Title A name given to the resource Roadmap of effects of biowaste-synthesized carbon nanomaterials on carbon nano-reinforced composites Subject The topic of the resource Biowaste; Carbon; PNCs; Porosity; Reinforced composites Description An account of the resource Sustainable growth can be achieved by recycling waste material into useful resources without affecting the natural ecosystem. Among all nanomaterials, carbon nanomaterials from biowaste are used for various applications. The pyrolysis process is one of the eco-friendly ways for synthesizing such carbon nanomaterials. Recently, polymer nanocomposites (PNCs) filled with bio-waste-based carbon nanomaterials attracted a lot of attention due to their enhanced mechanical properties. A variety of polymers, such as thermoplastics, thermosetting polymers, elastomers, and their blends, can be used in the formation of composite materials. This review summarizes the synthesis of carbon nanomaterials, polymer nanocomposites, and mechanical properties of PNCs. The review also focuses on various biowaste-based precursors, their nanoproperties, and turning them into proper composites. PNCs show improved mechanical properties by varying the loading per-centages of carbon nanomaterials, which are vital for many defence-and aerospace-related indus-tries. Different synthesis processes are used to achieve enhanced ultimate tensile strength and mod-ulus. The present review summarizes the last 5 years work in detail on these PNCs and their appli-cations. 2021 by the authors. Licensee MDPI, Basel, Switzerland.
