Abstract
Therapeutic polysaccharide-based coatings have recently emerged as versatile strategies to transform a conventional medical implant into a drug delivery system. However, the translation of these polysaccharide-based coatings into the clinic as drug delivery systems still requires a deeper understanding of their drug degradation/release profiles. This claim is supported by little or no data. In this review paper, a comprehensive description of the benefits and challenges generated by the polysaccharide-based coatings is provided. Moreover, the latest advances made towards the application of the most important representative coatings based on polysaccharide types for drug delivery are debated. Furthermore, suggestions/recommendations for future research to speed up the transition of polysaccharide-based drug delivery systems from the laboratory testing to clinical applications are given.

Abstract
The blending of natural polysaccharides with synthetic polymers has attracted much attention in drug delivery models owing to their remarkable biodegradable and biocompatible characteristics. This study focuses on the facile preparation of a sequence of composite films having Starch/Poly(allylamine hydrochloride) (ST/PAH) in different compositions to propose a novel drug delivery system (DDS). ST/PAH blend films were developed and characterized. FT-IR evaluation confirmed the involvement of intermolecular H-bonding between the ST and PAH counterparts in blended films. The water contact angle (WCA) ranged from 71° to 100° indicating that all the films were hydrophobic. TPH-1 (90 % ST and 10 % PAH) was evaluated for in vitro controlled drug release (CDR) at 37 ± 0.5 °C in a time-dependent fashion. CDR was recorded in phosphate buffer saline (PBS) and simulated gastric fluid (SGF). In the case of SGF (pH 1.2), the percentile drug release (DR) for TPH-1 was approximately 91 % in 110 min, while the maximum DR was 95 % in 80 min in PBS (pH 7.4) solution. Our results demonstrate that the fabricated biocompatible blend films can be a promising candidate for a sustained-release DDS for oral drug administration, tissue engineering, wound dressings, and other biomedical applications.

Abstract
Nanocomposites are promising drug carriers to treat terminal cancers with few adverse effects. Herein, nanocomposite hydrogels composed of carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC)/starch/reduced graphene oxide (RGO) were synthesized via a green chemistry approach and then encapsulated in double nanoemulsions to act as pH-responsive delivery systems for curcumin, a potential antitumor drug. A water/oil/water nanoemulsion containing bitter almond oil served as a membrane surrounding the nanocarrier to control drug release. DLS and zeta potential measurements were used to estimate the size and confirm the stability of curcumin-loaded nanocarriers. The intermolecular interactions, crystalline structure and morphology of the nanocarriers were analyzed through FTIR spectroscopy, XRD and FESEM, respectively. The drug loading and entrapment efficiencies were significantly improved compared to previously reported curcumin delivery systems. In vitro release experiments demonstrated the pH-responsiveness of the nanocarriers and the faster curcumin release at a lower pH. The MTT assay revealed the increased toxicity of the nanocomposites against MCF-7 cancer cells compared to CMC, CMC/RGO or free curcumin. Apoptosis was detected in MCF-7 cells via flow cytometry tests. The results obtained herein support that the developed nanocarriers are stable, uniform and effective delivery systems for a sustained and pH-sensitive curcumin release.

Abstract
The use of starch, a natural polymeric material, and derivatives thereof is based on its adhesive, thickening, gelling, swelling, and film-forming properties, as well as its ready availability. The objective of this research work is to develop an effective propylated Dioscorea abyssinica starch (PDAS) as a hydrophobic excipient for pharmaceutical applications with a reasonable price. This paper reports on the synthesis, characterization, and in vivo safety evaluation of PDAS. Native Dioscorea abyssinica starch (NDAS) was modified to its propylated form with propionic anhydride and characterized. Crystallinity, morphological structure, thermal behavior, solubility, and safety of PDAS were evaluated using x-ray diffraction, SEM, thermogravimetric, gravimetric, and toxicity studies, respectively. Propionyl content and degree of substitution (DS) of starch increased significantly (p < 0.05) with an increase in reaction time and temperature. Propionyl content and DS of starch increased significantly (p < 0.05) with a decrease in the ratio of starch to pyridine and starch to propionic anhydride in the reaction medium. FTIR spectra of PDAS indicated that hydroxyl groups participated in the propylation reaction. X-ray diffraction results showed that the chemical modification destroyed the crystalline structure of the NDAS. SEM of NDAS showed a rounded shape which became irregular after propylation. Thermogravimetric curves revealed that all the PDAS samples decomposed at higher temperatures than their native counterparts. At higher DS, swelling power and solubility in an aqueous environment significantly (p < 0.05) decreased below that of the native starch. PDAS with high DS, were soluble in organic solvents at room temperature. But PDAS with lower DS didn't dissolve in all types of organic solvents used. PDAS (DS = 2.842) in distilled water did not produce adverse effects in rats. Based on the results obtained, it can be concluded that PDAS can be considered as a generally safe excipient and fulfills the physicochemical properties of a hydrophobic excipient.

