What is biodegradable polymer and give an example of a biodegradable aliphatic polyester?
The polymers which decompose on their own by bacterial action are called biodegradable polymers.
Example of a biodegradable aliphatic polyester are Poly-β-hydroxy butyrate-co-β-hydroxy valerate (PHBV). Nylon 2-nylon 6 is another example of biodegradable polymers.
