The use of polymeric composite materials from renewable biomass has acquired great importance in different and varied fields. Moreover, itsapplication in the biomedical applications has found a fast development inrecent years. In this context, this chapter is focused on the use fbiocompositesin tissue engineering and analytical applications. The studied materials include polysaccharidessuch as chitosan, cellulose and alginate, as well as polyhydroxyalcanoates as matrixes, and fillerslike nanoparticles,carbon nanotubes or polymers, and among other combinations.
