Abstract

Magnetic oxide nanoparticles have engaged most consideration due to their rare character, such as easy separation, surface-to- volume ratio, paramagnetic and high surface area. Natural biopolymers, namely, (Chitosan, Guar-Gum, Tamarind, Alginate, Dextran, Pectin) have posed as an incredible host for the preparation of magnetic nanoparticles. Biopolymer based magnetic nanocomposites have been fabricated from long time using method like co-precipitations, green synthesis, in-situ, hydrothermal and wet chemical method. Properties of biopolymer magnetic nanocomposites draw attention to the researchers towards fabricating at the nano level for various applications like as adsorptions inorganic metal, organic impurity, targeted drug-delivery, bio-sensing, catalysis activity, antimicrobial activity, antifungal activity, antioxidant activity, anti-cancer activity, energy, environmental remediation, waste water treatment and textiles. This review is designed to report very firstly reported biopolymer magnetic nanoparticles (BMNPs) in last ten years and attractive approach in various applications.
