Fabrication of polymer nanocomposites for antibacterial and antimicrobial applications represent a quite promising type of therapeutics for fighting microbial and bacterial infections. This review include the discussion of different nanoparticles (TiO2, MgO, ZrO2 and Fe3O4), polymers (PVA, PEG and PVP) and polymer nanocomposites for antibacterial and antimicrobial applications. The polymer nanocomposites for previous studies have good antibacterial and antimicrobial activities with low cost, and high activity.

  • Bionanoscience attempts to harness various functions of biological macromolecules and integrate them with engineering for technological applications. It is based on a bottom-up approach and encompasses structural biology, biomacromolecular engineering, material science, and engineering, extending the horizon of material science. The journal aims at publication of (i) Letters (ii) Reviews (3) Concepts (4) Rapid communications (5) Research papers (6) Book reviews (7) Conference announcements in the interface between chemistry, physics, biology, material science, and technology. The use of biological macromolecules as sensors, biomaterials, information storage devices, biomolecular arrays, molecular machines is significantly increasing. The traditional disciplines of chemistry, physics, and biology are overlapping and coalescing with nanoscale science and technology. Currently research in this area is scattered in different journals and this journal seeks to bring them under a single umbrella to ensure highest quality peer-reviewed research for rapid dissemination in areas that are in the forefront of science and technology which is witnessing phenomenal and accelerated growth.
