Bio-based polyol polyesters are biodegradable elastomers having potential utility in soft tissue engineering. This class of polymers can serve a wide range of biomedical applications. Materials based on these polymers are inherently susceptible to degradation during the period of implantation. Factors that influence the physicochemical properties of polyol polyesters might be useful in achieving a balance between durability and biodegradability. The characterization of these polyol polyesters, together with recent comparative studies involving creative synthesis, mechanical testing, and degradation, have revealed many of their molecular-level differences. The impact of the polyol component on the properties of these bio-based polyesters and the optimal reaction conditions for their synthesis are only now beginning to be resolved. This review describes our current understanding of polyol polyester structural properties as well as a discussion of the more commonly used polyol monomers.

A novel approach was applied to synthesize silver nanoparticles using starch under sonication. Colloidal silver nanoparticles solution exhibited an increase of absorption from 420 to 440 nm with increase starch quantity. Transmission electron microscopy followed by selected area electron diffraction pattern analysis indicated the formation of spherical, polydispersed, amorphous, silver nanoparticles of diameter ranging from 23 to 97 nm with mean particle size of 45.6 nm. Selected area electron diffraction (SAED) confirmed partial crystalline and amorphous nature of silver nanoparticles. Silver nanoparticles synthesized in this manner can be used for synthesis of 2-aryl substituted benzimidazoles which have numerous biomedical applications. The optimized reaction conditions include 10 ml of 1 mM AgNO3, 25 mg starch, 11 pH range, and sonication for 20 min at room temperature.

Palladium nanoparticles (Pd NPs) showed great potential in biomedical applications because of their unique physicochemical properties. Various conventional physical and chemical methods have been used for the synthesis of Pd NPs. However, these methods include the use of hazardous reagents and reaction conditions, which may be toxic to health and to the environment. Thus, eco-friendly, rapid, and economic approaches for the synthesis of Pd NPs have been developed. Bacteria, fungi, yeast, seaweeds, plants, and plant extracts were used to prepare Pd NPs. This review highlights the most recent studies for the biosynthesis of Pd NPs, factors controlling their synthesis, and their potential biomedical applications.

The controllable synthesis of special shape of nanoparticles with uniform size was most important for some special applications. In this work, we prepared silver nanocubes by Na2S-mediated polyol synthesis using AgNO3 as precursor, polyvinyl pyrrolidine(PVP) as capping agent and ethylene glycol(EG) as solvent and reductant under the protection of Ar characterized by SEM, UV-vis, DLS and Zeta potential. Silver nanocubes were successfully controllably obtained via optimizing the reaction conditions, such as the rate of Ar initially after 50 min pre-heating and subsequently after the addition of AgNO3 solution,the volume of 3 mM Na2S solution. The results showed that silver nanocubes with edge length of 50 nm and sharp corners were achieved at 230μL 3mM Na2S solution added under a Ar rate of 1000 ml/min.

Various metal (iron, copper, zinc, platinum)-based nanostructures were synthesized by a simple, green, and one-pot reaction of respective metal precursor and a cucurbit[7]uril (CB7) in an aqueous alkaline mixture at room temperature. The metal nanostructures (MNS) were obtained without adding any additional traditional reducing or protecting agents and/or external energy sources. Further, we could be able to tune the size and shape of the MNS just by varying the experimental conditions such as reaction concentration. Depending on the metal salts and reaction conditions, we could be able to produce different sizes and shapes of nanostructures. For example, the diameter of the CuO and iron nanoparticles (NP) was observed as [Formula: see text][Formula: see text]nm (even [Formula: see text][Formula: see text]nm) which suggests the inclusion mechanism. However, the particle size of zinc and platinum was over 2[Formula: see text]nm which suggests the capping mechanism for the well-dispersed nanoparticles. It is worth mentioning that the CB7 acts as both reducing and protecting agent for the preparation of various MNS at ambient conditions. This one-pot and green approach for the preparation of MNS in aqueous solution has various advantages due to its mild synthesis condition and no toxic materials were used or produced, which is an important aspect for the exploration of biomedical applications and environmental influence of several metal nanoparticles that are presently prepared in organic solvents.

Gold nanoclusters are small (1–3 nm) nanoparticles with a high surface area that are useful for biomedical studies and drug delivery. The synthesis of small, surface-functionalized gold nanoclusters is greatly dependent on the reaction conditions. Here, we describe a straightforward, efficient and robust room temperature one-pot synthesis of 2 nm gold nanoclusters using thioglucose as a reducing and stabilizing agent, which was discovered by serendipity. The resultant monodisperse gold nanoclusters are more stable than those generated using some other common methods. The carboxylic acid contained in the stabilizing agent on the cluster surface serves as anchor for nanocluster functionalization. Alternatively, the addition of thiols serves to functionalize the nanoclusters. The resulting non-cytotoxic nanoclusters are taken up by cells and constitute a tuneable platform for biomedical applications including drug delivery.
