigation techniques X-ray diffraction (XRD), Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM), and Magnetic Resonance Force Microscopy (MRFM) are discussed. In addition, composition analysis techniques such as X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS), Energy Dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS), Auger Electron Spectroscopy (AES), and Secondary Ion Mass Spectroscopy (SIMS) have been discussed. The essence of the nanomaterials as they relate to physics, chemistry, and biology is thoroughly explained in this overview along with characterization techniques through case studies.

Blending offers an affordable route to combine the advantages of different biopolymers for tailored performance. However, most biopolymer pairs are intrinsically immiscible, necessitating compatibilization to obtain optimal blend morphology, interfacial interaction, and properties. This review summarizes key compatibilization strategies and recent advances in tailoring biopolymer blends. Non-reactive techniques using block or graft copolymers can increase compatibility, though property enhancements are often modest. More impactful are reactive methods, which functionalize and form compatibilizing copolymers in-situ during melt-blending. Nanoparticle incorporation also effectively compatibilizes through interface localization and morphology control. These strategies enable significant toughening and compatibilization of poly(lactic acid) (PLA) and other brittle biopolyesters by blending with ductile polymers such as poly(butylene adipate-<em>co</em>-terephthalate)((PBAT) or elastomers like natural rubber. Properly compatibilized PLA blends exhibit major simultaneous improvements in elongation, strength, and impact resistance. Using inexpensive starch decreases cost but requires compatibilization to maintain adequate properties. Nanoparticles additionally impart functionality like barrier and flame retardance. However, quantitatively correlating interaction, processing, morphology, and properties will enable further blend optimization. Developing tailored reactive chemistries and nanoparticles offers potential beyond conventional techniques, and retaining biodegradability is also crucial. Overall, compatibilization facilitates synergistic property combinations from complementary biopolymers, providing eco-friendly, high-performance, and cost-effective alternatives to traditional plastics across diverse applications.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":7186,"journal":{"name":"Advanced Industrial and Engineering Polymer Research","volume":"7 4","pages":"Pages 373-404"},"PeriodicalIF":9.9,"publicationDate":"2023-11-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2542504823000738/pdfft?md5=ca120bfd7a54952e873947fe87601eca&pid=1-s2.0-S2542504823000738-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135764289","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
