Biodegradable Polymers as Biomaterials
Generally, biodegradable polymers is composed of ester, amide, or ether bonds. These biodegradable polymers can be categorized into two groups based on their structure and synthesis. One of these groups is agro-polymers, or those derived from biomass. The other consists of biopolyesters, derived from microorganisms or synthetically made from either naturally or synthetic monomers.
