Abstract
Polymers have an endless scope due to their flexibility, amendment, and modification with the organic and inorganic compounds. There is an intense competition between natural and synthetic biodegradable polymers concerning biodegradability and compatibility with modern technology. Biodegradable polymers play a significant role in sustaining humanity on the earth due to nonenvironmental hazards. These polymers play a crucial role in biomedicine technology, such as tissue engineering, preparation of different scaffolds, drug delivery systems, industrial sector, agriculture, and food packaging. Here, we probed on various applications, challenges, and the limitations of biodegradable polymers in life.
Keywords: Biodegradable polymers, natural polymers, synthetic polymer, biomedical applications, technologicals applications, agriculture, packaging applications.
