Overview

Review demonstrates biodegradation mechanisms across diverse polymer types and environments, highlighting applications in medicine, agriculture, and sustainable packaging.

Key Points

To review the structure, biodegradation characteristics, testing methods, and practical applications of renewable and fossil-derived biodegradable polymers.
Synthesized current literature on biodegradable polymer structures and degradation profiles under diverse environmental conditions.
Assessed methodologies for testing biodegradability, determining toxicity, and implementing chemical modifications to accelerate material breakdown.
Polymer degradation rates depend strongly on intrinsic material properties, structural modifications, and extrinsic environmental factors such as moisture and temperature.
Biodegradable polymers demonstrate functional viability across agricultural films, biomedical devices, and packaging systems to mitigate conventional plastic accumulation.
