	abstract = {Natural polymers have greatly impacted the advancement of modern medicine. Natural polymer-based biomaterials are biodegradable. A significant advantage of natural polymers is that they can be broken down and removed from the body after they have served their function. A wide range of novel biomaterials from natural polymers has been investigated to meet new challenges in medical science. Chitosan is one of the natural polymers which have been widely used in the biomedical field. Nanotechnology is one of the most popular areas of current research. In the area of nanotechnology, polymer and metal/metal oxide nanoparticle matrix-based nanocomposites have generated a significant amount of attention in the recent literature. These bionanocomposites have wide-ranging applications in drug delivery and tissue engineering. This paper discusses polymer-metal/metal oxide nanoparticle matrix-based nanocomposite biomaterials and their applications in the biomedical field - that is, drug delivery and tissue engineering applications.},

	abstract = {<p>The development of organic-inorganic hybrids or nanocomposite films is increasingly becoming attractive in light of their emerging applications. This research focuses on the formation of a unique nanocomposite film with enhanced elasticity suitable for many biomedical applications. The physical property measurement system and transmission electron microscopy were used to analyze Pt-Fe3O4 hybrid nanoparticles. These nanohybrids exhibited magnetic effects. They were further exploited to prepare the nanocomposite films in conjunction with a chitosan-g-glycolic acid organic fraction. The nanocomposite films were then examined using standard techniques: thermogravimetric analysis, X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and atomic force microscopy. Tensile strength testing demonstrated a significantly greater elastic strength of these nanocomposite films than pure chitosan films. The water absorption behavior of the nanocomposites was evaluated by measuring swelling degree. These nanocomposites were observed to have substantially improved physical properties. Such novel nanocomposites can be extended to various biomedical applications, which include drug delivery and tissue engineering.</p>},
