The fabrication of biodegradable nanocomposites involves several steps:
Synthesis of Nanoparticles: Nanoparticles are synthesized using methods such as chemical vapor deposition, sol-gel process, or hydrothermal synthesis. Polymer Matrix Preparation: The biodegradable polymer matrix is prepared, often using natural polymers like starch, chitosan, or synthetic polymers like polylactic acid (PLA). Composite Formation: The nanoparticles are dispersed within the polymer matrix using techniques such as melt blending, solution casting, or in-situ polymerization.
