Water is a precious natural resource and its quality availability is essential for the survival of living creatures on the earth. Reliable access of clean and affordable water is one of the most basic humanitarian goals, and is a major global challenge for the 21st century. Nanocomposites are multi-phasic materials, in which at least one of the phases shows dimensions in the nano range (10–100 nm. Water is a precious natural resource and its quality availability is essential for the survival of living creatures on the earth. Reliable access of clean and affordable water is one of the most basic humanitarian goals, and is a major global challenge for the 21st century. Nanocomposites are multi-phasic materials, in which at least one of the phases shows dimensions in the nano range (10–100 nm). Among different nanocomposites, polymer-based nanocomposite (PNCs) have become a prominent area of current research and development. PNCs have lot of advantageous properties such as film forming ability, dimensional variability, and activated functionalities. However, bio-compatibility is an persisting problem during its application. Therefore, a wide spectrum biopolymer-based nanocomposites are explored for dye removal. Chitin, chitosan, lignin, Alginate, cellulose and starch based-nanocomposites have been widely used for the removal of different dyes. They are benefcial for this purpose due to their unique properties such as: • hydrophilicity, • non-toxicity • biodegradability • abundance • easy availability
