• Although fossil fuel based polymers are useful in many ways, their raw materials are limited and they, undoubtedly, pollute our environment. The use of biopolymers and their nano-structured counterparts is one of the strategies to curb the problems of feedstock shortage and to create an eco-friendly environment. Furthermore, these biomaterials with their versatile properties provide much more and are found useful in many fields of science and technology, such as therapeutic drug delivery, cancer therapy, in enhancing mechanical properties of the biocomposites to mention a few.
