Biodegradation is the most widely used technology in the field of biomedical science.
 

Other biomedical applications include biodegradation using elastic shape memory polymers.
 

At present, degradable thermoplastic polymer materials can be used in minimally invasive surgery.
 

As temperatures rise, these polymers change shape, resulting in shape memory and degradable sutures.
 

In this way, prostheses can be implanted through small incisions, doctors can easily perform complex deformations, and sutures and other ancillary materials can decompose naturally after surgery.
 

Microbial degradation compost;
 

There is no universal definition of biodegradation, and there are many definitions of composting, causing confusion in terms. They are usually grouped into one category; However, they have different meanings. The natural degradation of microorganisms within organisms, such as bacteria, fungi, and other bioactive substances. Composting is a process of degradation by humans in a specific environment. The main difference between the two approaches is that one process occurs naturally, while the other is human-driven.
