Introduction To General, Organic, And Biochemistry, Chapter 18, Problem 46P , additional homework tip  1

Concept Introduction:

Biodegradable polymers are the specific kind of polymer which can be broken down after its proposed purpose to result within natural byproducts like inorganic salts, gases, biomass and water. These polymers can be found naturally as well as can be made up synthetically as well. Their breakdown mechanism and properties are found out through their particular structure.
