ABSTRACT
Recently, the words “nano-biocomposites” or “biopolymer nanocomposites” are most frequently observed in green environmental research studies. The synthetic polymers have been widely used in a various application of nanocomposites. However, they become a major source of waste after use due to their poor biodegradability. Also, most of the synthetic polymers are not biocompatibe in vivo and/or in vitro environments. Hence, scientists were interested to biopolymers as biodegradable materials [1]. Later, several groups of natural biopolymers such as polysaccharide, proteins, and nucleic acids were used as a substitute for synthetic polymers in various applications [2]. Nevertheless, the use of these materials has been limited due to relatively poor mechanical properties. Therefore, tremendous efforts have been made to improve the properties of biopolymers as a matrix using of reinforcing agents [3].
