[PMID: 40362943 PMCID: PMC12073180 DOI: 10.3390/polym17091159] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/31/2025] [Revised: 04/08/2025] [Accepted: 04/10/2025] [Indexed: 05/15/2025] Open
Abstract
Tannins, present in all plants, are the most abundant polyphenols in the world. Their potential as a raw material for modifying wood alongside furfuryl alcohol (FA) has already been demonstrated in previous studies. This study focused on using large quantities of hydrolysable tannins from chestnut (Castanea sativa) to replace as much FA as possible to chemically modify beech wood (Fagus sylvatica L.). Impregnation was carried out using different concentrations and ratios of both FA and tannins and tartaric acid as catalysts through a vacuum/atmospheric pressure cycle. Copolymerization was carried out for 24 h at 120 °C. Properties such as weight percent gain (WPG), leachability, anti-swelling efficiency (ASE), thermal stability, wettability and durability against brown rot (Coniophora puteana) and white rot (Coriolus versicolor) were analyzed and compared to a furfurylation treatment without the addition of tannins. These treatments were also chemically characterized using FTIR spectroscopy. The results showed that replacing 50% of FA mass by tannins largely increased WPG and demonstrated similar leachability and dimensional stability to standard furfurylation. Above all, the new treatment showed to have better resistance to wood-degrading fungi, in addition to improved wettability and thermal stability.

Abstract
Aromatic biopolymers are the second largest group of biopolymers after polysaccharides. Depolymerization of aromatic biopolymers, as cheap and renewable substitutes for fossil-based resources, has been used in the preparation of biofuels, and a range of aromatic and aliphatic small molecules. Additionally, these polymers exhibit a robust UV-shielding function due to the high content of aromatic groups. Meanwhile, the abundance of phenolic groups in their structures gives these compounds outstanding antioxidant capabilities, making them well-suited for a diverse array of anti-UV and medical applications. Nevertheless, these biopolymers possess inherent drawbacks in their pristine states, such as rigid structure, low solubility, and lack of desired functionalities, which hinder their complete exploitation across diverse sectors. Thus, the modification and functionalization of aromatic biopolymers are essential to provide them with specific functionalities and features needed for particular applications. Aromatic biopolymers include lignins, tannins, melanins, and humic acids. The objective of this review is to offer a thorough reference for assessing the chemistry and functionalization of lignins and condensed tannins. Lignins represent the largest and most prominent category of aromatic biopolymers, typically distinguishable as either softwood-derived or hardwood-derived lignins. Besides, condensed tannins are the most investigated group of the tannin family. The electron-rich aromatic rings, aliphatic hydroxyl groups, and phenolic groups are the main functional groups in the structure of lignins and condensed tannins. Methoxy groups are also abundant in lignins. Each group displays varying chemical reactivity within these biopolymers. Therefore, the selective and specific functionalization of lignins and condensed tannins can be achieved by understanding the chemistry behavior of these functional groups. Targeted applications include biomedicine, monomers and surface active agents for sustainable plastics.

Abstract
The enzymatic polymerization of biomass-derived polyphenols presents a sustainable approach to producing advanced materials. However, the structural diversity and incomplete characterization of tannins pose challenges to optimizing the process. This study investigates how tannin composition and the presence of phenolic and non-phenolic compounds in aqueous Pinus radiata bark extracts influence laccase-catalyzed polymerization and the resulting material's thermal and structural properties. The extracts were characterized using proximate and ultimate analysis, Py-GC/MS, FT-IR, TGA, and phenol content analysis before polymerization with Myceliophthora thermophila laccase (MtL). Structural and thermal analysis of the polymers revealed significant transformations driven by enzymatic oxidation. Tannin extracts rich in resorcinol and low in carbohydrates and less polar compounds produced highly cross-linked polymers with exceptional thermal stability, retaining 86% residual mass at 550°C. These findings demonstrate that tannin composition plays a key role in polymerization efficiency and material performance. The resulting thermally stable polymers offer potential applications in flame retardancy and sustainable material development, providing a promising pathway for biomass valorization.

