Article Abstract
Cellulose blended hyperbranched polyester (CHP) and hyperbranched cellulose polyester (HPC) were synthesized by melt condensation method using 2,2-bis (methylol) propionic acid and p-TSA. Obtained polymers were utilized for the preparation of various donepezil loaded thinfilm (CHPF, HPCF) and nanofibers (CHPN, HPCN) using solvent casting and electrospinning technique respectively. Formulated thinfilms and nanofibers were subjected to thermal analysis and microscopic evaluations. Compared with thinfilm formulations, hyperbranched nanofiber has shown lower particle size about 50-100 nm. This might be helped in releasing 98% of drug in the span of 10 min in in vitro studies for HPCN 4 formulation. Further investigation of in vivo bioavailability studies, peak plasma concentration was observed at 3 to 3.5 h for HPCN formulation. Hyperbranched cellulose formulations (HPCN 4) have significantly higher absorption (AUC 0-∞) (1294.1 ± 5.4 ng/mL) than cellulose blended hyperbranched polymer formulations (876.1 ± 6.1 ng/mL). These studies revealed that the hyperbranched nanofiber formulations possess high mechanical strength and good drug release properties. Current study concludes prepared Hyperbranched cellulose nanofiber will be good alternative for commercially available dosage forms for the treatment of Alzheimer's diseases.

Lignin is a promising dispersant due to its hyperbranched polymer structure, low cost, renewability and abundant availability. However, its use is limited by its broad molecular weight distribution, inhomogeneity, and low content of hydrophilic functional groups. In this work, lignin was functionalized with alkaline amino acids (EHL-AA) to enhance water solubility and molecular weight uniformity.

Article Synopsis
- The use of bio-based materials like polylactic acid (PLA) can help conserve fossil resources and cut carbon emissions, but PLA's limited toughness has hindered its industrial use.
- Researchers synthesized a hyperbranched polyester (MCC-EHBP) to enhance the compatibility and toughness of PLA when blended with bio-based polyamide 11 (PA11).
- The resulting PLA/PA11/MCC-EHBP blend significantly improved mechanical properties with tensile and impact strength increases of 36.9% and 241.7%, and also raised the decomposition temperature and activation energy of PLA, indicating better heat resistance.

Article Synopsis
- Cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) are biodegradable and compatible materials that can be modified to improve drug delivery systems, making them effective carriers for medications.
- The researchers grafted glycidyl onto CNCs to create hyperbranched polymers, which enhanced cell uptake, and then developed a pH-responsive nano-delivery system using specific monomers (VB and PEGMA) through a unique polymerization method.
- This new system, CNCs-VB-PEGMA, was capable of loading curcumin at a high rate and showed promising results in targeting and killing liver cancer cells in both 2D and 3D models.

Solar-powered interfacial evaporation is a developing and sustainable technique increasingly utilized in desalination and wastewater purification. This technology involves the creation of cellulose nanofiber (CNF)/polylactic acid (PLA) composite aerogels through the Pickering emulsion approach. Self-floating aero-hydrogel (E-VGP) with a hierarchical porous structure was formed on a viscous mixture containing polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), peach gum polysaccharide (PGP), and polypyrrole (PPy) via an in-situ polymerization process.
