| description | Biopolymers and their nano-structured analogs play a vital role in hindering an issue of feedstock lack and in generating an eco-friendly environment. A fast-evolving multidisciplinary science known as nanotechnology enables the manufacturing of polymers at the nanoscale scale for various medical applications. As compared to synthetic ones, biopolymers used in biomedical applications ensure biocompatibility, biodegradability, and minimal immunogenicity. A biopolymer such as silk fibroins, collagen, gelatin, albumin, starch, cellulose, and chitosan can be readily produced into suspensions which act as carriers for dual-large and small medicinal molecules. The techniques, commonly used to make the biopolymer, include spray-drying, electrospraying, desolvation, supercritical fluid extraction, layer-by-layer self-assembly, freeze drying, and microemulsion for different applications in medicine such as nanocarrier for drug delivery systems, tissue engineering, regenerative medicine, water treatment, energy sector, and food industry. We also discussed the various characterization techniques and importance of biopolymers in nanotechnology-based biomedical applications. ? 2024 by John Wiley & Sons, Inc. All rights reserved. |