Abstract
Silver nanoclusters (AgNCs) have shown broad application prospects in catalysis, sensing, and biological fields. However, the limited stability of AgNCs has become the main challenge restricting their practical application in complex environments. Herein, a mussel-inspired, dopamine-assisted self-assembly approach is reported to fabricate 3D AgNC aerogels (PDA/AgNCs), which possess significantly enhanced structural stability and synergistic functional properties. The prepared AgNC aerogels display a hierarchical network structure with an ultrafine ligament size of 10.3 ± 1.2 nm and a high specific surface area of 50.7 m2 g-1. The gelation mechanism is elucidated by in-depth characterization and time-lapse monitoring of the gelation process vis spectroscopic and microscopic approaches. Owing to the distinct features of aerogels and the synergistic effect of AgNCs and PDA, the fabricated aerogels can not only efficiently decolorize dyes with a faster kinetic than individual AgNCs, but also exhibit remarkable broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity. Consequently, a conceptual water-treatment device is established by depositing PDA/AgNC aerogels on the cotton substrate, which shows good performance in both catalytic dye degradation and bacterial killing in the flowing system. This mussel-inspired self-assembly strategy has great potential in developing robust AgNC-based functional materials, which also provides a new guideline for designing sophisticated materials with integrated functions and synergistic properties.

Abstract
Tannin-based foams have gained attention as a potential bio-based alternative to conventional synthetic foams. Traditionally, namely condensed tannins (CT) have been used, leaving the potential of hydrolysable tannins (HT) largely unexplored. This study compared the performance of chestnut (HT) and quebracho (CT) in tannin-protein-based foams at different tannin ratios. Using soy protein isolate (SPI) and hexamine under acidic conditions, a series of tannin foams were produced through a mechanical foaming method and analyzed for cell structure, compression strength, thermal conductivity, and chemical stability. Results show that chestnut tannin is viable in hexamine SPI formulations but is harder to process due to lower reactivity, further resulting in higher material densities compared to quebracho. Foams with higher quebracho content featured smaller, more interconnected cells, while increasing chestnut content led to larger, less interconnected cells. Compression strength decreased with higher chestnut content, while fire resistance and thermal conductivity were influenced by material density rather than tannin type. The 13C-NMR analysis revealed covalent bonding of hexamine with both tannins, but potential covalent bonds with SPI were undetectable. Overall, chestnut tannin can substitute quebracho tannin in hexamine-SPI foams, though with compromises in terms of specific material properties and processability.

Abstract
To effectively mitigate carbon emissions and promote sustainability in the polymer field, biological macromolecules have emerged as a prominent strategy for fabricating functional materials. Herein, tannin (TA) was used as a biological curing agent to design fully bio-based polylactic/epoxidized natural rubber thermoplastic vulcanizates (PLA/ENR TPVs) with mechanical robustness and multi-stimuli-responsive shape memory properties. A dual cross-linking network, comprising both covalent bonds and hydrogen bonds, was successfully constructed in the ENR phase. A special co-continuous morphology was concomitantly constructed in the TPVs, which promoted effective stress transfer between the PLA and ENR phases, endowing the TPVs with balanced stiffness-toughness and shape memory properties. Moreover, the photothermal effect of TA also made it respond to near-infrared light and sunlight, which achieved the non-contact multistage shape memory performance, revealing the significant potential of the TPVs in the field of actuators.

Abstract
In this study, various chitosan-based films such as chitosan (C), chitosan-condensed tannin (CT), chitosan-casein (CC), and chitosan-casein-condensed tannin (CCT) films were prepared for the purpose of food packaging. In order to improve the hydrophobicity of these films, carnauba wax was blended into CCT to produce CCTW film. Properties such as morphology, UV resistance, water solubility, barrier performance, tensile strength, antioxidant, antibacterial and its performance as food packaging were evaluated. Compared with other chitosan-based films, CCTW films exhibited higher UV resistance, tensile strength, thermal stability and hydrophobicity. The addition of both condensed tannin and carnauba wax has significantly decreased the water vapor and oxygen permeability of the CCTW films. The CCTW films were proved capable of repelling most daily consuming liquids. Besides, CCTW films displayed outstanding free radical scavenging rate and antibacterial properties. Meanwhile, bananas wrapped with CCTW films remained fresh for seven days without any mold growth and outperformed other types of films. Apart from that, the CCTW films also showed biodegradable characteristics after exposure to Penicillium sp. These distinguished characteristics made the CCTW films a promising packaging material for long-term food storage.

