人们对环境问题的兴趣仍在增长，开发不会对环境造成太大负担的材料的需求也越来越大。人们对废物问题及其对环境的影响的认识唤起了人们对可降解聚合物领域的新兴趣。对于水溶性或水可混溶的聚合物来说，生物降解是必要的，因为它们最终会进入既不能回收也不能焚烧的溪流。重要的是要考虑天然和合成聚合物的微生物降解，以便了解生物降解所必需的内容和涉及的机理。这既需要对生物化学的洞察，也需要对材料和微生物之间的相互作用的了解。现在人们普遍要求聚合物材料来自可再生资源，而不是石化资源。还描述了聚合物和低聚物材料的微生物生产。
The interest in environmental issues is still growing and there are increasing demands to develop materials which do not burden the environment significantly. Awareness of the waste problem and its impact on the environment has awakened new interest in the area of degradable polymers. Biodegradation is necessary for water-soluble or water-miscible polymers because they eventually enter streams which can neither be recycled nor incinerated. It is important to consider the microbial degradation of natural and synthetic polymers in order to understand what is necessary for biodegradation and the mechanisms involved. This requires both biochemical insight and understanding of the interactions between materials and microorganisms. It is now widely requested that polymeric materials come from renewable resources instead of petrochemical sources. The microbial production of polymeric and oligomeric materials is also described.
