urrently, renewable and biodegradable bionanocomposites materials have
drawn much attention as promising green materials in different domains
of application such as intelligent food packaging, biomedical and drug delivery,
bio-membranes as well as in industrial composting applications for the final
end product use. The present review deals with the advances in the preparation
methods and technical applications of these biocomposites. Different
biomass materials obtained from renewable resources such as nanocellulose,
and date stones in nanoform developed to be used as smart reinforcing agent
in biodegradable biopolymers for improving their overall properties. However,
some drawbacks are associated with the use of lignocellulosic materials as
reinforcing agent, especially their high humidity absorption, poor wettability,
and incompatible with most biopolymers. Thus, novel processing techniques
and different aspects have been proposed for producing high performance
lignocellulosic reinforced materials with better properties. On the other hand,
facial and green modification of organoclay by antibacterial natural rosin and
stearic acid to obtain toxicity-free expanded organoclay that can be used as
compatibilizing and reinforcingmaterial for different incompatible biopolymers
such as chitosan, carboxy methyl cellulose (CMC) and polylactic acid (PLA)
polycabrolactone are deeply investigated. Therefore, many chemical and
physical properties for these materials are discussed in detail. Ultimately, the
future vision on the challenges and the environmental issues towards CO2
emission which associated to the risk assessment of these bionanomaterials
are also discussed.
