Nanocomposites with biodegradable polymers: synthesis, properties, and future perspectives

Polymers are used in practically every facet of daily life. Most polymers come from fossil fuels and are not biodegradable, causing long-term environmentalhazards. Biodegradable polymers provide an alternative, environmentally friendly class of materials. Composites of such polymers have high potential withina wide spectrum of applications.
