Biodegradable Polymers Nanocomposites

Biodegradable polymers exhibit shortcomings, including low thermal stability and electrical conductivity. These challenges limit the broad applications of several applications, such as electronic devices. They show suitable dielectric, thermal, and electrical conductivity compared to the biodegradable polymer alone. Several methods can improve biodegradable polymers' dielectric, thermal, and electric conductivity, including co-polymerization, blending and cross-linking with other polymers. Furthermore, the formation of nanocomposites seems to be the most effective method to improve the properties and performance of biodegradable polymers. This review summarized biodegradable polymers' dielectric, thermal, and electrical conductivity. Biodegradable polymers nanocomposites consisting of polymers blend, inorganic, and other nanomaterials were discussed.
