Abstract:

This article reviews the current research status of the degradation performance of typical biodegradable materials in water environments, and introduces the degradation performance of poly(lactic acid) (PLA) polymer materials (PLA, PLA copolymers, PLA composite materials, etc.), polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA), polycaprolactone (PCL), polybutylene succinate (PBS), poly(butylene adipate?ethylene terephthalate)(PBAT) and carbon dioxide copolymer in different water environments. Finally, summarizes the issues and development directions that biodegradable materials need to pay attention to in the future.

Key words: biodegradable material, water environment, poly(lactic acid), polyhydroxyalkanoates, polycaprolactone, polybutylene succinate
