Abstract

This article provides a comprehensive overview of the most recent developments in the study and creation of bionanocomposites, which find use in a variety of fields including tissue engineering, food packaging, cosmetics, electronic industries and biomedical applications. Renewable energy, low carbon footprints and biodegradability concerns have fuelled the emergence of biobased materials and enabled them to transition from market segment to high volume applications. Bionanocomposites can overcome the intrinsic disadvantages of some biobased plastics including their limited manufacturing window, inadequate barrier, conductivity, hydrophilicity, lower biocompatibility and relatively low deflection temperature. The first section of the paper examines the benefits and drawbacks of recent developments in the creation of biodegradable materials from resources that are renewable. The second section discusses different kinds of bionanocomposites relying on: cellulose, starch, polylactic acid and protein. Additionally, current developments in processing technological advances, product growth and applications are also presented in this review.
