Abstract

Environmental engineering science today is witnessing drastic challenges. The domains of engineering and science are moving from one visionary paradigm toward another. In the similar manner, biopolymers and nanocomposites are the ecomaterials of today's research and development forays. Mankind and the vast vision of human scientific endeavor need to be envisioned and readdressed as science and engineering surges forward. Today, climate change, ecological biodiversity, and frequent environmental catastrophes are challenging the vision of science and the vast scientific fabric. The future of human civilization lies in the hands of environmental engineers and scientists. Here comes the scientific truth of application of biopolymers and nanocomposites in environmental pollution control. Mankind's immense scientific grit, the vast technological profundity, and the need of environmental sustainability will lead a long and effective way in the true realization of environmental engineering today. In this chapter, the authors deeply address the importance of biopolymers and nanocomposites in ameliorating the burning issue of water contamination of heavy metals, environmental protection, and industrial wastewater treatment. In this chapter, the authors with cogent insight address the scientific research pursuit in the field of both biopolymers and nanocomposites with a clear objective toward effective proliferation of science and engineering. Human ingenuity, vast scientific ardor, and the vast world of scientific and technological validation are the hallmarks of research endeavor today. In this chapter, the authors deeply focus on the scientific success, the potential, and the technological motivation in the field of smart materials, material science, and environmental engineering. Polymer science and technology and its wide and vast research forays are the other pillars of this well-researched chapter. The challenge and the vision of biopolymers, composites, and nanotechnology are the other facets of this chapter. This chapter will open new windows in the domains of nano-science, nanotechnology, and the relevant fields of environmental engineering in decades to come.
