Abstract

The breakthrough and rapid developments of nanotechnologies has become one of the significant technological advances in every sector especially in biomedical sectors (Kim et al. 2018; Müller et al. 2017). Among these nanotechnologies, polymer-based nanocomposites (NCs) are the most famous one owing to the unique properties of nanomaterials. It can be defined as a mixture of two or more-phase materials forming solids where one or more dispersed phase is in nanoscale and a polymeric major phase (Müller et al. 2017). Polymer-based NCs could be synthesized with the combination of polymers and inorganic/organic nanoparticles which have obtained extensive research due of its distinctive physiochemical properties, outstanding mechanical strength and their high surface-to-volume ratio.
