Introduction -- Biodegradability 2.0 -- Biobased raw materials for biodegradable and/or biobased polymers -- Ecoflex, Ecovio -- Polypropylene carbonate (PPC) and other PCs -- Biobased Polyesters -- (Bio-)Polybutylene succinate (PBS) -- Polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) and other Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) -- Biobased Polyamides: Recent Advances in Synthesis and Applications -- Contribution of biopolymers to circular economy.

This volume presents the recent developments in synthetic biodegradable and biobased polymers. The syntheses of many polymer types such as polyesters and polyamides, and also their processing technologies are discussed herein, and new aspects from fundamental and from industrial research are covered. This combination of both perspectives within this volume will be of interest for many research scientists from academia and industry and also for lectures and teachers. Chapters ''BioPBSTM (Polybutylene succinate)'' and ''Polymer biodegradability 2.0: A holistic view on polymer biodegradation in natural and engineered environments'' are available open access under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License via link.springer.com.
