Abstract
Researchers are increasingly concentrating on the development of polymer composite materials for electronic applications, transitioning from synthetic polymers to biopolymers in response to escalating environmental concerns over waste management. Nonetheless, polymeric materials exhibit worse electrical characteristics and device longevity compared to inorganic semiconductors and metal conductors. Consequently, several researchers have explored the use of graphene and nanocellulose, along with the hybridization of these materials, to enhance the composites properties. This review article examines the use of graphene and nanocellulose in biopolymer composites, as well as the hybridization of graphene with nanocellulose to enhance biopolymer composites, highlighting its prospective advantages in electrical applications. This paper also explores the applications of these composites in the field of electronics, along with the latest advancements in their fabrication techniques. This review study offers researchers insights into the use of graphene and nanocellulose, as well as their hybridization in composites for electrical applications.
