Green Biopolymers and their Nanocomposites

Part of the book series: Materials Horizons: From Nature to Nanomaterials ((MHFNN))

Abstract

The threat of in-appropriate discard of polymer to the environment can be tackled by using a suitable biodegradable polymeric material like the polysaccharide. Materials of various mechanical and thermal properties based on the need can be synthesized by using polysaccharide reinforced with compatible nanostructures. These types of composites can be a potential alternative for the conventional materials. The nanocomposites made from biopolymer are having the advantages such as good reinforcing capacity, high specific mechanical strength, less energy consumption, high strength for its weight ratio and good biodegradability over conventional inorganic filler materials. Reinforcing with polysaccharide nanoparticles has many advantages such as good compatibility which poses them as ideal materials in the processing stages of nano-polymer composites for medicinal applications. The properties like biocompatibility and antimicrobial properties are very well used in the fields of biomedicine. The nanocomposites are finding immense applications in electrical, electronic and mechanical fields, based on their physical properties. This chapter summarizes current knowledge on polysaccharides, nanocomposite preparation using various methods, different types of nanocomposites, properties of nanocomposites based on the structure and their applications.
