The book entitled Biopolymers is structured in 3 chapters. Chapter one includes the classification of biopolymers as well as the main types of biopolymers (biodegradable natural polymers and biopolymers based on synthetic materials). Biopolymers based on synthetic materials is: polyglycolide acid (PGA) polylactide acid (PLA) poly (lactide-co-glycolide) polycaprolacton poly dioxanone polyurethane polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) polyhydroxyval-erate (PHV) and copolymers polyanhydried and poly( orthoesters). Chapter two includes the use of biopolymers in medicine surgery food biopolymers and the use of biopolymers in industry.
