Nanoparticles (NPs) have been studied for a wide variety of applications, due to the elevated surface area and outstanding properties. Several types of NPs are available nowadays, each one with particular characteristics and challenges. Bionanocomposites, especially composed by polymer matrices, are gaining attention in the biomedical field. Although, several studies have shown the potential of adding NPs into these materials, some investigation is still needed until their clinical use for in vivo application is consummated. Besides that, is essential to evaluate whether the addition of nanoparticles changes the matrix property. In this review, we summarize the latest advances concerning polymeric bionanocomposites incorporated with organic (polymeric, cellulosic, carbon-based), and inorganic (metallic, magnetics, and metal oxide) NPs.

由于表面积增加和优异的性能，纳米颗粒 (NPs) 已被研究用于广泛的应用。现在有几种类型的 NP，每一种都有特定的特征和挑战。生物纳米复合材料，尤其是由聚合物基质组成的复合材料，在生物医学领域越来越受到关注。尽管有几项研究表明在这些材料中添加 NPs 的潜力，但仍需要进行一些调查，直到它们在体内临床使用申请完成。除此之外，评估纳米粒子的添加是否会改变基质特性也是必不可少的。在这篇综述中，我们总结了与有机（聚合物、纤维素、碳基）和无机（金属、磁性和金属氧化物）纳米颗粒结合的聚合物生物纳米复合材料的最新进展。
