Biodegradable Polymers for Industrial Applications

These times, great attention in academia have been devoted to developing biodegradable materials to solve the problem of white pollution. Currently, biodegradable materials have a significant interest in various technological aspects, including food backing, drug delivery, regenerative medicine, orthopedic, medicine, and modern technological applications. This is due to their eco-friendly, biodegradability, biocompatibility, and high viability at low cost. There are many kinds of these polymers, including natural or synthetic. However, the widespread application of biodegradable materials still has more effort to go. This chapter will highlight and review the recent progress of utilizing these promising materials to provide readers with an intuitive and systematic understanding of biodegradable polymers.
