Abstract:

Zinc oxide nanoparticles have engaged most meditation due to their rare character, such as easy separation, surface-to-volume ratio, paramagnetic and high surface area. Natural biopolymers, namely, (Alginate, Chitosan, Dextran, Cellulose, Guar-Gum, Tamarind, and Pectin have posed as an incredible host for the synthesis of zinc oxide nanoparticles. Zinc oxide nanocomposites made of biopolymers have been created for a long time employing techniques including in-situ, ex-situ, co-precipitations, and green synthesis. Researchers are interested in fabricating biopolymer zinc oxide nanocomposites at the nanoscale for a variety of applications, including targeted drug delivery, sensor activity, catalysis activity, anticancer activity, antimicrobial activity, antifungal activity, antioxidant activity, and adsorption of inorganic/organic impurities. This review is designed to the report very firstly reported biopolymer zinc oxide nanocomposites (BZNCs) in last some areas and attractive approach in numerous applications.