Abstract
Natural biodegradable polymers generally include polysaccharides (starch, alginate, chitin/chitosan, hyaluronic acid derivatives, etc.) and proteins (collagen, gelatin, fibrin, etc.). In transdermal drug delivery systems (TDDS), these polymers play a vital role in controlling the device's drug release. It is possible that natural polymers can be used for TDDS to attain predetermined drug delivery rates due to their physicochemical properties. These polymers can be employed to market products and scale production because they are readily available and inexpensive. As a result of these polymers, new pharmaceutical delivery systems can be developed that is both regulated and targeted. The focus of this article is the application of a biodegradable polymeric platform based on natural polymers for TDDS. Due to their biocompatibility and biodegradability, natural biodegradable polymers are frequently used in biomedical applications. Additionally, these natural biodegradable polymers are being studied for their characteristics and behaviors.

Abstract
In this work we explore the mechanisms of ion-specific stabilization of a polysaccharide-based coating for colloidal nanomaterials used within the oil & gas industry. While nanotechnology has wide prevalence across multiple industries, its utility within this sector is largely undeveloped but has potential applications in areas including (but not limited to) exploration, drilling and production processes. For example, reservoir contrast agents in the form of superparamagnetic nanoparticles could be used to accurately determine the residual oil saturation distribution in a reservoir and thus advise enhanced oil recovery (EOR) efforts. However, deployment of such materials in oil reservoirs proves challenging in cases where high salinity subsurface environments induce nanoparticle aggregation, leading to loss of mobility. Here, we report the synthesis and characterization of dextran-coated superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (Dex-SPIONs), the colloidal stability of which was evaluated in various brine formulations at elevated temperatures. Initial dynamic light scattering (DLS) measurements reveal a lack of contingency between particle stability and total electrolyte concentration for samples comprised of synthetic seawater and low-salinity brine, the latter fluid of which possesses higher ionic strength yet preserves colloidal integrity to a much greater extent than its seawater counterpart. Further experiments point to a calcium (Ca2+) ion-specific stabilization effect wherein surface complexation of Ca2+ ions to the dextran periphery improves carbohydrate hydration and thus enhances colloidal stability. Ion selective electrode (ISE) measurements provide additional evidence of the Ca2+ - dextran binding interaction, the role of which also factors significantly into mitigation of polysaccharide degradation [as demonstrated through gel permeation chromatography (GPC)]. Finally, we assess the transport of Dex-SPIONs through porous media, including examination of retention properties with respect to variances in ionic composition.

Abstract
Tea catechins are a group of flavonoids that show many bioactivities. Catechins have been extensively reported as a potential treatment for skin disorders, including skin cancers, acne, photoaging, cutaneous wounds, scars, alopecia, psoriasis, atopic dermatitis, and microbial infection. In particular, there has been an increasing interest in the discovery of cosmetic applications using catechins as the active ingredient because of their antioxidant and anti-aging activities. However, active molecules with limited lipophilicity have difficulty penetrating the skin barrier, resulting in low bioavailability. Nevertheless, topical application is a convenient method for delivering catechins into the skin. Nanomedicine offers an opportunity to improve the delivery efficiency of tea catechins and related compounds. The advantages of catechin-loaded nanocarriers for topical application include high catechin loading efficiency, sustained or prolonged release, increased catechin stability, improved bioavailability, and enhanced accumulation or targeting to the nidus. Further, various types of nanoparticles, including liposomes, niosomes, micelles, lipid-based nanoparticles, polymeric nanoparticles, liquid crystalline nanoparticles, and nanocrystals, have been employed for topical catechin delivery. These nanoparticles can improve catechin permeation via close skin contact, increased skin hydration, skin structure disorganization, and follicular uptake. In this review, we describe the catechin skin delivery approaches based on nanomedicine for treating skin disorders. We also provide an in-depth description of how nanoparticles effectively improve the skin absorption of tea catechins and related compounds, such as caffeine. Furthermore, we summarize the possible future applications and the limitations of nanocarriers for topical delivery at the end of this review article.