Abstract
In the foreseeable future, the development of petroleum-based polymeric materials may be limited, owing to the gradual consumption of disposable resources and the increasing emphasis on environmental protection policies. Therefore, it is necessary to focus on introducing environmentally friendly renewable biobased materials as a substitute for petroleum-based feed stocks in the preparation of different types of industrially important polymers. Plant polyphenols, a kind of natural aromatic biomolecule, exist widely in some plant species. Benefiting from their special macromolecular structure, high reactivity, and broad abundance, plant polyphenols are potent candidates to replace the dwindling aromatic monomers derived from petroleum-based resources in synthesizing high-quality polymeric materials. In this review, the most related and innovative methods for elaborating novel polymeric materials from plant polyphenols are addressed. After a brief historical overview, the classification, structural characteristics, and reactivity of plant polyphenols are summarized in detail. In addition, some interesting and innovative works concerning the chemical modifications and polymerization techniques of plant polyphenols are also discussed. Importantly, the main chemical pathways to create plant polyphenol-based organic/organic-inorganic polymeric materials as well as their properties and possible applications are systematically described. We believe that this review could offer helpful references for designing multifunctional polyphenolic materials.

Abstract
Ten dimeric procyanidin (PC) analogs were hemisynthesized from catechin or epicatechin and from five different aldehydes using the same mechanism that produces the important acetaldehyde-mediated adducts of proanthocyanidins (PAs) and anthocyanins in red wine. Protein precipitation capacity (PPC), octanol-water partition coefficient (log P) and stability of the PC analogs were determined. The emphasis was on the PPC because it has been shown to correlate with anthelmintic activity against gastrointestinal nematodes in ruminants and with other beneficial bioactivities in animals, as well. The PPC of PC analogs was greatly improved compared to natural PC dimers, but the capacity was not as great as that of a PC trimer or epigallocatechin gallate. The log P of PC analogs varied from hydrophobic to hydrophilic depending on the intramolecular linkage. Great variation was observed in stabilities of PC analogs in phosphate buffered saline, and the mixtures of degradation products were characterized using high-resolution mass spectrometry.

Abstract
Phenolic compounds or polyphenols are among the most common compounds of secondary metabolism in plants. Their biosynthesis is characteristic of all plant cells and is carried out with the participation of the shikimate and acetate-malonate pathways. In this case, polyphenols of various structures are formed, such as phenylpropanoids, flavonoids, and various oligomeric and polymeric compounds of phenolic nature. Their number already exceeds 10,000. The diversity of phenolics affects their biological activity and functional role. Most of their representatives are characterized by interaction with reactive oxygen species, which manifests itself not only in plants but also in the human body, where they enter through food chains. Having a high biological activity, phenolic compounds are successfully used as medicines and nutritional supplements for the health of the population. The accumulation and biosynthesis of polyphenols in plants depend on many factors, including physiological-biochemical, molecular-genetic, and environmental factors. In the review, we present the latest literature data on the structure of various classes of phenolic compounds, their antioxidant activity, and their biosynthesis, including their molecular genetic aspects (genes and transfactors). Since plants grow with significant environmental changes on the planet, their response to the action of abiotic factors (light, UV radiation, temperature, and heavy metals) at the level of accumulation and composition of these secondary metabolites, as well as their metabolic regulation, is considered. Information is given about plant polyphenols as important and necessary components of functional nutrition and pharmaceutically valuable substances for the health of the population. Proposals on promising areas of research and development in the field of plant polyphenols are presented.

