Abstract
The search for eco-friendly and renewable resources endowed with high stability and low toxicity has directed researchers around the globe to focus their attention on biomaterials, namely, biopolymers, which reduce the pollution caused by the rise in synthetic material-mediated pollution. As investment and research into biopolymers increases, several conventional material utilities are reduced in various optoelectrical, biological, and technological applications. Biopolymers in conjunction with nanotechnology have opened up novel and extremely useful arenas for their applications, namely, in the biomedical, energy sector, etc. This chapter is envisioned to outline the significant status of biopolymers as a promising engineering material employed in various fields. In addition, future challenges and perspectives are also discussed in detail.
