Nanocomposite and bio-nanocomposite polymer materials have fascinated prominent attention in the energy as well as the medical sector. Their composites make them appropriate for various applications in the medical, energy and industrial sectors. Composite materials are subject of interest in the polymer industry. Different kinds of fillers, such as cellulose-based fillers, carbon black, clay nanomaterials, glass fibers, ceramic nanomaterial, carbon quantum dots, talc and many others have been incorporated into polymers to improve the quality of the final product. These results are dependent on a variety of factors; however, nanoparticle dispersion and distribution are major obstacles to fully using nanocomposites/bio-nanocomposites materials in various applications. This review examines the various nanocomposites and bio-nanocomposites materials applications in the energy and medical sector. The review also covers the variety of ways for increasing nanocomposite and bio-nanocomposite materials features, each with its own set of applications. Recent researches on composite materials have shown that polymeric nanocomposites and bio-nanocomposites are promising materials that have been intensively explored for many applications that include electronics, environmental remediation, energy, sensing (biosensor) and energy storage devices among other applications. In this review, we studied various nanocomposite and bio-nanocomposite materials, their controlling parameters to develop the product and examine their features and applications in the fields of energy and the medical sector.
