Project Abstract

Abstract
In recent years, there has been a growing global concern regarding the environmental impact of traditional plastics used in packaging materials. As a response to this concern, the development of biodegradable polymers has gained significant attention as a more sustainable alternative. This research project focuses on the investigation of the synthesis and characterization of biodegradable polymers for sustainable packaging applications. The study begins with a comprehensive review of the current literature on biodegradable polymers, highlighting their properties, advantages, and challenges in comparison to conventional plastics. The research methodology involves the synthesis of biodegradable polymers using various raw materials and polymerization techniques. The synthesized polymers are then characterized using advanced analytical techniques such as FTIR spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, and thermal analysis to evaluate their structural and thermal properties. The findings from the study reveal valuable insights into the synthesis process, polymer properties, and potential applications of biodegradable polymers in sustainable packaging. The discussion of the results addresses the limitations of the synthesized polymers, potential improvements, and future research directions in the field of biodegradable polymers. Overall, this research contributes to the ongoing efforts towards developing environmentally friendly packaging materials by exploring the synthesis and characterization of biodegradable polymers. The significance of this study lies in its potential to offer sustainable solutions to reduce the environmental impact of plastic waste while meeting the needs of the packaging industry. This research provides a foundation for further advancements in the field of biodegradable polymers and their applications in sustainable packaging practices.
