Biodegradable Materials: Fundamentals, Importance, and Impacts

  • Living reference work entry
  • First Online:

Abstract

This chapter covers the fundamentals of the biodegradation process, including its importance and impacts on many strategic areas, such as the environment, health, industry, technology, food, and agriculture. The future trends in this area were also discussed. Significant advancements have been achieved in biomaterials in the last few decades. These biomaterials include ceramics, glasses, polymers, composites, glass-ceramics, and metal alloys. A wide range of biodegradable materials is currently in use. Examples of these materials are the bio-medical implants that are intended to break down or be resorbed by the body so that the implant does not need to be removed after its purpose has been fulfilled. Therefore, several parameters, including mechanical properties, non-toxicity, surface modification, degradation rate, biocompatibility, corrosion rate, and design, should be considered when designing a scaffold.
