Abstract

The paper discusses different aspects concerning obtaining, properties and application of appropriate biopolymers for making goods which are degrading under influence of biological media and applicable for medicine as implants and drug components, for biotechnology as carriers for cell, tissue and genetic engineering, and also for packaging materials destroying in the environment. Mechanisms of biodegradation, peculiarities of interconnection of biodegradable goods and their polymeric components with different biological media are considered. Most perspective polymeric materials for making biodegradable polymers are defined, and the information on their production is given.
