Summary. Polymer nanocomposite materials offer superior alternatives to traditional packaging for food and agriculture by combining flexibility and low cost. The paper reviews how adding functionalized nanofillers like cellulose, graphene, and carbon nanotubes improves mechanical properties, barrier performance, and antimicrobial capabilities. It examines how surface treatments enhance interfacial interactions between fillers and polymer matrices, enabling better biosensing and enzyme immobilization for smart packaging applications.
