Abstract
Biological polymers are versatile class of chemicals that are either synthesized from biological resource or fabricated by biological systems. Novel biopolymers are classified based on their origin, which includes natural and synthetic biopolymers. Currently, biocompatible and non-toxic biopolymers have been used to develop efficient systems for the applications in different fields. Especially, in recent times, such materials have gained more attention in biomedical field (tissue engineering, wound healing, burn dressing, and fungal infection). These biopolymer composites are efficient in protecting and discharging bioactive drugs including nutraceuticals, pharmaceuticals, enzymes, and probiotics. Hence, this chapter provides an overview of the importance of bio-based polymers, fabricated or degraded naturally, classification, applications and biological activities.
