Abstract
Biomaterials and sustainable resources are two complementary terms supporting the development of new sustainable emerging processes. In this context, many interdisciplinary approaches including biomass waste valorization and proper usage of green technologies, etc., were brought forward to tackle future challenges pertaining to declining fossil resources, energy conservation, and related environmental issues. The implementation of these approaches impels its potential effect on the economy of particular countries and also reduces unnecessary overburden on the environment. This contribution aims to provide an overview of some of the most recent trends, challenges, and applications in the field of biomaterials derived from sustainable resources.
Highlights
The interplay between biomaterials and renewable resources has provided a window of opportunity for the development of novel sustainable emerging strategies within the past few years.Humans used biomaterials in ancient times without knowing it
The different techniques employed in the synthesis of biomaterials include thermal and/or hydrothermal synthesis or the use of surfactant-templates that allow a controllable design ofmaterial characteristics and properties [1]
Fe3 O4 nanoparticles into the networks using crude biomass watermelon such as a carbon source [5]. These 3-D gels exhibited a high chemical activity and robust mechanical properties providing a remarkable potential as a scaffold to synthesize 3-D composite materials useful for electrochemical applications
Summary
The interplay between biomaterials and renewable resources has provided a window of opportunity for the development of novel sustainable emerging strategies within the past few years. Humans used biomaterials in ancient times without knowing it. A great deal of attention has been paid to their development from sustainable resources driven by the need to develop increasingly more sustainable alternatives to traditional materials. The urgent need for sustainable energy development depends on the advancements of green technologies and increasingly on biocompatible materials with properties comparable to existing materials because they are the way toward a more sustainable future