Abstract
The realization of high stiffness, high extensibility, and multi-functions for polylactic acid (PLA) is a vital issue for its practical applications. Herein, hydroxyalkylated tannin acid (mTA), a phenolic compound-based modifier with plentiful flat aromatic structures and flexible isopropanol oligomers, is designed and fabricated to act as the multifunctional modifier for PLA. The mTA exhibits the capability of emitting fluorescence and blocking UV light due to the combination of flat aromatic structures and plentiful flexible chains. Besides, mTA with high grafting degree (h-mTA) shows an excellent compatibility to PLA due to the hydrogen bonding interface and the high affinity of grafted isopropanol oligomers to PLA. As a result, the as-prepared PLA/h-mTA20 composite exhibits a strikingly improved extensibility by 61.2 times while maintaining the high yield strength of PLA. Moreover, PLA/h-mTA can serve as a fluorescent material with multi-mode responsiveness as well as a UV-shielding material with high transparency. We envision that this work opens a novel yet facile way to prepare a strong, tough, and multifunctional PLA material with expanded application scopes and will promote the practical applications of phenolic compounds in polymers.

Abstract
Inspired by phenol-amine chemistry of mussels, a synthesis-free and fully biomass adhesive composed of chitosan and tannin (CST) was successfully developed by a facile method. The performance of CST adhesive for bonding bamboo, wood and bamboo-wood substrates were tested. When 160 °C hot-press temperature was used, dry lap shear strength above 5.00 MPa was obtained. The CST adhesive has remarkable water resistance and low cure temperature as high wet shear strength of 2.37 MPa for plybamboo specimens was achieved after 3 h boiling in water even though low hot-press temperature of 100 °C was applied. Further, high strength of 1.78 MPa remained after 72 h boiling. With higher hot-press temperatures used, wet shear strength above 3.60 MPa was achieved. The adhesion performance for wood substrate was also superior to other phenol-amine adhesives reported in literatures. The bamboo-wood composites assembled with CST adhesive show excellent mechanical performance, specifically modulus of rupture (MOR) of 100-133 MPa and modulus of elasticity (MOE) of 10-13 GPa were achieved with different hot-press temperatures used. Given the advantages including outstanding water resistance, facile preparation, fully biomass, and low cure temperature, CST adhesive exhibited great potential to be an ideal alternative to formaldehyde-based resin for wood and bamboo bonding.

Abstract
A novel co-graft tannin and polyethyleneimine co-coating magnetic composite (TP@Fe3O4) was prepared in the study. On this premise, an unique stepwise efficient strategy based on magnetic flocculation and Sulfate radical (SO4•-)-advanced oxidation processes (S-AOPs) for eliminating Microcystis aeruginosa (M. aeruginosa) and algal organic matters (AOMs) was presented. Due to the high positive charge of TP@Fe3O4, a > 99 % high algae removal rate was obtained at a modest TP@Fe3O4 dosage of 100 mg/L at pH = 8.0 with a short separation time of 5 min. Further, peroxymonosulfate (PMS) treatment was employed as a pre-oxidation method to lower cell stability and promote M. aeruginosa removal by subsequent TP@Fe3O4 flocculation. The PMS/TP@Fe3O4 system successfully cuts the optimum dose of TP@Fe3O4 in half (50 mg/L) without causing obvious cell damage. Following algal fast magnetic separation, ultraviolet (UV) was introduced to activate PMS to totally degrade AOM and microcystin. Response surface methodology (RSM) demonstrated that UV/PMS oxidation removed > 80 % of DOC and > 94 % of microcystin under optimal conditions. SO4•- was the main radical species that aided in the elimination of AOM. This is the first study to use magnetic flocculation in conjunction with AOPs to mitigate harmful algal blooms, which can enable the non-destructive eradication of M. aeruginosa while also efficiently degrading AOMs.

