Agro-industrial wastes to be a global concern since agriculture and industrial processes are growing exponentially with the fast increase of the world population. Biopolymers are complex molecules produced by living organisms, but also found in many wastes or derived from wastes. The main drawbacks for the use of polymers are the high costs of the polymer purification processes from waste and the scale-up in the case of biopolymer production by microorganisms. However, the use of biopolymers at industrial scale for the development of products with high added value, such as food or biomedical products, not only can compensate the primary costs of biopolymer production, but also improve local economies and environmental sustainability. The present review describes some of the most relevant aspects related to the synthesis of hybrid materials and nanocomposites based on biopolymers for the development of products with high-added value.
农业和工业生产随着世界人口的快速增长呈指数级增长，因此农业工业废物成为了一个全球性的问题。生物聚合物是由生物体产生的复杂分子，但也存在于许多废物中或由废物衍生而来。聚合物使用的主要缺点是从废物中纯化聚合物的成本高，以及在微生物生产生物聚合物的情况下扩大规模的难度大。然而，在工业规模上使用生物聚合物来开发高附加值产品，如食品或生物医学产品，不仅可以弥补生物聚合物生产的初始成本，还可以改善当地经济和环境的可持续性。本综述描述了一些与基于生物聚合物的混合材料和纳米复合材料的合成相关的最相关方面，用于开发高附加值产品。
