Review Description

This review reports recent advances in the field of biopolymeric composites and nanocomposites for potential biomedical applications. These materials have attracted both academic and, for several composites, industrial attention because they exhibit properties required in the biomedical field. Herein, the structure, preparation and properties of biopolymeric composite blends are discussed in general, and detailed examples are also drawn from the scientific literature and practical work. In this review the most common natural polymers collagen, chitosan and their composites and nanocomposites with inorganic particles are discussed. © 2016 Society of Chemical Industry.