Abstract
Terminalia ferdinandiana Exell., also known as Kakadu plum, is a wild-harvested native Australian fruit with limited information on how maturity is affecting the phytonutritional properties and bioactivities of the fruit. Thus, this study investigated changes in hydrolysable tannins, phenolic acids, sugar profile, standard physicochemical parameters, and antioxidant-scavenging capacity of wild-harvested Kakadu plum fruits at four different maturity stages, from immature to fully mature. Fruits harvested <25, 25-50, 50-75, and 75-100% degree of fullness were classified as highly immature (stage 1), immature (stage 2), semi-mature (stage 3), and fully mature (stage 4), respectively. Results showed that chebulagic acid, geraniin, chebulinic acid, castalagin, punicalagin, and gallic acid continuously decreased during fruit maturity, while elaeocarpusin, helioscopin B, corilagin, 3,4,6-tri-O-galloyl-S-glucose, and ellagic acid increased at the beginning of fruit growth (from stage 1 to 2), but decreased when the fruits reached their full maturity (stage 4). The levels of hydrolysable tannins and phenolic acids in fully mature fruits (stage 4) were significantly (p ≤ 0.05) lower than that in their immature counterparts (stages 1 and 2). Total phenolic content (TPC) and DPPH antioxidant radical-scavenging activity did not vary significantly between different maturity stages. Pearson's correlation coefficient test indicated that TPC and DPPH positively (p ≤ 0.05) correlate with most of the studied tannin compounds. Sugars (glucose, fructose, and sucrose), total soluble solid content, and titratable acidity increased during the fruit development. Furthermore, principal component analysis (PCA) revealed the difference between the immature and mature samples, based on their nutritional profile and bioactive compounds. The PCA results also suggested a considerable variability between the individual trees, highlighting the challenges of wild-harvest practice.

Abstract
In this study, for the first time, we developed a series of co-graft tannin-based flocculants, TA-g-P(AM-DMDAAC), with different charge densities (CDs) and molecular weights (MWs) and evaluated their algal-removal performances. The effects of TA-g-P(AM-DMDAAC) on the cell integrity of Microcystis aeruginosa and release of extracellular organic matter (EOM) and microcystin-leucine-arginine (MC-LR) in flocculation and floc storage were also studied. Results suggested that TA-g-P(AM-DMDAAC) could not only efficiently remove algal cells over a wide pH range (pH 3-11) but also EOM. CD and MW significantly affected flocculation performance and floc characteristics of TA-g-P(AM-DMDAAC). A higher CD helped achieve a higher removal efficiency of algal cells and EOM, whereas a higher MW resulted in the formation of larger and more compact flocs. Furthermore, the larger and denser flocs could better protect algal cells and reduce the release of EOM during floc storage. Notably, algal cells in the TA-g-P(AM-DMDAAC) flocs did not appear to show signs of massive rupture nor did they release EOM and MC-LR extensively for at least 20 days of storage. The abundance and easy availability of tannin resources effectively reduce the cost of preparing tannin-based flocculants. Therefore, TA-g-P(AM-DMDAAC) can have broad application prospects in the management of cyanobacteria bloom.

Abstract
One of the major challenges currently in the field of material science is finding natural alternatives to the high-performing plastics developed in the last century. Consumers trust synthetic products for their excellent properties, but they are becoming aware of their impact on the planet. One of the most attractive precursors for natural polymers is tannin extracts and in particular condensed tannins. Quebracho (Schinopsis balansae) extract is one of the few industrially available flavonoids and can be exploited as a building block for thermoset resins due to its phenol-like reactivity. The aim of this study was to systematically investigate different hardeners and evaluate the water resistance, thermal behavior, and chemical structure of the quebracho tannin-based polymers in order to understand their suitability as adhesives. It was observed that around 80% of the extract is resistant to leaching when 5% of formaldehyde or hexamine or 10% of glyoxal or furfural are added. Additionally, furfuryl alcohol guarantees high leaching resistance, but only at higher proportions (20%). The quebracho-based formulations showed specific thermal behavior during hardening and higher degradation resistance than the extract. Finally, these polymers undergo similar chemistry to those of mimosa, with exclusive reactivity of the A-ring of the flavonoid.
