Progress in green nanocomposites for high-performance applications

This is the authors' abstract. We don't add key points for this paper.

Green or eco-friendly materials have been considered as next-generation contenders for lightweight, inexpensive, sustainable, environment-friendly, and high-efficiency nanocomposites. Various types of natural and synthetic green polymers and green nanofillers have been employed to form sustainable materials. Green polymeric nanocomposites incarnate exclusive properties of both the sustainable polymer and eco-reinforcement. The eco-friendly nanofiller reinforced green nanocomposites have found applications in automotive, energy, packaging, and biomedical applications. This review systematically speaks to the concepts and features of eco-polymer, eco-nanofillers, and green nanocomposites. In addition to the technical applications, trends, challenges, and future prospects of green nanocomposites have also been discussed.
