Project Abstract

Abstract
The increasing environmental concerns and the growing demand for sustainable materials have prompted the exploration of biodegradable polymers derived from renewable resources as a promising alternative to traditional petroleum-based plastics. This research project aims to develop a novel process for the production of biodegradable polymers from renewable resources, focusing on enhancing the sustainability and eco-friendliness of polymer production. The research begins with a comprehensive literature review to investigate the current state of biodegradable polymer production, highlighting the challenges and opportunities in this field. The study then delves into the research methodology, which includes experimental design, material selection, process optimization, and characterization techniques. Experimental investigations are conducted to explore different renewable feedstock options, polymerization techniques, and processing conditions to optimize the production of biodegradable polymers with desirable properties. Advanced analytical tools such as spectroscopy, thermal analysis, and mechanical testing are employed to evaluate the performance and biodegradability of the produced polymers. The findings from the experimental work are discussed in detail in Chapter Four, where the key parameters influencing the polymer properties and degradation behavior are analyzed. The discussion also includes comparisons with existing literature and insights into the potential applications of the developed biodegradable polymers. In conclusion, the research project contributes to the advancement of sustainable polymer production by introducing a novel process for the synthesis of biodegradable polymers from renewable resources. The study highlights the significance of utilizing environmentally friendly materials and processes in reducing the environmental impact of plastic waste. The results obtained from this research offer valuable insights for the development of biodegradable polymers with improved properties and performance, paving the way for a greener and more sustainable future.
