RECENT ADVANCES, SYNTHESIS AND CHARACTERIZATION OF BIO-BASED POLYMERS FROM NATURAL SOURCES | PLANT

Synthetic polymers made from crude oils or other petroleum products are detrimental to the environment due to their resistance to degradation, and they account for a significant portion (by weight and mass) of total trash in the world's ecosystem. For the past two decades, scientists have been looking for a compatible alternative to synthetic polymers. Natural sources are frequently thought to have good biodegradability. The features of certain common biopolymers, as well as their synthesis from natural sources such as leaf extracts, seeds, and agricultural waste, are discussed in this review article. Various characterisation approaches, such as FTIR, XRD, and SEM, have also been enlightened, as well as the assessment of their degradation. This review attempts to better comprehend the use of biopolymers in a variety of disciplines, including medicine, cosmetics, and food packaging, all of which play an important role in our daily lives.
