Abstract
Bio-nanocomposites are leading materials that leverage the strengths of nanotechnology with sustainable, bio-based polymers and present a greener option for traditional composites. These are composites that comprise nanoscale fillers in the form of nanoparticles, nanofibers, and nanotubes, and bio-based matrices of starch, cellulose, and proteins. These are stronger in terms of mechanical, thermal, and barrier properties, and their green profile remains unscathed. Bio-nanocomposites present opportunities to answer global sustainability questions such as decreasing dependence on petroleum-based plastics, energy efficiency, and promoting the circular economy by combining green chemistry and nanotechnology. This chapter addresses synthesis routes, properties, characterization techniques, performance, and different applications in packaging, automotive, electronics, and agriculture. It also addresses future research directions to design the properties of bio-nanocomposites for large-scale commercialization.
