%X In the scope of a more sustainable economy, composite materials based on non-renewable fossil fuel resources
must undergo a rapid reduction and being gradually replaced by more sustainable composites, including biobased
ones, aiming to improved environmental friendliness and biodegradability. This review highlights the
application of biobased polymer composites in the field of magnetoactive and electroactive smart materials,
which are some of the most useful and extended composite materials currently used in sensor, actuator and
related applications. First, the physical principles of the most common magnetoactive and electroactive responses
are presented. The materials used to produce magnetoactive and electroactive composites are discussed
in the following sections, with particular emphasis on the active filler materials, the matrices, and to representative
applications that have been developed. Finally, as an essential consideration in this field, the environmental
impact of the life cycle of the materials has been discussed. This work should serve as a basis for
researchers who are working in the field of magnetoactive and electroactive composites, aiming to contribute to
the needed sustainability improvement in the field, while maintaining or even improving performance
parameters.
