Biomedical nanocomposites, which are an upcoming breed of mischievous materials, have ushered in a new dimension in the healthcare sector. Incorporating these materials tends to boost features this component already possesses and give might to things these components could not withstand alone. The biopolymer, which carries the nanoparticles, can simultaneously improve the composite's stiffness and biological characteristics, and vice versa. This increases the options of the composite and the number of times it can be used. The bio-nanocomposites and nanoparticles enable the ecocompatibility of the medicine in their biodegradability, and they, in this way, have ecological sustainability. The outcome is the improved properties of medicine and its associated positive impact on the environment. They have broad applications in antimicrobial agents, drug carriers, tissue regeneration, wound care, dentistry, bioimaging, and bone filler, among others. The dissertation on the elements of bio-nanocomposites emphasizes production techniques, their diverse applications in medicine, match-up issues, and future-boasting prospects in the bio-nanocomposites field. Through the utilization of such materials, scientists can develop more suitable for the environment and healthy biomedical solutions, and world healthcare in this way improves as well. Highlights Bio-nanocomposite composition explores the combination of natural biopolymers with nanoscale fillers. These materials have enhanced mechanical strength, thermal stability, and biocompatibility, making them ideal for tissue engineering, drug delivery, and diagnostic imaging. Their biodegradability and non-toxic nature minimize environmental impact, making them a game-changer in sustainable biomedical advancements. Acknowledges potential issues and the need for further research to ensure compatibility with biological systems. These materials can be easily tailored to specific requirements, enabling personalized medicine and targeted therapies.
