TLDR Biopolymeric composites need advanced properties for better use in medicine and healing.
The review from 2021 discussed advancements in biopolymeric composite materials for tissue engineering and regenerative medicine, emphasizing their eco-friendly, renewable, and biodegradable nature. These materials were explored for applications in drug delivery, wound healing, and tissue engineering, particularly for bone and skin regeneration. Despite their benefits, challenges such as lower mechanical performance compared to synthetic polymers were noted, with potential solutions including grafting and blending. The integration of nanotechnology and 3D printing was highlighted to enhance functionality and effectiveness. The review underscored the need for further research to address technical and manufacturing challenges for broader biomedical applications.
