About

Biodegradable polymers is a concept and research field focused on polymeric materials capable of undergoing complete decomposition into natural compounds, such as water, carbon dioxide, and biomass, through enzymatic or microbial action under specific environmental conditions. This domain investigates the synthesis, characterization, degradation mechanisms, and environmental fate of such polymers, holding significance for sustainable materials development, waste reduction, and applications requiring controlled material lifespan.
