Abstract

Filler materials are commonly added to the polymer in the form of particles for various purposes, such as improving properties, to control processing and for economic benefits of the resulting polymer composite material. During the past five decades, much attention was given on synthetic fillers, such as CaCO3, TiO2, Al2O3, CNT and SiC. However, due to the concerns of environmental and depleting natural resources, researchers were started considering alternative fillers to the polymeric materials. They are moving towards green fillers and much advancement occurred in the past two decades. In this report, we focus on the review on the outline of various types of green nanofillers and their effect on the polymeric system. Green nanofillers are categorized based on their source, namely animal, plant and natural source. The latest progress on green nanofillers was also discussed. Their processing methods were discussed, and their effect on thermo-mechanical and physical properties was evaluated. The latest application of these green fillers was also studied.
