Over the last few decades, significant advances have been made in the development of biocompatible, biodegradable polymers and materials for medical applications. In general, polymers are called biopolymers if they are biodegradable, biobased, or are materials from renewable resources. However, both terms are not very specific: “biodegradability” needs a closer specification concerning surrounding medium and time, and “biobased” should be combined with a percentage of biomass content used.
