Abstract
Synthetic polymers and their composites are excellently suited to numerous applications, but their overexploitation has caused environmental pollution. Therefore, the need to replace them with sustainable and biodegradable materials is a critical issue that needs to be addressed urgently in order to reduce pollution. Natural polymers such as cellulose, starch, proteins, chitosan, and polylactic acid are promising alternatives to synthetic polymers since they are abundant, cost-effective, biodegradable, and exhibit good mechanical and thermal properties. However, the fabrication of these natural polymers into long-lasting goods is challenging due to their poor mechanical and thermal stability and excellent water absorption properties. Thus, the fabrication of composites of these bio-polymers represents an ever-intriguing research area for material scientists to achieve thermally stable bio-nanocomposites with low water absorption and enhanced mechanical properties. This chapter focuses on the synthesis methodologies of bio-nanocomposites and their mechanical and thermal properties.
