Abstract
Novel nanocomposites were recently made by combining organic biopolymers and nanoscopic inorganic particles on a molecular scale. The new nanocomposites have increased mechanical and barrier properties and offer major opportunities in advanced biomédical applications since they are biodegradable and biocompatible. The nanotechnology challenge is to learn from nature and to create optimized nanocomposite materials.
