“…For example, polylactic acid (PLA), a hydrophobic and thermally stable aliphatic polyester that biodegrades into non-toxic natural lactic acid, has been widely used in biomedical applications. PLA can be used alone or in combination with other small molecules or polymers for cartilage and joint regeneration [ 24 , 25 ], drug delivery and release [ 26 , 27 ], wound healing [ 28 , 29 ] and other therapies [ 30 , 31 , 32 , 33 , 34 , 35 , 36 ]. Other biodegradable polymers, including poly(lactide-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA), poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA), poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL), poly(glycolic acid) (PGA), poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) (PHB), poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) and PPC ( Figure 1 ) [ 37 , 38 , 39 ], have also been applied in healthcare.…”

Poly(propylene carbonate) (PPC) is an emerging “carbon fixation” polymer that holds the potential to become a “biomaterial of choice” in healthcare owing to its good biocompatibility, tunable biodegradability and safe degradation products. However, the commercialization and wide application of PPC as a biomedical material are still hindered by its narrow processing temperature range, poor mechanical properties and hydrophobic nature. Over recent decades, several physical, chemical and biological modifications of PPC have been achieved by introducing biocompatible polymers, inorganic ions or small molecules, which can endow PPC with better cytocompatibility and desirable biodegradability, and thus enable various applications. Indeed, a variety of PPC-based degradable materials have been used in medical applications including medical masks, surgical gowns, drug carriers, wound dressings, implants and scaffolds. In this review, the molecular structure, catalysts for synthesis, properties and modifications of PPC are discussed. Recent biomedical applications of PPC-based biomaterials are highlighted and summarized.

“… 143 Likewise, the association of carbon nanotubes and PLA blends have demonstrated potential for food packaging applications. For example, Yakduomi et al (2022) 144 enhanced PLA film's barrier properties, mechanical strength (increment of Young's Modulus by 815%), antibacterial and antifungal activities by incorporating polydopamine-wrapped carbon nanotubes and TiO 2 NPs. Another study reinforced PLA films with functionalized carbon nanotubes (fMWCNT), revealing a remarkable improvement in Young's Modulus (up to 50%) and a 20% increase in crystallinity, compared to neat PLA.…”

“…The PLA film alone did not exhibit any inherent antimicrobial activity against S. aureus, P. aeruginosa, and S. epidermidis . However, when combined with MWCNTs or functionalized MWCNTs, the PLA significantly augmented its antibacterial property ( Yakdoumi et al, 2022 ).…”

Nanocomposites, formed by combining a matrix (commonly polymer or ceramic) with nanofillers (nano-sized inclusions like nanoparticles or nanofibers), possess distinct attributes attributed to their composition. Their unique physicochemical properties and interaction capabilities with microbial cells position them as a promising avenue for infectious disease treatment. The escalating prevalence of multi-drug resistant bacteria intensifies the need for alternative solutions. Traditional approaches involve antimicrobial agents like antibiotics, antivirals, and antifungals, targeting specific microbial aspects. This review presents a comprehensive overview of diverse nanocomposite types and highlights the potential of tailored matrix and antibacterial agent selection within nanocomposites to enhance treatment efficacy and decrease antibiotic resistance risks. Challenges such as toxicity, safety, and scalability in clinical applications are also acknowledged. Ultimately, the convergence of nanotechnology and infectious disease research offers the prospect of enhanced therapeutic strategies, envisioning a future wherein advanced materials revolutionize the landscape of medical treatment.
