The spectrum of existing biodegradable materials is still very narrow. Therefore, to achieve greater applicability, research is being carried out on biodegradable polymer mixtures, the synthesis of new polymers, and the incorporation of new stabilizers for thermal degradation, alongside the use of other additives such as antibacterials or new and more sustainable plasticizers. Some studies analyze direct applications, such as shape memory foams, new cartilage implants, drug release, etc. The reader can find several studies on the degradation of biodegradable polymers under composting conditions. However, novel bacteria that degrade polymers considered non-biodegradable in other, unusual conditions (such as conditions of high salinity) are also presented. 606 $aTechnology: general issues$2bicssc 606 $aHistory of engineering and technology$2bicssc 606 $aEnvironmental science, engineering and technology$2bicssc 615 7$aTechnology: general issues 615 7$aHistory of engineering and technology 615 7$aEnvironmental science, engineering and technology 700 $aFerri$b José Miguel$4edt 702 $aFombuena Borràs$b Vicent$4edt 702 $aAldás Carrasco$b Miguel Fernando$4edt 702 $aFerri$b José Miguel$4oth 702 $aFombuena Borràs$b Vicent$4oth 702 $aAldás Carrasco$b Miguel Fernando$4oth 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910764262603321 996 $aAdvances in Biocompatible and Biodegradable Polymers II$93645415 997 $aUNINA
