Abstract
This section provides definitions of nanocomposite hydrogels and the advantage of developing biomaterials based on starch. Justifications for the use of starch in the manufacture of nanocomposite hydrogels are presented, as well as characterization methods for biomedical applications. Next, ways to improve the properties of pure starch hydrogels through the addition of nanocomposites are discussed and some methodologies that are already being applied are also mentioned. We also discuss briefly the biomedical applications of starch-based nanocomposite hydrogels for drug delivery, wound dressing, and tissue engineering. Finally, we conclude by showing a brief perspective of future needs in the development of new starch-based nanocomposite hydrogels.
