Bio-nanomaterials from Agricultural Waste and Its Applications

Agricultural bio-waste has prompted a lot of study into finding methods to utilize the resources as substitutes for synthetic materials due to its high strength, availability, renewability, low cost, nontoxicity, and biodegradable nature. Bio-nanomaterials receive a lot of interest due to their size, shape, and surface, and they have better physical and mechanical characteristics, which allow them to be used in a variety of fields such as aeronautical engineering, pharmacology, biosensors, and material science. With increased similar properties, seed oils, lignin, lipids, protein, starch, polysaccharide, polyesters, and cashew nut shell liquid (CNSL) vegetable/fruit waste are bio-based raw materials that are suitable for 3-D cross-linked thermally stable structures. Many possible uses for bio-nanomaterials have been investigated, including packaging, adhesives, coatings, automotive, and many more. The objective of this chapter is to provide a brief overview of the development of bionanomaterials from agricultural wastes and their various applications in adhesives and coating industries.
