Degradable Green Polymers, Green Nanopolymers and Green Nanocomposites Derived from Natural Systems: Statistics and Headways
Summary
This review summarizes advances in biodegradable green polymers and nanocomposites derived from natural sources, covering their properties, classification, and environmental benefits. Developing genuinely biodegradable alternatives to synthetic plastics is essential for reducing long-term microplastic accumulation in ecosystems.
Nowadays, actively researching and developing degradable green materials are efficient means to move towards the future advanced technologies and industries. In this article, we review the state of the art in important aspects of degradable green polymers especially green nanopolymers from natural sources and derived nanomaterials. Consequently, the fundamentals, cataloguing and properties of degradable green polymers or green nanopolymers obtained from natural resources have been presented. Green nanopolymers and derivative green nanocomposites are natural degradable materials. In this article, we also deliver numerous technological applications of the degradable green nanopolymers and derived materials such as transient electronics, film/coating and membrane/packaging, environmental protection and sustainability, and biomedical applications. The resulting green nanocomposites have been found effective to resolve current ecological issues. Moreover, the challenges and future of the natural degradable green nanopolymers and green nanocomposites have been investigated. However, the research and advancement of technical degradable materials with industrial and commercial applications yet have along way to go.
