The government authorities across Received in revised form the globe and experts mentioned that the dumping of plastic waste and non-biodegradable materials is a 21 May 2018 principal problem of the environmental pollution. In their numerous chemical forms, cellulose and Accepted 28 May 2018 Available online 2 June 2018 various other biodegradable materials can be possible alternatives to resolve these challenging issues. This review article is an effort to combine the recent developments, concerns and prospective applica- tions of environmentally friendly nano- with micro-structured polymeric materials such as chitin, starch, Keywords: Green materials polycaprolactone and nanocellulose. Nanocellulose has been considered as one of the most important Biopolymers biopolymers having significant advancements in research and their application in the various fields. Cellulose Herein, cellulose-based materials for engineering and interdisciplinary applications, comprising ap- Nanocellulose proaches for the transformation of cellulose to nanocellulose, and the fabrication method for their blends Biodegradable materials and composites have been reviewed. Moreover, the structural-functional relationship, the thermo- mechanical properties of starch, poly (Lactic) acid, polycaprolactone, lignin and some of their compos- ite and potential applications of these materials in various fields of engineering have been elaborated. © 2018 The Authors.

Introduction and reused, huge ranges of these types of materials completely turn out in the form of landfill [2,3]. Consequently, progressive The prevailing development in polymeric composites applica- biosphere issues parallelled the growth and development of ver- tions is gaining momentum around the world [1e3]. The satile barrier bio-based product packaging materials as a reason- extraordinary features of innovative polymeric composites and able alternative when dealing with these materials [2]. Together, their establishment with existing environmentally friendly the lack of fossil fuel energy sources and the raised costs of crude analytical techniques adduce considerable triumph to improve the oil have heightened the worldwide interest in bio-based materials era of environmental research [2,3].
