Abstract
For the past decade, the high entropy concept has become a major research interest for both industries and academia, attributed to the high entropy mixing effect, which allows any material composition to attain structures with unique and attractive properties as opposed to conventional materials. Bionanocomposites as high entropy alloys are biomaterials comprising at least five or more biopolymers as the matrix and inorganic solids as the reinforcement in the nanoscale. These materials are potential alternatives to replace nondegradable waste plastic, which are currently of environmental concern due to their toxic nature and unhealthy method of disposal. The bionanocomposites can be applied in cosmetics, food packaging, electronics, textile, bone and tissue engineering, automobile, and water purification industries. Therefore, this study discusses the recent advances in research on the high entropy concept as composites, nanocomposites and bionanocomposites and their relative applications as potential replacements to waste plastics alongside the prospects and general outlook of high entropy alloys.
