Biopolymer-based nanocomposites represent a promising approach for drug delivery systems, particularly in the fields of antimicrobial and anticancer therapies. This study explores the development of various biopolymer nanocomposites incorporating bioactive agents, assessing their efficacy and release profiles. The nanocomposites were synthesized using techniques such as solvent casting and electrospinning, allowing for the incorporation of drugs and other bioactive compounds into the biopolymer matrix. Characterization methods, including Fouriertransform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and in vitro drug release studies, were employed to evaluate their physical, chemical, and biological properties. Results demonstrated enhanced drug loading capacities, controlled release rates, and significant antimicrobial and anticancer activities. These findings suggest that biopolymer-based nanocomposites can be engineered to effectively deliver therapeutic agents, providing a sustainable and innovative strategy for modern drug delivery systems.
