Polyester-Based (Bio)degradable Polymers as Environmentally Friendly Materials for Sustainable Development

This review focuses on the polyesters such as polylactide and polyhydroxyalkonoates, as well as polyamides produced from renewable resources, which are currently among the most promising (bio)degradable polymers. Synthetic pathways, favourable properties and utilisation (most important applications)...
