Description
Summary:Conducting polymer composites (CPCs) have been versatily utilized in actualizing advanced devices such as supercapacitors, biosensors, photovoltaic cells, batteries, catalysts, chemical sensors, and so on. Conducting polymer nanocomposites (CPNCs) are derived from hybridization of intrinsically conductive polymers (CPs) with inorganic entities thereby fabricating multifunctional materials with enhanced performances. Conducting polymer bionanocomposites (CPBs) are electrically conducting biocomposites derived from mixing of CPs with biopolymers such as proteins, cellulose, guar-gums, chitosan, chitin, gelatin, and so on, resulting in emancipation of CBs for use in biomedical, agricultural and food engineering due to attainment of biocompatibility, biodegradability, and electrical conductivity. Therefore, this paper presents recently emerging trends in synthesis, characterization, and properties of CP composites, nanocomposites, bionanocomposites, and applications.