Abstract
Surface charge of biological and medical nanocarriers has been demonstrated to play an important role in cellular uptake. Owing to the unique physicochemical properties, charge-reversal delivery strategy has rapidly developed as a promising approach for drug delivery application, especially for cancer treatment. Charge-reversal nanocarriers are neutral/negatively charged at physiological conditions while could be triggered to positively charged by specific stimuli (i.e., pH, redox, ROS, enzyme, light or temperature) to achieve the prolonged blood circulation and enhanced tumor cellular uptake, thus to potentiate the antitumor effects of delivered therapeutic agents. In this review, we comprehensively summarized the recent advances of charge-reversal nanocarriers, including: (i) the effect of surface charge on cellular uptake; (ii) charge-conversion mechanisms responding to several specific stimuli; (iii) relation between the chemical structure and charge reversal activity; and (iv) polymeric materials that are commonly applied in the charge-reversal delivery systems.

Abstract
The steady improvement and optimization of transdermal permeation is a constant and challenging pharmaceutical task. In this study the influence of poly(lactide-co-glycolide) (PLGA) nanoparticles on the dermal permeation of the anti-inflammatory drug flufenamic acid (FFA) was investigated. For this aim, different vehicles under non-buffered and buffered conditions and different skin models (human heat separated epidermis and reconstructed human epidermis equivalents) were tested. Permeation experiments were performed using static Franz diffusion cells under infinite dosing conditions. Already the presence of drug-free nanoparticles increased drug permeation across the skin. Drug permeation was even enhanced when applying drug-loaded nanoparticles. In contrast, buffered vehicles with different pH values (pH 5.4–7.4) revealed the influence of the pH on the permeation of FFA. The change of the surrounding pH of the biodegradable nanoparticulate system was demonstrated and visualized using pH-sensitive fluorescent probes. While a potential contribution of hair follicles could be ruled out, our data suggest that the enhanced permeation of FFA through human skin in the presence of PLGA nanoparticles is mediated by a locally decreased pH during hydrolytic degradation of this polymer. This hypothesis is supported by the observation that skin permeation of the weak base caffeine was not affected.

Polysaccharide (PS) based nanoparticles (NP) are of great interest for biomedical applications. A key challenge in this regard is the functionalization of these nanomaterials. The aim of the present work was the development of reactive PS-NP that can be coupled with an amino group containing compounds under mild aqueous conditions. A series of cellulose phenyl carbonates (CPC) and xylan phenyl carbonates (XPC) with variable degrees of substitution (DS) was obtained by homogeneous synthesis. The preparation of PS-NP by self-assembling of these hydrophobic derivatives was studied comprehensively. While CPC mostly formed macroscopic aggregates, XPC formed well-defined spherical NP with diameters around 100 to 200 nm that showed a pronounced long-term stability in water against both particle aggregation as well as cleavage of phenyl carbonate moieties. Using an amino group functionalized dye it was demonstrated that the novel XPC-NP are reactive towards amines. A simple coupling procedure was established that enables direct functionalization of the reactive NP in an aqueous dispersion. Finally, it was demonstrated that dye functionalized XPC-NP are non-cytotoxic and can be employed in advanced biomedical applications.

