Green synthesis of nanomaterials for smart biopolymer packaging: challenges and outlooks

Abstract There are several physical and chemical methods for synthesizing nanomaterials, while the most appropriate techniques involve using green chemistry eco-friendly material. Recently, synthesized materials different applications have gained attention as a result of their environmental friendliness cost-effectiveness. Applying nanoparticles (NPS) in food packaging has been extensively investigated. Biopolymers require filler to enhance optical, barrier, thermal, antimicrobial, mechanical properties packaging. Biopolymer incorporated with NPs is expected simultaneously performance reducing damage. The current review article focuses on biopolymer films bio (green)-synthesized nanomaterials effectiveness negative implications synthetic It also covers general concepts synthesis NPs, production methods, performance, characterization, discusses potential, recent developments bio-nanocomposite films/coatings biodegradable Recent reports trends provide more insight into impact Graphical
