“…A biocompatible and biodegradable polymer-based scaffold provides superior mechanical and porous interconnected network, frame, and hierarchy structures with physiochemical properties for cell adhesion, proliferation, and cell-matrix interaction through the porous structures for tissue regeneration in TE. To date, most of the synthetic, natural materials and their composites have been explored for TE applications ( Arif et al, 20221081 ; Biswal, 2021 ). Several methods and approaches for constructing bio-mimetic scaffolds with control over structure, shape, pore size, porosity, and architectural style for TE application domains have been devised ( Turnbull et al, 2018 ; Kanwar and Vijayavenkataraman, 2021 ).…”

Over the past few decades, various bioactive material-based scaffolds were investigated and researchers across the globe are actively involved in establishing a potential state-of-the-art for bone tissue engineering applications, wherein several disciplines like clinical medicine, materials science, and biotechnology are involved. The present review article’s main aim is to focus on repairing and restoring bone tissue defects by enhancing the bioactivity of fabricated bone tissue scaffolds and providing a suitable microenvironment for the bone cells to fasten the healing process. It deals with the various surface modification strategies and smart composite materials development that are involved in the treatment of bone tissue defects. Orthopaedic researchers and clinicians constantly focus on developing strategies that can naturally imitate not only the bone tissue architecture but also its functional properties to modulate cellular behaviour to facilitate bridging, callus formation and osteogenesis at critical bone defects. This review summarizes the currently available polymeric composite matrices and the methods to improve their bioactivity for bone tissue regeneration effectively.

“…The use of synthetic polymers in food packaging [ 4 ] is one of the main causes of pollution in aquatic environments, including oceans, rivers, lakes, and agricultural irrigated lands [ 5 ]. At the same time, the presence of toxic ion metals harmful for human health in aqueous media requires the creation of new and efficient biodegradable sorbents based on natural polymers, which can decay after the end of their service life into the harmless substances [ 6 ].…”

The film binary composites polylactide (PLA)–chitosan and poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) (PHB)–chitosan have been fabricated and their functional characteristics, such as hydrolysis resistance, biodegradation in soil, and ion sorption behavior have been explored. It was established that hydrolysis temperature and acidity of solutions are differently affected by the weight loss of these two systems. Thus, in the HCl aqueous solutions, the stability of the PHB-chitosan composites is higher than the stability of the PLA-chitosan one, while the opposite situation was observed for biodegradation in soil. The sorption capacity of both composites to Fe3+ ions was investigated and it was shown that, for PHB-chitosan composites, the sorption is higher than for PLA-chitosan. It was established that kinetics of sorption obeys the pseudo-first-order equation and limiting values of sorption correspond to Henry’s Law formalism. By scanning electron microscopy (SEM), the comparative investigation of initial films and films containing sorbed ions was made and the change of films surface after Fe3+ sorption is demonstrated. The findings presented could open a new horizon in the implementation of novel functional biodegradable composites.

“…Poly(butylene succinate-co-adipate) (PBSA) is biodegradable, partially bio-based, and, according to the manufacturer’s specification, depending on the grade, it can be blown as films or injection-molded as rigid parts [ 14 ]. PBSA has exceptional potential as an alternative to LDPE in the aspect of mechanical properties [ 15 ] as well as its relatively higher electrical conductivity [ 16 ].…”

Electrostatic dissipative (ESD), anti-static (AS), and electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding materials are commonly based on commodity fossil-fuel-based plastics. This, in turn, contributes to ever-growing non-biodegradable plastic pollution. Graphene nanoplatelets (GN), multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT), nanostructured carbon black (NCB), and amorphous carbon black (CB) were utilized as nanofillers to prepare bio-based and biodegradable poly(butylene succinate-co-adipate) (PBSA) nanocomposites. Solvent-cast composites were prepared with 1.1 to 30.0 vol.% nanoparticle loading. The literature mainly focuses on relatively low loadings; therefore, for this research, filler loadings were increased up to 30 vol.% but the maximum loading for NCB and CB loadings only reached 17.4 vol.% due to a lack of dimensional stability at higher loadings. The composites were characterized using tensile testing, volumetric and surface conductivity measurements, thermal conductivity measurements, dielectric spectroscopy in the microwave region, and transmittance in the terahertz range. Tensile tests showed excellent carbon filler compatibility and enhanced tensile strength for loadings up to 5 vol.% (up to 20 vol.% for MWCNT). The highest thermal conductivity values were reached for the MWCNT filler, with the 30.0 vol.% filled composite reaching 0.756 W/mK (262% increase over PBSA). All fillers were able to produce composites that yielded volume conductivities above 10−10 S/m. Composites with MWCNT, GN, and NCB inclusions above the percolation threshold are suitable for EMI applications in the microwave and THz frequency range.
