“…CNTs have a larger surface area, excellent electrical conductivity, mechanical and thermal properties and they also have a higher volume-to-area ratio compared to that of other nanoparticles and they are widely used in various biomedical applications, environmental pollution control, sensing and detection, the automobile industry, and secondary food packaging. Direct contact food packaging materials are limited by their migration and potential toxicity [ 76 , 78 , 79 ].…”

In recent years, the demand for environmental sustainability has caused a great interest in finding novel polymer materials from natural resources that are both biodegradable and eco-friendly. Natural biodegradable polymers can displace the usage of petroleum-based synthetic polymers due to their renewability, low toxicity, low costs, biocompatibility, and biodegradability. The development of novel starch-based bionanocomposites with improved properties has drawn specific attention recently in many applications, including food, agriculture, packaging, environmental remediation, textile, cosmetic, pharmaceutical, and biomedical fields. This paper discusses starch-based nanocomposites, mainly with nanocellulose, chitin nanoparticles, nanoclay, and carbon-based materials, and their applications in the agriculture, packaging, biomedical, and environment fields. This paper also focused on the lifecycle analysis and degradation of various starch-based nanocomposites.
