In the last decade, biopolymer matrices reinforced with nanofillers have attracted great research efforts thanks to the synergistic characteristics derived from the combination of these two components. In this framework, this review focuses on the fundamental principles and recent progress in the field of aliphatic polyester-based nanocomposites for regenerative medicine applications. Traditional and emerging polymer nanocomposites are described in terms of polymer matrix properties and synthesis methods, used nanofillers, and nanocomposite processing and properties. Special attention has been paid to the most recent nanocomposite systems developed by combining alternative copolymerization strategies with specific nanoparticles. Thermal, electrical, biodegradation, and surface properties have been illustrated and correlated with the nanoparticle kind, content, and shape. Finally, cell-polymer (nanocomposite) interactions have been described by reviewing analysis methodologies such as primary and stem cell viability, adhesion, morphology, and differentiation processes.

In polymer nanocomposites, graphene is possibly the most promising nanofiller. Graphene produces impressive properties for polymers at very low filler content, which makes it highly interesting in building high-performance materials compared to other classes of polymer nanocomposites. Graphene-modified polymer nanocomposites have attracted much attention in scientific literature because of the need of superior materials with desirable properties such as electrical, mechanical, thermal, flame retardant, and gas barrier. Frequent studies have been attempted to produce graphene–polyamide (G-PA) nanocomposites with novel and improved properties. Based on this review, one can identify the synthesis technique and preparation for G-PA nanocomposites, which can further be useful in numerous applications.
