Abstract

Eco-friendly polymers are biodegraded by microorganisms, making it easy to transform them into safer, more straightforward forms. These biodegradable materials can be used in a variety of industries, including medicine, agriculture, drug release research, food and medication packaging, and articial skin grafts. It prevents environmental accumulation and cannot result in pollution of the land, air, or water.
