Natural and synthetic polymers are a versatile platform for developing biomaterials in the biomedical environmental fields. organic compounds that found nature. The most common natural include polysaccharides, such as alginate, hyaluronic acid, starch, proteins, e.g., collagen, silk, fibrin, bacterial polyesters. have already been applied numerous sectors, carriers drug delivery, tissue engineering, stem cell morphogenesis, wound healing, regenerative medicine, food packaging, etc. Various polymers, including poly(lactic acid), poly(acrylic poly(vinyl alcohol), polyethylene glycol, etc., biocompatible biodegradable; therefore, they studied controlled release systems, nano-carriers, dispersion of biofilms, gene delivery bio-ink 3D-printing, textiles agriculture, heavy metals removal, packaging. In following review, recent advancements polymer chemistry, which enable imparting specific functions will be discussed detail, antiviral, anticancer, antimicrobial activities. This work contains authors’ experimental contributions to applications. review is vast overview used fields, synthesis, isolation methods, critically assessessing their advantages, limitations, prospects.

Plastics, due to their varied properties, find use in different sectors such as agriculture, packaging, pharmaceuticals, textiles, and construction, mention a few. Excessive of plastics results lot plastic waste buildup. Poorly managed (as shown by heaps on dumpsites, free spaces, along roads, marine systems) the landfills, are just fraction environment. A complete picture should include micro nano-plastics (MNPs) hydrosphere, biosphere, lithosphere, atmosphere, current extreme weather conditions (which effects climate change), wear tear, other factors promote MNP formation. MNPs pose threat environment more than pristine counterparts. This review highlights entry occurrence primary secondary soil, water air, together with aging. Furthermore, uptake internalization, plants, animals, humans discussed, toxicity effects. Finally, future perspective conclusion given.

Soil ecosystems are under considerable pressure due to anthropogenic factors, including microplastics (MPs) pollution and drought. However, little is known about the interactive effects of MPs drought on soil organisms, especially micro-food web. We conducted a microcosm experiment with (including two types sizes MPs) investigate their interaction microbial, protist, nematode communities in found that significantly decreased complexity stability web, greater negative biodegradable smaller-sized than conventional larger-sized MPs. Drought had web non-MPs soils while increasing soils. increased proportion correlations between bacteria fungi decreasing protists nematodes Our study reveals may alleviate by reducing competition among lower trophic levels higher
