This review highlights theapplication 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 andrelated applications. First, the physical principles of the most common magnetoactive and electroactive responsesare presented. The materials used to produce magnetoactive and electroactive composites are discussedin the following sections, with particular emphasis on the active filler materials, the matrices, and to representativeapplications that have been developed. Finally, as an essential consideration in this field, the environmentalimpact of the life cycle of the materials has been discussed. This work should serve as a basis forresearchers who are working in the field of magnetoactive and electroactive composites, aiming to contribute tothe needed sustainability improvement in the field, while maintaining or even improving performanceparameters.