Abstract
Encapsulation is currently considered as one the most valuable methods for preserving aromatic compounds or hiding odors, enhancing their thermal and oxidative stability, and expanding their food applications. Indeed, this current article was aimed to provide an overview regarding the encapsulation of plant bioactive compounds and the spray-drying and extrusion processes with a focused discussion regarding the encountered challenges for meat and meat product preservation. Furthermore, different ranges of carbohydrates as wall materials (carriers) besides the process conditions' effects on the encapsulation effectiveness and the particle size of the encapsulated bioactive compounds have been discussed. The encapsulation of these compounds ameliorates the quality of the stored meat products by further delaying in microflora growth and lipid/protein oxidation. Therefore, the innovative technologies for plant active compounds encapsulation offer a prospective alternative for natural preservation development in the meat industry.

Abstract
In recent years, starch nanoparticles (SNPs) have attracted growing attention due to their unique properties as a sustainable alternative to common nanomaterials since they are natural, renewable and biodegradable. SNPs can be obtained by the breakdown of starch granules through different techniques which include both physical and chemical methods. The final properties of the SNPs are strongly influenced by the synthesis method used as well as the operational conditions, where a controlled and monodispersed size is crucial for certain bioapplications. SNPs are considered to be a good vehicle to improve the controlled release of many bioactive compounds in different research fields due to their high biocompatibility, potential functionalization, and high surface/volume ratio. Their applications are frequently found in medicine, cosmetics, biotechnology, or the food industry, among others. Both the encapsulation properties as well as the releasing processes of the bioactive compounds are highly influenced by the size of the SNPs. In this review, a general description of the different types of SNPs (whole and hollow) synthesis methods is provided as well as on different techniques for encapsulating bioactive compounds, including direct and indirect methods, with application in several fields. Starches from different botanical sources and different bioactive compounds are compared with respect to the efficacy in vitro and in vivo. Applications and future research trends on SNPs synthesis have been included and discussed.

Abstract
Polysaccharides are the most abundant naturally available carbohydrate polymers; composed of monosaccharide units covalently connected together. Chitosan is the most widely used polysaccharides because of its exceptional biocompatibility, mucoadhesion, and chemical versatility. However, it suffers from a few drawbacks, e.g. poor mechanical properties and antibacterial activity for biomedical applications. Blending chitosan with natural or synthetic polymers may not merely improve its physicochemical and mechanical properties, but may also improve its bioactivity-induced properties. This review paper summarizes progress in chitosan blends with biodegradable polymers and polysaccharides and their biomedical applications. Blends of chitosan with alginate, starch, cellulose, pectin and dextran and their applications were particularly addressed. The critical and challenging aspects as well as the future ahead of the use of chitosan-based blends were eventually enlightened.

Abstract
In recent years, suitable bioactive materials coated nanoparticles have attracted substantial attention in the field of biomedical applications. The present study emphasizes experimental details for the synthesis of boiling rice starch extract (BRE) coated iron oxide nanoparticles (IONPs) to treat cancer by photoacoustic imaging (PAI)-guided chemo-photothermal therapy. The solvothermal method was used to synthesize IONPs. The physical immobilization method helps to coat BRE-loaded doxorubicin (DOX) molecules on the iron oxide surface. In vitro drug release was estimated in basic (pH 9.0), neutral (pH 7.2), and acidic (pH 4.5) media for varying time periods using ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy. The chemical and physical properties of the synthesized spherical BRE-IONPs were characterized using sophisticated analytical instrumentation. A magnetic saturation experiment was performed with BRE-IONPs for evaluating possible hyperthermia in targeted drug delivery. The biological activity of the synthesized BRE-IONPs was investigated by the 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyl tetrazolium bromide assay and acridine orange/propidium iodide fluorescence cell viability study. BRE-IONPs showed excellent photothermal stability, with a high photothermal conversion efficiency (η = 29.73%), biocompatible property, and high near-infrared region absorption for PAI-guided PTT treatment. This study will provide a better understanding of rice starch as a suitable bioactive coating material for possible theranostic applications.

