Sumario:Over the past ten years, there has been a significant increase in research into the study of nanocomposites. Nanocomposites vary in their physical and chemical properties. In today’s era, eco-friendly, nontoxic, biocompatible, biobased fillers and composites should be synthesized to increase their societal value in various aspects. These materials have seen extensive use across several industries, from biosensors to biomedicine. Great strides have been made in the field of Microbiology, particularly as Antibacterial agents, among these applications. The objective of this review is to present a thorough analysis of several Nanocomposites that reveal promising antibacterial activity. Such Nanocomposites are reviewed in detail, as well as their antibacterial efficacy is discussed.
