Abstract

Polymer mixtures are useful materials that are used in many fields because they have special qualities. But worries about how they affect the environment and the need for long-lasting options have made people interested in using natural materials to improve the qualities of composites and clean up the environment. This study looks into how biosorption, a natural process by which organic materials take in pollution from the environment, could be used to make polymer mixtures better at what they do and how well they work with the environment. The paper focus on the problems that polymer composites cause for the environment, mainly the fact that they don’t break down naturally and can release dangerous chemicals into the environment when they are made, used, or thrown away. This part stresses how important it is to find long-term answers to these environmental problems right away. In paper discuss biosorption is introduced as a possible way to make polymer mixtures better at working with the environment. Biosorption is a cheap and environmentally friendly way to clean up water and air by using naturally occurring biomaterials like bacteria, fungi, algae, and other microorganisms. In the paper new developments in adding biosorption materials to polymer composites. Researchers have successfully added bio-based adsorbents to composite matrices using new production methods like electrospinning and solution casting. This has led to materials that are stronger and better at removing pollutants. Finally, the study ends with a talk of where biosorption-based polymer composites are going and what problems they might face in the future. Researchers can keep making sustainable composite materials that are better for the environment and can be used in more fields by using the special qualities of natural materials, like their large surface area, porosity, and selection.