Abstract
Increasing interest in bio-based polymers and fibers has led to the development of several alternatives to conventional plastics and fibers made of these materials. Biopolymer fibers can be made from renewable, environmentally friendly resources and can be fully biodegradable. Biogenic resources with a high content of carbohydrates such as starch-containing plants have huge potentials to substitute conventional synthetic plastics in a number of applications. Much literature is available on the production and modification of starch-based fibers and blends of starch with other polymers. Chemistry and structure–property relationships of starch show that it can be used as an attractive source of raw material which can be exploited for conversion into a number of high-value bio-based products. In this review, possible spinning techniques for the development of virgin starch or starch/polymer blend fibers and their products are discussed. Beneficiation of starch for the development of bio-based fibers can result in the sustainable replacement of oil-based high-value materials with cost-effective, environmentally friendly, and abundant products.

Abstract
Starch nanoparticles were prepared by citrate esterification and ultrasound treatment. With the increase of ultrasonic treatment time, the mean size and PDI of the particles decreased gradually, when the ultrasonic treatment time was 5 min, the prepared starch nanoparticles had a mean size and PDI of 352.8 nm and 0.292, respectively. X-ray diffraction (XRD) showed that the starch nanoparticles prepared by ultrasonic treatment for 5 min had an A-type crystalline structure and a crystallinity of 41.42%. The chitosan composite films were reinforced by esterified starch with different ultrasound treatment times, the results indicated that the addition of starch nanoparticles resulted in a significant increase in the mechanical properties of films. This study indicates that esterification and ultrasound treatment can be used to prepare starch nanoparticles with a higher crystallinity and higher efficiency, which will further promote the application of nanocomposite films in packaging applications.

Abstract
The protein corona on nano drug carriers is an important well-known biological issue that often induce biological incompatibility and screens the targeting molecules on the surfaces of carriers, therefore, the design of NPs with good protein corona-free property is highly desired and challenged. The natural polysaccharide has been demonstrated as one types of stealth materials after the functional group modification process, but the types and structures of their chains has never been considered. Here, we have designed five types of core-shell starch-coated poly (methyl methacrylate) nanoparticles and we found the starch coated NPs with low amylose content (<15%) could exhibit the excellent protein corona-free property without any modification and the starch with high amylose content coated NPs can also exhibit protein corona-free property after etherifying the surface of NPs to positive surface charge. Therefore, the combined impact of both low amylose content and positive surface charges by etherification modification of the starch can provide the excellent protein corona-free property for starch coated polymer NPs, that is very promising for highly efficient nano drug carries and marine coatings.

Abstract
PURPOSE The work was performed to investigate the feasibility of preparing ocular inserts loaded with Poly-ε-Caprolactone (PCL) nanoparticles as a sustained ocular delivery system. METHODS First, Atorvastatin Calcium-Poly-ε-Caprolactone (ATC-PCL) nanoparticles were prepared and characterized. Then, the optimized nanoparticles were loaded within inserts formulated with Methylcellulose (MC) and Polyvinyl Alcohol (PVA) by a solvent casting technique and evaluated physically, for in-vitro drug release profile. Finally, an in-vivo study was performed on the selected formulation to prove non-irritability and sustained ocular anti-inflammatory efficacy compared with free drug-loaded ocuserts. RESULTS The results revealed (ATC-PCL) nanoparticles prepared with 0.5% pluronic F127 were optimized with 181.72±3.6 nm particle size, 0.12±0.02 (PDI) analysis, -27.4± 0.69 mV zeta potential and 62.41%±4.7% entrapment efficiency. Nanoparticles loaded ocuserts manifested compatibility between drug and formulation polymers. Moreover, formulations complied with average weight 0.055±0.002 to 0.143±0.023 mg, and accepted pH. ATC-PCL nanoparticles loaded inserts prepared by 5% MC showed more sustained, prolonged in-vitro release over 24h. In-vivo study emphasized non-irritability, ocular anti-inflammatory effectiveness represented by smaller lid closure scores, and statistically significant lowering in PMN count after 3h. CONCLUSION These findings proposed a possibly simple, new and affordable price technique to prepare promising (ATC-PCL) nanoparticles loaded inserts to achieve sustained release with prolonged antiinflammatory efficacy.

