During the last decades, rising environmental concerns about the widespread usage of petroleum-based synthetic compounds and assorted chemicals has posed a challenge in mitigating these in an environmentally benign and sustainable manner; thus, naturally occurring polymers have emerged as the most suited candidates for their different properties, availability, etc. Many recent literature works have established the use of various kinds of natural polymers (cellulose, chitin, starch, and alginate) to fabricate materials for wastewater treatment, i.e. pollution mitigation. Augmenting the thermo-mechanical–chemical longevity of these materials by incorporating organic and inorganic additives is a crucial focus area. The utilization of nanotechnology has become integral in many sectors; the extended advancement in this domain has led to the emergence of the tailored natural polymers. This review aims to provide some insight into the need for these engineered nanocomposites polymers, their classification, manufacturing methods, and also endeavoured to illuminate the application of these nanopolymers in environmental remediation as a useful eco-friendly sustainable tool for the mitigation of these emerging pollutants.

在过去的几十年中，越来越多的人担心环境因素对石油基合成化合物和各种化学药品的广泛使用提出了挑战，需要以对环境无害和可持续的方式缓解这些问题；因此，天然存在的聚合物因其不同的性质，可利用性等而成为最合适的候选者。许多最新的文献工作已经建立了使用各种天然聚合物（纤维素，甲壳质，淀粉和藻酸盐）制造废水材料的用途。处理，即减轻污染。通过加入有机和无机添加剂来提高这些材料的热机械化学寿命是至关重要的重点领域。纳米技术的利用已在许多领域不可或缺。在这一领域的扩展进步导致了量身定制的天然聚合物的出现。这篇综述旨在提供对这些工程化纳米复合聚合物的需求，其分类，制造方法的一些见解，并努力阐明这些纳米聚合物在环境修复中的应用，作为缓解这些新兴污染物的有用的生态友好型可持续性工具。 。
