Abstract
Membrane technology is an efficient way to purify water, but it generates non-biodegradable biohazardous waste. This waste ends up in landfills, incinerators, or microplastics, threatening the environment. To address this, research is being conducted to develop compostable alternatives that are sustainable and ecofriendly. Bioplastics, which are expected to capture 40% of the market share by 2030, represent one such alternative. This review examines the feasibility of using synthetic biodegradable materials beyond cellulose and chitosan for water treatment, considering cost, carbon footprint, and stability in mechanical, thermal, and chemical environments. Although biodegradable membranes have the potential to close the recycling loop, challenges such as brittleness and water stability limit their use in membrane applications. The review suggests approaches to tackle these issues and highlights recent advances in the field of biodegradable membranes for water purification. The end-of-life perspective of these materials is also discussed, as their recyclability and compostability are critical factors in reducing the environmental impact of membrane technology. This review underscores the need to develop sustainable alternatives to conventional membrane materials and suggests that biodegradable membranes have great potential to address this challenge.

Abstract
Nowadays, membrane technology is an efficient process for separating compounds with minimal structural abrasion; however, the manufacture of membranes still has several drawbacks to being profitable and competitive commercially under an environmentally friendly approach. In this sense, this review focuses on bio-based polymeric membranes as an alternative to solve the environmental concern caused by the use of polymeric materials of fossil origin. The fabrication of bio-based polymeric membranes is explained through a general description of elements such as the selection of bio-based polymers, the preparation methods, the usefulness of additives, the search for green solvents, and the characterization of the membranes. The advantages and disadvantages of bio-based polymeric membranes are discussed, and the application of bio-based membranes to recover organic and inorganic contaminants is also discussed.

Abstract
Composites of polylactide containing graphite nanoplates as a filler in the concentration range 1–20 wt% were prepared in methylene chloride using the sonication technique. The thermal characteristics and phase transitions were studied by DSC and TGA methods. The temperatures and heats of glass transition, crystallization, and melting were determined, and the degree of crystallinity during primary and secondary heating was calculated. It is shown that the introduction of graphite nanoplates leads to an increase in the elastic modulus and a decrease in the breaking stress and elongation at break. These changes are especially pronounced at 20% GNP content in the composition, when the corresponding mechanical parameters are characteristics of brittle polymer systems. The study of the electrical properties of the composites showed that the percolation threshold in these materials is close to 7 wt%, which is significantly lower than in the case of spherical particles of comparable density. The SEM study of the filled composites showed a system of pores, which were apparently formed during the evaporation of solvent in the process of their preparation. Diverse structures of PLA/GNP composites films after hot pressure were established by the SEM method.

Abstract
The progression of plastic pollution is a global concern. "Reuse, reduce and recycle" offers a solution to the burdening issue, although not enough to curb the rampant use of plastics. Biodegradable plastics are gaining acceptability in agriculture and food packaging industries; nevertheless, they occupy a rather small section of the plastic market. This review summarizes recent advances in the development of biodegradable plastics and their safe degradation potentials. Here, biodegradable plastics have been categorized and technology and developments in the field of biopolymers, their applicability, degradation and role in sustainable development has been reviewed. Also, the use of natural polymers with improved mechanical and physical properties that brings them at par with their counterparts has been discussed. Biodegradable polymers add value to the industries that would help in achieving sustainable development and consequently reinforce green economy, reducing the burden of greenhouse gases in the environment and valorisation of waste biomass.

Abstract
Many types of polymer nanofibers have been introduced as artificial extracellular matrices. Their controllable properties, such as wettability, surface charge, transparency, elasticity, porosity and surface to volume proportion, have attracted much attention. Moreover, functionalizing polymers with other bioactive components could enable the engineering of microenvironments to host cells for regenerative medical applications. In the current brief review, we focus on the most recently cited electrospun nanofibrous polymeric scaffolds and divide them into five main categories: natural polymer-natural polymer composite, natural polymer-synthetic polymer composite, synthetic polymer-synthetic polymer composite, crosslinked polymers and reinforced polymers with inorganic materials. Then, we focus on their physiochemical, biological and mechanical features and discussed the capability and efficiency of the nanofibrous scaffolds to function as the extracellular matrix to support cellular function.

Abstract
There is a huge interest in developing novel hollow fiber (HF) membranes able to modulate neural differentiation to produce in vitro blood-brain barrier (BBB) models for biomedical and pharmaceutical research, due to the low cell-inductive properties of the polymer HFs used in current BBB models. In this work, poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL) and composite PCL/graphene (PCL/G) HF membranes were prepared by phase inversion and were characterized in terms of mechanical, electrical, morphological, chemical, and mass transport properties. The presence of graphene in PCL/G membranes enlarged the pore size and the water flux and presented significantly higher electrical conductivity than PCL HFs. A biocompatibility assay showed that PCL/G HFs significantly increased C6 cells adhesion and differentiation towards astrocytes, which may be attributed to their higher electrical conductivity in comparison to PCL HFs. On the other hand, PCL/G membranes produced a cytotoxic effect on the endothelial cell line HUVEC presumably related with a higher production of intracellular reactive oxygen species induced by the nanomaterial in this particular cell line. These results prove the potential of PCL HF membranes to grow endothelial cells and PCL/G HF membranes to differentiate astrocytes, the two characteristic cell types that could develop in vitro BBB models in future 3D co-culture systems.

