Nanocomposites from Recycled Waste Materials and Their Utilization in Biomedical Fields

Recycled waste-derived nanocomposites are gaining a lot of interest in the biomedical industry and other industrial sectors as an environmentally acceptable and sustainable substitute for conventional materials. The growing need for environmentally friendly materials has made it necessary to investigate novel strategies, such as synthesizing nanocomposite materials from recycled waste components. These materials have enormous potential to solve environmental issues related to waste buildup and to provide novel approaches to biomedical problems. Recycled waste materials such as cellulose, starch, chitosan, and vegetable oils are commonly utilized in nanocomposites to improve their mechanical qualities and biocompatibility. The adaptability of nanocomposites made from recycled waste materials across a range of biomedical applications, including drug administration, gene therapy, tissue engineering, and antibacterial activity, is highlighted by the discussion of several fabrication techniques. The use of nanocomposites made from recycled waste materials in biomedical sectors to solve environmental issues, develop sustainable solutions, and improve human health and well-being is highlighted in the chapter. This chapter covers an overview of the requirements for waste-derived nanocomposites, the kinds of recycled waste materials that are utilized, preparation techniques, and their biomedical applications.
