Chronic kidney disease (CKD) impacts around 10% of the global population and is expected to be one of the leading causes of death by 2040. Around 70% of patients with renal diseases need long-term hemodialysis (HD), while 30% require transplantation. The prolonged HD therapy can lead to severe side effects related to the membrane’s biocompatibility and the interactions of blood components with the membrane material. Recent advancements in material science and chemical engineering have led to the development of hemodialysis polymeric membranes with improved surface characteristics and hemocompatibility. These innovations also involve selectivity, durability and new production technologies. This review discusses the main challenges in membrane fabrication and explores strategies for enhancing membrane performance. It examines the improvement of hemodialysis efficiency while minimizing the possible side effects through the surface modification of membranes and introducing additives (blending methods). Both surface-modified membranes and blended ones efficiently remove toxins and reject proteins. However, surface-modified membranes exhibit lower values of pure water flux (50-300 L/m2/h) than those modified by introducing additives (145-500 L/m2/h). It indicates that polymers modified by blending are less prone to the proteins’ adhesion on the membrane surface. These advancements have the potential to enhance patient outcomes in hemodialysis therapy.

Chitin, with its dense crystal structure, presents a formidable challenge in bioprocessing due to its insolubility in various solvents. To address this issue, researchers have devised two primary strategies to overcome this hurdle. The first involves pretreated chitin to loosen its structure and reduce its crystallinity, such as ionic liquids, deep eutectic solvents, KOH/urea, ultrasound, steam explosion, etc. This allows enzymes to have more contact sites with chitin, thereby improving the efficiency of the enzyme reaction. The second aspect is the use of biotechnology to modify chitin-active enzymes, containing optimization of the fermentation conditions, directed evolution strategies, enzyme immobilization, etc., to increase their activity on chitin crystals. This article provides references for improving the activity of chitin deacetylases or chitinases and the biotransformation of chitin into chitosan and chitin oligosaccharides through comments on the above two aspects.

The research of copolymerization of ethylene with polar monomers catalyzed by group 4 metal complexes has gain substantial achievement, and the functional polyolefins, produced through the various structures of the catalysts and polar monomers, have already shown their unique applications in multiple fields. There are kinds of effective strategies to improve copolymerization activity and polar monomers incorporation: the structures of group 4 catalysts have been expanded from metallocenes to half-metallocenes and non-metallocenes; the new cocatalysts and catalytic systems have been developed; polar monomers are pretreated by masking agents; the functional groups of polar monomers have been largely enriched. In this review, the copolymerization of ethylene with polar monomers catalyzed by group 4 metal complexes are concluded and compared, and we are looking forward to summarizing the relationship between structure and reactivity of catalysts and providing advice for the design of catalysts. Moreover, the properties and potential applications of polar functionalized polyolefins are introduced.