Abstract
It was shown for the first time that the conditions of thermal treatment of the casting solution significantly affect the morphology and transport properties of porous, flat, and hollow fiber polysulfone (PSf) membranes. It is ascertained that the main solution components that are subjected to thermo-oxidative destruction are the pore-forming agent polyethylene glycol (PEG) and solvent N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone (NMP). It is proved that hydroxyl groups of PEG actively react in the process of the casting solution thermo-oxidative destruction. It is shown that despite the chemical conversion taking place in the casting solution, their stability towards coagulation virtually does not change. The differences in the membrane morphology associated with the increase of thermal treatment time at 120 °C are not connected to the thermodynamic properties of the casting solutions, but with the kinetics of the phase separation. It is revealed that the change of morphology and transport properties of membranes is connected with the increase of the casting solution viscosity. The rise of solution viscosity resulted in the slowdown of the phase separation and formation of a more densely packed membrane structure with less pronounced macropores. It is determined experimentally that with the increase of casting solution thermal treatment time, the membrane selective layer thickness increases. This leads to the decrease of gas permeance and the rise of the He/CO2 selectivity for flat and hollow fiber membranes. In the case of hollow fibers, the fall of gas permeance is also connected with the appearance of the sponge-like layer at the outer surface of membranes. The increase of selectivity and decline of permeance indicates the reduction of selective layer pore size and its densification, which agrees well with the calculation results of the average membrane density. The results obtained are relevant to any polymeric casting solution containing NMP and/or PEG and treated at temperatures above 60 °C.

Abstract
This article presents a novel procedure for preparing porous membranes from water-soluble polymers involving the formation of a Pickering emulsion. Gelatin is a biodegradable biopolymer obtained by the partial hydrolysis of collagen. A biopolymer such as gelatin is capable of adsorbing at an oil/water interface, resulting in decreased interfacial energy. Hence, gelatin is widely employed as an alternate for synthetic surfactants to stabilize emulsions in the food industry. However, high-molecular-weight gelatin leads to large emulsion droplets and poor emulsion stability. The amphoteric nature of graphene oxide (GO) nanosheets was helpful in stabilizing the oil/water interface and allows for the preparation of a stable gelatin/GO emulsion. Membranes fabricated using gelatin/GO have a uniformly distributed porous structure. However, prepared membranes are highly hydrosoluble, so the membranes were cross-linked without affecting their morphology. XRD results evidenced that gelatin effectively exfoliated the graphite oxide which is essential to stabilizing the emulsion. Fabricated gelatin/GO membranes possess uniformly distributed pores and are highly stable in aqueous solution. Pure water filtration tests were conducted on the membranes. The permeability results proved that the membranes fabricated by a Pickering emulsion are promising materials for filtration.

Abstract
The porous polymer foams act as a template for neotissuegenesis in tissue engineering, and, as a reservoir for cell transplants such as pancreatic islets while simultaneously providing a functional interface with the host body. The fabrication of foams with the controlled shape, size and pore structure is of prime importance in various bioengineering applications. To this end, here we demonstrate a thermally induced phase separation (TIPS) based facile process for the fabrication of polymer foams with a controlled architecture. The setup comprises of a metallic template bar (T), a metallic conducting block (C) and a non-metallic reservoir tube (R), connected in sequence T-C-R. The process hereinafter termed as Dip TIPS, involves the dipping of the T-bar into a polymer solution, followed by filling of the R-tube with a freezing mixture to induce the phase separation of a polymer solution in the immediate vicinity of T-bar; Subsequent free-drying or freeze-extraction steps produced the polymer foams. An easy exchange of the T-bar of a spherical or rectangular shape allowed the fabrication of tubular, open- capsular and flat-sheet shaped foams. A mere change in the quenching time produced the foams with a thickness ranging from hundreds of microns to several millimeters. And, the pore size was conveniently controlled by varying either the polymer concentration or the quenching temperature. Subsequent in vivo studies in brown Norway rats for 4-weeks demonstrated the guided cell infiltration and homogenous cell distribution through the polymer matrix, without any fibrous capsule and necrotic core. In conclusion, the results show the "Dip TIPS" as a facile and adaptable process for the fabrication of anisotropic channeled porous polymer foams of various shapes and sizes for potential applications in tissue engineering, cell transplantation and other related fields.

Abstract
Abstract
Melt strength of polylactic acid (PLA) was improved through various modifications including grafting, crosslinking, chain extension, blending, plasticizing and nucleation. The results showed that melt strength was increased, to varying degrees, by crosslinking, chain extension and blending. In addition, melt strain (detected by velocity) was increased by chain extension, blending with elastomer, and plasticizing, but was decreased by crosslinking. The molecular weights, thermal properties and viscosity of the modified PLAs were also studied to investigate the causes of the observed variations in melt strength. Viscosity results generally corresponded with that of melt strength, but not with that of melt strain. With the exception of plasticizing and nucleation, the modifications had no significant effect on the thermal properties of PLA. The molecular weight (in particular the extremely large molecules representing by Mz) and the polydispersity of PLA were significantly increased after crosslinking and chain extension, which accounts for the observed increase in melt strength.
