Abstract
Polymers have an endless scope in the recent era due to their flexibility, amendment, and insertion of organic and inorganic active components into the polymer backbone. There is strong competition between natural and synthetic biodegradable polymers in the sense of biodegradability and compatibility with modern technology. Biodegradable polymers play a significant role in sustaining mankind on the earth due to non-environment hazards. These polymers play a crucial role in the area of biomedicine technology such as tissues engineering, preparation of different scaffolds, drug delivery systems, industrial, agriculture, and food packaging. Here, we probed on an assortment of types of applications, challenges, and limitations of biodegradable polymers in life.
