Biobased Nanomaterials

Abstract

Biobased materials are goods whose primary ingredients were first taken from living things. The hybrid science known as nanobiotechnology, which was created by the fusion of the two potent technologies of nanotechnology and biotechnology, is a reflection of science’s expanding capacity to conduct research at scales higher than the molecular one and produce useful outcomes. The significance of all of them is shown in the large number of research articles on nanocomposites and bionanomaterials. Their naturally formed, biocompatible, biodegradable aqueous polymeric and benign substrates make them ideal for a wide range of biomedical applications. Certain tissues and living organisms are considered to be a representative example of a nanocomposite, which is the reason nanostructured materials are believed to play a significant role in biomedical research. Tissue engineering and implants as well as nanomedicine are two areas where nanobiotechnology is useful. Research and development in several fields of nanobiotechnology aims to provide extremely effective biosensors, nanoscale microchips, molecular switches, and tissue analogs for the skin, muscles, bones, and other human organs. Many biomedical applications, including innovative tissue engineering scaffolds, focused drug delivery systems, biosensors, etc., have been researched for metallic, ceramic, polymeric, and composite nanomaterials in-depth. Tissue engineering and health care cover the identification, management, and avoidance of diseases with a long-term objective of improving people’s quality of life by developing modern facilities materials and therapies based on scaffolds and drug delivery. The main objective of this review is to give the readers an overview of the application of bio-based nanomaterial.
