Polymer nanocomposites (PNCs) are strengthened by including nanoparticles at a nanoscale. Due to their extraordinary properties, the two-dimensional nanomaterials of 2D are increasingly being regarded as nanofillers in PNCs. An overview of the development of 2D nanomaterial-based PNCs, including manufacturing methods, structural applications, and bio-medical applications such as drug delivery, tissue engineering, gene therapy, cancer therapy, and dental composites, is provided in this review. Nanoparticles may be synthesised with a variety of techniques, for example in situ polymerisation, sol–gel processing, mixed melted materials, and composite solutions. The properties of PNCs have been enhanced by including graphene and other 2D nanomaterials, which enable them to be used in energy generation, storage applications as well as tissue engineering. More recently, the introduction of biological functionalities by combining polymers and 2D nanomaterials has opened new possibilities for these advanced nanocomposites in tissue engineering applications. Specifically, because of their increased cell adhesion, growth, and proliferation, 2D nanomaterial-based polymer composites have shown potential as scaffolds for both soft tissue regeneration and hard tissue engineering. Overall, innovative biomedical applications result from synergistic interactions between the polymer matrix and 2D nanomaterials. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
