Biopolymers and Biomaterials

Biodegradable Polymers

Biodegradable polymers mainly refer to plastics those are brittle or break down in nature. Biodegradable and  renewable materials derived from Organic products like poly lactic acid. These are used mainly in the production of drugs; manufacturing of bottles. In industry use for the purpose of packing, medicine, pharmaceuticals. Bio degradable polymers increase their interest in upcoming days. It can be distinguished in two classes those are synthetic and natural polymers these are associated with living organisms. Polymers produced from non-renewable resources like petroleum resources. All biodegradable polymers should be stable and hard-wearing enough for use in their particular application, but polymer disposal happen they should easily break down; specifically biodegradable polymers have very strong carbon backbones that are difficult to break, such that degradation often starts from the end-groups.
