“…Compatibilizing additives are highly needed in the vast majority of cases to enhance compatibility between the components in various plastic and rubber composites and blends [ [1] , [2] , [3] , [4] , [5] , [6] , [7] , [8] , [9] , [10] , [11] ]. More advantageous mechanical, thermal and rheological properties can be achieved through compatibilization in a composite due to the improved interactions and solubility during product development, whether it concerns original or waste raw materials [ [12] , [13] , [14] , [15] , [16] , [17] ].…”

“…Biopolymers can be divided into three categories: nature-derived, chemically produced, and microbial biopolymers [ 28 , 29 ]. Renewability, biocompatibility, environmental compatibility, biodegradability, and antimicrobial activity are only a few of the impressive interrelated biological, physical, and chemical characteristics of biopolymers [ 29 , 30 ]. Reactive functional groups such as carbonyl, amide, carboxyl, and hydroxyl are present in the skeleton of biopolymers, which make them suitable for wastewater treatment [ 31 ].…”

Essential for human development, water is increasingly polluted by diverse anthropogenic activities, containing contaminants like organic dyes, acids, antibiotics, inorganic salts, and heavy metals. Conventional methods fall short, prompting the exploration of advanced, cost-effective remediation. Recent research focuses on sustainable adsorption, with nano-modifications enhancing adsorbent efficacy against persistent waterborne pollutants. This review delves into recent advancements (2020–2023) in sustainable biopolymeric nanocomposites, spotlighting the applications of biopolymers like chitosan in wastewater remediation, particularly as adsorbents and filtration membranes along with their mechanism. The advantages and drawbacks of various biopolymers have also been discussed along with their modification in synthesizing biopolymeric nanocomposites by combining the benefits of biodegradable polymers and nanomaterials for enhanced physiochemical and mechanical properties for their application in wastewater treatment. The important functions of biopolymeric nanocomposites by adsorbing, removing, and selectively targeting contaminants, contributing to the purification and sustainable management of water resources, have also been elaborated on. Furthermore, it outlines the reusability and current challenges for the further exploration of biopolymers in this burgeoning field for environmental applications.

Polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) is known to exhibit limitations in terms of thermal stability. Its susceptibility to thermal degradation, particularly when exposed to high temperatures, can hinder its performance in various applications. This study addresses the thermal stability limitations of Polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) by exploring strategies to enhance its performance through blending with biodegradable polymers. Focusing on the PHB-pectin blend, computational simulations unveil a remarkable 346.92 K increase in the glass transition temperature (Tg), surpassing pure PHB. This elevation indicates strong intermolecular interactions, potentially involving hydrogen bonding, leading to a more rigid and thermally stable polymer system. The heightened Tg has practical implications for critical applications, such as automotive components and electronic devices, where resistance to elevated temperatures is essential. Emphasizing environmental benefits, the study highlights the use of biodegradable and bio-based polymers as eco-friendly alternatives to traditional plastics, contributing to reduced plastic waste. Overall, this research underscores the potential of thermally stable polymers to both enhance material performance and address environmental concerns across diverse industries.