Abstract
For the first time, hyperpolarized (HP) 129Xe NMR measurements are utilized to explore porous structures of porous starch (PS) successfully. Some micropores resided inside the mesopore walls of PS were detected by variable temperature (VT) HP 129Xe NMR, and the pore sizes of micropores were also estimated using the empirical relationship. Furthermore, the interconnectivity of pores was investigated in detail by two-dimensional (2D) exchange spectroscopy (EXSY). The exchange process of xenon from microporosity within pore walls to the free gas space was occurred at the mixing time of ≥12 ms at 173 K, which indicated the well interconnectivity between micropores and mesopores. This study not only exhibits a new approach for investigation of pores and hollows of PS, but also provides a better understanding of porous structures for rational design in adsorbing functional compounds.

Abstract
Empirical correlations have been developed to relate experimentally determined starch nanoparticle size obtained in a solvent–antisolvent precipitation process with key hydrodynamic parameters of a spinning disc reactor (SDR). Three different combinations of dimensionless groups including a conventional Reynolds number (Re), rotational Reynolds number (Reω) and Rossby number (Ro) have been applied in individual models for two disc surfaces (smooth and grooved) to represent operating variables affecting film flow such as liquid flowrate and disc rotational speed, whilst initial supersaturation (S) has been included to represent varying antisolvent concentrations. Model 1 featuring a combination of Re, Reω and S shows good agreement with the experimental data for both the grooved and smooth discs. For the grooved disc, Re has a greater impact on particle size, whereas Reω is more influential on the smooth disc surface, the difference likely being due to the passive mixing induced by the grooves irrespective of the magnitude of the disc speed. Supersaturation has little impact on particle size within the limited initial supersaturation range studied. Model 2 which characterises both flow rate and disc rotational speed through Ro alone and combined with Re was less accurate in predicting particle size due to several inherent limitations.

Abstract
Cross-linked potato starch (StMBA) and starch-g-polyacrylamide materials with a high content of natural polymer from 60 to 90 wt.% (St60–St90) were synthesized by double chemical-chemical modification (grafting and cross-linking). Eco-friendly starch absorbents were tested for removal of Cu2+ and Fe3+ from aqueous solutions. The characteristics of the obtained materials (Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), thermal analysis (TGA), X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) and laser scanning microscopy (LSM)) confirmed their diversity in terms of composition and structure. The effect of N,N’-Methylenebisacrylamide (MBA) and polyacrylamide (PAM) content in the starch graft copolymers, treatment time and concentration of metal ions on adsorption efficiency were investigated. The adsorption efficiency for StMBA was 14.0 mg Cu2+/g and 2.9 mg Fe3+/g, regardless of the initial concentration of ions, whereas for starch graft copolymer St60 it was 23.0 mg Cu2+/g and 21.2 mg Fe3+/g. Absorption of Fe(III) was persisted even after 2 days. Pseudo-second order model was used to investigate the adsorption mechanisms. It was found that in addition to the chemical adsorption of ions on the surface, there is sorption inside the polymer network and chelating mechanism may dominate. Satisfactory results were attributed to the adequate grafting of PAM onto starch, the ability to form complexes with metal cations and changes in material structure.

Abstract
Fungal infections are one of the major skin healthcare issues and cause significant morbidity. Ketoconazole (KC) as a broad-spectrum antifungal drug is widely used to treat skin fungal diseases. However, its therapeutic effects are limited by low concentration, short duration of drug efficacy in the skin and severe systemic toxicity. Here, the ketoconazole loaded Lecithins-Zein nanoparticles (KLZ-NPs) with core-shell structure were designed to resolve above problems. In vitro penetration test confirmed that the ketoconazole concentration of the KLZ-NPs group in the stratum corneum and deeper layers increased significantly (2.98-fold, 1.51-fold higher to free ketoconazole, respectively). Meanwhile, follicular closing technique showed the formed nanoparticles via follicle pathway into the skin had been significantly enhanced, and the results of the visual fluorescent images also confirmed it. Additionally, in the in vivo imaging experiment, the fluorescence intensity of the single applying of the DiR-LZ-NPs was higher than that of the thrice usage of the free DiR. More importantly, the results also indicated that the accumulation of nanoparticles in the liver and spleen was significantly reduced. Hence, Lecithins-Zein nanoparticles are a promising strategy to enhance the drug concentration, prolong efficacy and reduce systemic toxicity in the topical administration for antifungal treatment.

