Abstract
Biodegradable polymers and their nanocomposites (NCs)-based layered double hydroxides (LDHs) reveal attractive behaviors and great potential applications to encounter with modern society requests concerning biological materials, energy, health care, information technologies, etc. In the recent decade, many research studies have been assigned to inspect the ability of LDH and polymer NC based on LDH. This chapter critically introduces new results on bionanocomposite materials derived from the LDH and combined with diverse types of biopolymers such as polysaccharides, poly(vinyl alcohol), and poly(lactic acid) and discusses the recent advancement in environmental, medical, agricultural, and industrial fields. The LDHs are almost unique materials and able to host materials in the anionic form, thereby nicely completing the studies accomplished on the appropriateness of cationic clays to host cationic or neutral drugs.
