Environmentally acceptable degradable polymers have been defined as polymers that degrade in the environment by several mechanisms and culminate in complete biodegradation so that no residue remains in the environment .the present book gives through information to biodegradable plastic and polymers. This is an excellent book for scientist’s engineers, student industrial researchers in the field of bio-based materials.
