ABSTRACT
In the realm of environmentally conscious materials science, the integration of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) with biodegradable polymers to form innovative nanocomposites has sparked notable discourse and research. This review delves comprehensively into the synthesis, properties, and environmental implications of said AgNPs/biodegradable polymer nanocomposites. Leveraging the unique physicochemical attributes of silver nanoparticles, these nanocomposites are portrayed as promising platforms for delivery, sensing, and antimicrobial applications. The nanocomposites made of AgNPs with biodegradable polymers, however, extend beyond utility, demonstrating a commitment to minimizing ecological impact. Contrary to traditional non-degradable polymers that litter our environments and oceans, these green alternatives yield lesser waste, reduce energy use, and limit the emission of volatile organic compounds, thereby aligning with global efforts towards sustainability. Our review strives to substantiate the environmental viability of these nanocomposites, whilst elaborating on their diverse commercial potential.
