ABSTRACT
The ongoing progress in the development of biopolymeric nanocomposite hydrogels (NCHs) has been an area of active research in the field of biomedical applications especially in drug delivery and tissue engineering. New development in nanotechnology has emphasized the diverse use of NCHs and gained much attention in the biomedical and pharmaceutical industry due to their remarkable properties at the nanoscale level. the novelties of the discovery of NCHs comprise new methodologies toward the fabrication and modification of hydrogels by using various nanofillers with plan polymeric hydrogel matrices. This chapter focuses on biodegradable polymer-based NCHs and also gives an insight into the advancement of biodegradable polymeric NCHs for biomedical applications.
