Abstract

Biopolymers square measure natural polymers made by the cells of living organisms. Biopolymers include monomeric units that square measure covalently secure to make larger molecules. Biopolymers square measure polymers made from natural sources. These will either be with chemicals synthesised from biological materials or biosynthesised by living organisms. This square measure created of monomeric units secure along by valence bonds. These monomeric units type larger molecules. As biopolymers square measure derived from living organisms like plants and microbes, they’re a natural resources, not like most polymers that square measure petroleum-based polymers. Generally, biopolymers square measure degradable. They notice use in varied industries starting from food industries to producing, packaging and medical specialty engineering. Biopolymers square measure promising materials because of their characteristics like abundance, biocompatibility and distinctive properties like non-toxicity etc.
