Recent Development of Chitosan Nanocomposites with Multiple Potential Uses

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Eco-friendly Polymer Nanocomposites

Part of the book series: Advanced Structured Materials ((STRUCTMAT,volume 74))

Abstract

This chapter reviews an actual relevant literature about the most important methods used in the processing of chitosan nanocomposites, which are based on most extensively used biodegradable polymer matrices. A particular attention has been focused on the biodegradable polymer chitosan because of their widespread use in the bionanocomposite films field. Thus, the processing procedures and the results obtained of various applications from chitosan nanocomposite films have been compiled. The current research trends in chitosan-based material films for applications, including biodegradable composites and the use of chitosan are presented. This chapter will increase the interest of researchers in chitosan-based chitosan nanocomposites and the development of new ideas in this field.
