Abstract

Green and sustainable production has gained popularity as they
have a less impact on the environment. This chapter main goal
is to introduce the characterization, applications and the most
important is to manufacture green polymers. Synthetic
polymers have been the focus of research since the middle of
the nineteenth century. Natural polymers have focused the
attention of numerous researchers due to their attractive
qualities for pharmacological applications. Also there is
opportunity to investigate new polymers for targeted drug
delivery. Although synthetic polymers have many advantages,
their durability has resulted in a global plastic pollution
problem that now poses one of the most pervasive and
extensive threats to our planet's health and future.
Keywords : Synthetic polymer, Sustainable polymers,
