Used in biodegradable plastics for packaging, medical devices, and drug delivery systems due to its biocompatibility and ability to break down naturally in the environment. Commonly applied in sutures, tissue engineering scaffolds, and controlled-release formulations. Also utilized in agriculture for mulch films that degrade in soil, reducing plastic waste. Its mechanical properties and degradation rate can be tuned by adjusting the monomer ratio, making it suitable for various industrial and biomedical applications.
