Abstract

Recently, comingling of natural fibers (NFs) derived from renewable resources, and nanoparticles with synthetic and biopolymeric matrices has resulted in fabrication of NF biocomposites, nanobiocomposites, and bionanocomposites (NFB). The quests to inculcate biomedical behavior to these materials have resulted in immobilization of biomolecules such as bioactive peptides, plant extracts/essential oils, ligands, enzymes, and so on, via varying techniques, within these materials, to attain antibacterial, anticancerous, antispasmotic, antidiabetic, anticough, antiviral, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antiarthritic, analgesic, antibiotic, antiatherogenic, antiulcer, antipyretic, immunomodulatory, as well as, chemo-preventive behaviors suitable for drug delivery and biomedicals. Therefore, this article presents a general overview of novel trends in fabricating NFB for biomedical applications with emphasis on varying approaches of immobilizing bioactive molecules, as well as chemically and physically affiliated modification techniques enhancing the fabrication of polymeric textiles biocomposites, nanobiocomposites, and bionanocomposites.

摘要

最近，源自可再生资源的天然纤维 (NFs) 和纳米颗粒与合成和生物聚合物基质的混合导致了 NF 生物复合材料、纳米生物复合材料和生物纳米复合材料 (NFB) 的制造。对这些材料灌输生物医学行为的探索导致生物分子的固定化，如生物活性肽、植物提取物/精油、配体、酶等，通过不同的技术，在这些材料中，获得抗菌、抗癌、抗痉挛、抗糖尿病、止咳、抗病毒、抗炎、抗氧化、抗关节炎、镇痛、抗生素、抗动脉粥样硬化、抗溃疡、解热、免疫调节，以及适合药物输送和生物医学的化学预防行为。所以，
