What Are Some Examples of Biodegradable Polymers?

Biodegradable polymers breakdown over time. This can happen through water or by microorganisms and enzymes. Examples of synthetic biodegradable polymers include polyanhydrides, polyorthoesters, polylactide. Examples of naturally occurring polymers include polysaccharides or proteins.

At Chempilots we offer services to synthesize, develop and manufacture custom biodegradable polymers for use in medical device, drug delivery, cosmetics, pharmaceutical, and other applications.
