Abstract

During recent years significant advances have been made in using and development of biodegradable polymeric materials for life applications. Degradable polymeric biomaterials are preferred because these materials have specific physical, chemical, biological, biomechanical and degradation properties. Wide ranges of natural or synthetic biopolymers capable of undergoing degradation hydrolytically or enzymatically are being investigated for many applications. This review aimed to provide an overview for the importance of biomaterials, produced or degraded naturally, classification and applications.
