Abstract
Abstract:
Green polymer nanocomposites referred to as completely biodegradable, renewable, environmentally
friendly, and benign materials, have received a surge of attention to promote sustainable
development. Polymer nanocomposites, where nanomaterials are used for reinforcement, possess a
large interfacial area per volume, and the intervals between the filler nanoparticles and polymer matrix
are significantly short. Molecular interactions between the filler particles and the matrix, therefore,
provide polymer nanocomposites with novel characteristics that ordinary polymers or conventional
macrocomposites do not possess. However, nanoparticles, nanotubes, nanofilms, nanofibers,
nanoflakes, etc., in the form of nanocomposites may cause serious health hazards and pollute the
environment severely. While the number of review articles on fundamental and applied research
work of polymer nanocomposites is noteworthy, this review focuses more in depth on the applications
of safe and green polymer nanocomposites in the automotive and packaging industries. The
particular focus has been to examine and investigate in detail the initial and contemporaneous trends,
status, and perspectives of green and safe polymer nanocomposites in the automotive and packaging
industries. Background characteristics, strengths, weaknesses, potentiality, prospects, and opportunities
of green polymer nanocomposites suitable for automotive and packaging industries have been
addressed. The ultimate goal is to have a profound understanding of the structure-property relationship
of green polymer nanocomposites to overcome existing limitations for automotive and packaging
applications.
