Nanobiopolymers are sustainable and biodegradable compared to petroleum-based synthetic polymers. While synthetic polymer materials are the most used materials in recent times, they have brought serious problems affecting human health, environment and nature. Nanobiopolymers with unique structural properties resulting from nano-dimensional effects such as ultra-high aspect ratio and length-to-diameter ratio are produced by a variety of mechanical, chemical and synthetic biology techniques. These properties ensure their machinability. Nanobiopolymers, which are successfully produced from agriculture, nature, and forestry products such as cotton, wood, silk fibers, coconut, shrimp/crab shell, wheat, rice and potatoes, are used in a wide range of high-tech areas such as transparent display panels, while ultrafiltration membranes, energy storage devices and catalytic as supports. This section demonstrates the manufacturing techniques for producing nano biopolymers and then summarizes the most recently reported applications of nanobiopolymers for decontamination of environmental pollutants. © 2022 Elsevier Inc.
