Studty of Biopolymers Based on Renewable Resources - A Review

Authors(3) :-Bharati C. Burande, Pravin A. Dhakite, Seema G.Rawat

It is well known that the environmental impact of plastic waste has become a great problem all over the world. Conventional polymeric materials are not easily degraded because they are resistant against microbial attack; they accumulate in the environment and represent a significant source of environmental pollution. These problems caused by synthetic waste have led to the need for developing new polymeric materials that can be biodegradable and biocompatible with the environment, to replace the conventional ones. The continuously growing public concern in the problem has stimulated research interest in biodegradable natural polymers. Over the past years a lot of attention has been paid to biodegradable polymers based on renewable resources because of their wide range of applications in packaging, agriculture or biomedical fields. Microorganisms can produce and excrete good amount of polysaccharides in simple but costly production conditions. A number of polysaccharides produced by microorganisms have either been adopted as commercial products or have the potential for commercialization. This paper aims to present a review regarding the development of biopolymers and biocomposites based on renewable resources, their properties and the area of their application.