Abstract
2,3-Dialdehyde cellulose (DAC) was used as an efficient and low-toxicity crosslinker to prepare thin PVA/DAC hydrogel films designed for topical applications such as drug-loaded patches, wound dressings or cosmetic products. An optimization of hydrogel properties was achieved by the variation of two factors - the amount of crosslinker and the weight-average molecular weight (Mw) of the source PVA. The role of each factor to network parameters, mechanical, rheological and surface properties, hydrogel porosity and transdermal absorption is discussed. The best results were obtained for hydrogel films prepared using 0.25 wt% of DAC and PVA with Mw = 130 kDa, which had a high porosity and drug-loading capacity (high water content), mechanical properties allowing easy handling, best adherence to the skin from all tested samples and improved transdermal drug-delivery. Hydrogel films are biocompatible, show no cytotoxicity and have no negative impact on cell growth and morphology in their presence. Furthermore, hydrogels do not support cell migration and attachment to their surface, which should ensure easy removal of hydrogel patches even from wounded or damaged skin after use.

Abstract
Polysaccharide (PS) nanoparticles (NP) are fascinating materials that combine huge application potential with the unique beneficial features of natural biopolymers. Different types of PS-NP can be distinguished depending on the basic preparation principles (top-down vs bottom-up vs coating of nanomaterials) and the material from which they are obtained (native PS vs chemically modified PS derivatives vs nanocomposites). This review provides a comprehensive overview of an approach towards PS-NP that has gained rapidly increasing interest within the last decade; the nanoself-assembling of hydrophobic PS derivatives. This facile process is easy to perform and offers a broad structural diversity in terms of the PS backbone and the additional functionalities that can be introduced. Fundamental principles of different NP preparation techniques along with useful characterization methods are presented in this work. A comprehensive summary of PS-NP prepared by different techniques and with various PS backbones and types/amounts of hydrophobic substituents is given. The intention is to demonstrate how different parameters determine the size, size distribution, and zeta-potential of the particles. Moreover, application trends in biomedical areas are highlighted in which tailored functional PS-NP are evaluated and constantly developed further.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Starch nanoparticles have become among the most interesting nanovehicles for drug delivery because of their relatively easy synthesis, biocompatibility, and numerous botanical sources. Starch nanoparticles obtained from green bananas were cross-linked with citric acid and loaded with β-carotene. RESULTS Mean particle size, encapsulation efficiency, and β-carotene release in simulated gastric and intestinal fluids and food simulants were studied. Cross-linked nanoparticles showed higher loading efficiency and encapsulation capacity, indicating that they can accommodate more molecules than their unmodified counterparts, while mathematical models showed a diffusion of released β-carotene into food simulant media. CONCLUSIONS Cross-linked nanoparticles showed more controlled release under gastric conditions, mainly in the simulated intestinal fluid, indicating that they are suitable as vehicles for intestine-specific targeting. This controlled released was also observed in food simulants, with lower release values in the more aqueous simulants. © 2019 Society of Chemical Industry.

Abstract
The association of an active principle with a nanocarrier is known to improve its stability and protect it from external factors. Nevertheless, loading of nanoparticles with highly hydrophilic substances like caffeine remains a tricky issue. In the present study, inverse miniemulsion systems were successfully coupled to UV radiation to synthesize polymeric nanohydrogels for drug delivery. The proper choice of the continuous and dispersed phase chemical composition led to the entrapment of active principle into the miniemulsion droplets. Our confinement-based strategy enabled unprecedented caffeine encapsulation efficiency inside 100-nm particles. Dimensional, thermal, and spectroscopic characterizations were carried out to investigate both unloaded and loaded nanohydrogels. Furthermore, in vitro release studies evaluated caffeine release kinetics from nanohydrogels by means of dialysis tests. It was demonstrated that controlled and sustained release occurred within the first 50 hours. Experimental data were found to fit the Higuchi model suggesting that the active principle release is diffusion controlled.

