Abstract

Functional biomaterials are being used in many promising industries to improve human quality of life and advance environmental objectives. Consideration has been given to many applications in the domains of medical, electronics, food, and pharmaceuticals. The use of bio-inspired materials enables the creation of more sustainable alternatives that strive to advance environmental preservation while simultaneously ensuring customer satisfaction. It was discovered that biopolymers are used in a number of different industries for the production of a wide range of functional bio-products. These bio-products include organic thin film transistors, organic phototransistors, emitting diodes, photodiodes, photovoltaic solar cells, hybrid dental resins, sustainable medicines, and consumer food packaging. A growth of this magnitude makes it possible to conduct substantial research in order to more inspection of the limitless requests and uses of bio-based composites. In order to fulfill the needs of certain applications, it is necessary to adjust and reassess attributes and parameters– such as hardness, durability, crack toughness, binding, solubility, polarization, plasticity, hydrogen bonding, thermal characteristics, and dielectric behavior. By virtue of their electronic and electrical properties, bio-composites and biopolymers have been put to use in a variety of applications; some includes organic thin-film transistors, electrical applications, electromagnetic insulation, energy harvesting, and thermoelectric processes. Substantial proportions of electronic waste, also referred to as E-waste, are regularly released into the environment due to the continuous growth in the production of electronic devices. Consequently, this leads to substantial environmental and ecological problems caused by the release of non-degradable polymers, hazardous compounds, and toxic heavy metals into the environment. The advancement of biodegradable polymers has significant potential for effectively reducing the environmental burden, since they may be decomposed or absorbed into the surrounding environment without generating any toxic effects. Hence, the purpose of this study is to illustrate the creation of biocompatible composites and their prospective uses in electrical applications.
