Abstract

for engineered systems. Advanced composites, including polysaccharide-polysaccharide hybrids and polysaccharide-based metal-organic frameworks, are highlighted for their potential in treating complex radioactive waste streams. Future perspectives focus on multifunctional material design, regeneration efficiency, and scalability to advance polysaccharide-based adsorbents toward practical nuclear waste management applications.
