About

Biodegradable materials is the study and development of substances capable of undergoing decomposition by microorganisms into natural elements such as water, carbon dioxide, and biomass under specific environmental conditions. This academic concept investigates the chemical structure, degradation pathways, kinetics, and environmental factors influencing the breakdown process, alongside the synthesis, characterization, and application of such materials. Its significance lies in providing sustainable solutions for waste management and reducing environmental pollution by offering alternatives to persistent, non-degradable materials across various sectors.
