Abstract

This review provides a comprehensive analysis of the chemical properties and emerging applications of biopolymer composites. Biopolymers, derived from renewable resources, have gained significant attention due to their environmental benefits, but their mechanical and thermal properties often require enhancement for broader applications. The integration of various fillers and reinforcing agents into biopolymers has led to the development of biopolymer composites with improved properties. This review examines the chemical interactions between biopolymers and composite materials, highlighting advancements in biopolymer-based composites in fields such as packaging, biomedical devices, and environmental sustainability. The potential challenges and future directions for research in biopolymer composites are also discussed.
