Abstract

In this chapter, composites are macroscopic-scale materials created by the fusion of two or more materials with various chemical, physical, and morphological components. These materials acquire certain brand-new or enhanced mechanical, chemical, physical, and other properties that are unrelated to those of their constituent parts. To meet some unique uses, these composite materials are created and synthesized. Biodegradable polymers have been the subject of substantial investigation by polymer scientists, and they offer a wide range of potential uses in the field of medicine. Different biopolymers have been created and used in a variety of biomedical applications nowadays. The science and technology of biopolymers are still in their infancy of development, despite the apparent explosion of biopolymers in medical science. Through diligent study and development, there are tremendous prospects for biopolymers to permeate every aspect of medical science. To prepare biopolymers, various polymerization methods and techniques are discussed in this chapter. The focus is on the fundamental characteristics, the synthesis methods, and the biomedical uses of biopolymers. Different processing procedures used for the production of devices have been addressed to produce practical biomedical devices from polymers to suit medical science's requirements. The main focus of this review is on the benefits of polymeric materials-based composite over other traditional materials and how they are used in the biomedical area. Additionally, viewpoints in this area have been highlighted, and conclusions have been drawn. The pertinent literature was gathered from a variety of sources, including books, websites, journal papers, review articles, and Google sites.
