Graphene Based Biopolymer Nanocomposites

Part of the book series: Composites Science and Technology ((CST))

Abstract

From last few years, researchers are paying more attention to fabricating graphene based biopolymer nanocomposites due to their extensive applications. Graphene is a 2D material that contains long chain of C atom. It is the most versatile material used to reinforce the properties of biopolymer nanocomposites. There are various methods used for the preparation of graphene based biopolymer nanocomposites. Nowadays, graphene is widely used very in the biomedical applications. Graphene and is derivatives such as graphene oxide (GO), reduced graphene oxide (rGO) and functionalized graphene oxide (FGO) are incorporated with different polymers in various applications. They would be more utilized in structural applications due to the hard, thin and tough behavior. They also improve the mechanical strength of biopolymers. GO is a stable or potential material suitable for various applications such as energy storage, aircraft components etc. It has excellent absorbing property than other nanoparticles. Graphene based biopolymers nanocomposites are used in the preparation of structural components of the materials. Graphene based biopolymer nanocomposites have unique property of degradation. Graphene based biopolymers have found its application in different packaging materials. This chapter aims to discuss the different structural applications of graphene based biopolymer nanocomposites. Graphene based biopolymer nanocomposites are used as an absorbent, energy storage material and drug delivery agents.
