, 2022 Significant progress has been made on biopolymers in recent years. Biopolymers are preferred to other materials because they have specific physical, chemical, biological, biomechanical, and degradation properties. Many natural or synthetic biopolymers can degrade hydrolytically or enzymatically and are used for many applications.