Abstract
This review investigates the significant role polysaccharide particles play in functional drug delivery. The importance of these systems is due to the wide variety of polysaccharides and their natural source meaning that they can provide biocompatible and biodegradable systems with a range of both biological and chemical functionality valuable for drug delivery. This functionality includes protection and presentation of working therapeutics through avoidance of the reticuloendothelial system, stabilization of biomacromolecules and increasing the bioavailability of incorporated small molecule drugs. Transport of the therapeutic is also key to the utility of polysaccharide particles, moving drugs from the site of administration through mucosal binding and transport and using chemistry, size and receptor mediated drug targeting to specific tissues. This review also scrutinizes the methods of synthesizing and constructing functional polysaccharide particle drug delivery systems that maintain and extend the functionality of the natural polysaccharides.

Abstract
This review highlights in vitro drug dissolution/permeation methods available for topical and transdermal nanocarriers that have been designed to modulate the propensity of drug release, drug penetration into skin, and permeation into systemic circulation. Presently, a few of USFDA-approved in vitro dissolution/permeation methods are available for skin product testing with no specific application to nanocarriers. Researchers are largely utilizing the in-house dissolution/permeation testing methods of nanocarriers. These drug release and permeation methods are pending to be standardized. Their biorelevance with reference to in vivo plasma concentration-time profiles requires further exploration to enable translation of in vitro data for in vivo or clinical performance prediction.

Abstract
The interactions between the surfactants sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) and sodium dioctyl sulfosuccinate (AOT) and starch nanoparticles (SNPs) hydrophobically modified with the hydrophobic dye pyrene (Py-SNPs) were investigated in water by steady-state and time-resolved fluorescence. The Py-SNPs formed interparticulate aggregates in water, which were disrupted by adding SDS to the Py-SNP aqueous dispersions. SDS was found to interact with Py-SNPs at SDS concentrations that were close to 2 orders of magnitude lower than its critical micelle concentration (CMC). These interactions led to the breakup of the Py-SNP aggregates, which was confirmed by conducting fluorescence resonance energy transfer experiments between naphthalene-labeled SNPs (Np-SNPs) and Py-SNPs. By the time the SDS concentration reached the CMC of SDS, the Py-SNPs were separated from each other and excimer was generated from isolated Py-SNPs in the aqueous dispersions. Whereas SDS interacted with the Py-SNPs at SDS concentrations lower than CMC, SDS did not seem to target the hydrophobic pyrene aggregates. Only above the CMC did SDS appear to interact with the pyrene aggregates, as evidenced from diffusive pyrene excimer formation between excited and ground-state pyrenes. Most surprisingly, no interaction was observed between sodium dioctyl sulfosuccinate (AOT) and Py-SNP at AOT concentrations where SDS interacted with the Py-SNPs. This observation led to the conclusion that SDS below its CMC interacted not with hydrophobic pyrene aggregates but rather through the formation of inclusion complexes, which led to the electrostatic stabilization of individual Py-SNPs and enabled the breakup of Py-SNP aggregates. The formation of inclusion complexes with linear surfactants like SDS might thus provide a new means of stabilizing hydrophobically modified starch nanoparticles in water, which bears the promise of finding future applications.

Abstract
Abstract
Acrylamide/acrylic acid copolymers (AAm/AA) have been synthesized by microemulsion polymerization in absence and presence of trivalent cations Al+3 and Fe+3. Starch materials were obtained by introducing cations Al+3 and Fe+3, in the form of aqueous solutions of sulphates(VI) (modif. starch/Me+3), into the oxidized starch (modif. starch). The flocculation performance of obtained polyacrylamide copolymers and the one based on the natural polymer was compared with the performance of the commercial AAm/AA flocculant (CF). All materials were characterized by capillary viscometry, FTIR and DSC methods. An aqueous suspension of talc was used for the flocculation studies. The flocculation effectiveness was evaluated on the basis of reduction of suspension extinction and the sludge volume. It was found that synthesized AAm/AA/Me+3 copolymers and modif. starch/Me+3 materials exhibit better flocculation properties for a model talc suspension than a commercially available floculant.
