            Abstract

            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 a long way to go.
