Taking inspiration from many published chitosan (Cs)-based biocomposites, this article is written to high-light the significant effect of reinforcing and/or blending Cs polymer with the different constituents to increase various properties (mechanical, hydrophilic, thermal, adsorption ability and stability) of Cs without sacrificing any of its positive properties. It is concluded that the properties of Cs biocomposites with a synthetic constituent have contributed to its rigidity since only mechanical interaction occurred at the interfacial region. Instead of physical interactions, the addition of an organic constituent also promoted the chemical interactions at the interfacial region of the Cs biocomposites. This consequently produced Cs biocomposites with synthetic constituents with relatively low strength and stiffness but high resistance to fracture, whereas the ones with an organic constituent have high strength and stiffness but are very brittle. This review also screens the current applications of Cs-based biocomposites in the field of drug delivery, tissue engineering, antibacterial, food packaging, biomedical, metal adsorption and dye removal.
