Biopolymer nanocomposites have emerged as a promising strategy for the dual delivery of antimicrobial and anticancer agents due to their biocompatibility, biodegradability, and multifunctional properties. This study investigates the synthesis, characterization, and biological efficacy of various biopolymer nanocomposites incorporating antimicrobial agents and anticancer drugs. Characterization techniques such as Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and in vitro drug release studies were employed to evaluate the structural and morphological properties of the nanocomposites. The results indicated high drug loading capacities, controlled release kinetics, and significant antimicrobial and anticancer activities. The biopolymer nanocomposites demonstrated potential as effective dual-function drug delivery systems, paving the way for innovative therapeutic strategies in biomedical applications.
