Can You Give Examples of Biodegradable Nanomaterials?
Biodegradable nanomaterials are designed to break down into harmless substances. Examples include:
- Polylactic Acid (PLA): A biodegradable polymer commonly used in medical implants and packaging. - Chitosan: Derived from chitin, it is used in drug delivery and wound healing due to its biodegradability and biocompatibility. - Starch-Based Nanoparticles: Used in food packaging and agricultural applications due to their natural origin and ability to decompose.
