Abstract
The use of polymeric composite materials from renewable biomass has acquired great importance in different and varied fields. Moreover, its application in the biomedical applications has found a fast development in recent years. In this context, this chapter is focused on the use of biocomposites in tissue engineering and analytical applications. The studied materials include polysaccharides such as chitosan, cellulose, and alginate, as well as polyhydroxyalcanoates as matrixes, and fillers like nanoparticles, carbon nanotubes or polymers, among other combinations.
