Abstract The biological response to biomaterials plays a crucial role in selecting suitable materials for the formulation and development of tissue engineering platforms. Biodegradation is one properties that considered appropriate biomedical applications. process breaking down large molecules into smaller with/without aid catalytic enzymes. biodegradation chemical absorption, distribution, metabolism, excretion, toxicity (ADMET) small body. Degradation can be followed by assessing physical, mechanical, attributes biomaterials. There are several techniques/parameters targeted when studying degradation biomaterials, with gravimetric analysis, surface erosion, morphological changes being largely employed techniques. However, techniques present few limitations, such as technical errors material solubility mistaken degradation, these infer but not confirm they do provide composition fragmenting/fragmented molecules. American Society Testing Materials (ASTM) guidelines parameters biodegradation. ASTM assessment approaches need updated sufficient evidence draw conclusive decisions regarding In this review, critically reviewed about their advantages disadvantages, suggestions on how still play This review could assist researchers employ cost-effective, efficient, multiple evaluate information Suggested future should include measuring (such chemical, or physical biomaterials) real-time, employing non-invasive, continuous, automated processes.

Poly(lactic acid) (PLA), derived from renewable resources, plays a significant role in the global biodegradable plastic market. However, its widespread adoption faces challenges, including high brittleness, hydrophobicity, limited biodegradability, and higher costs compared to traditional petroleum-based plastics. This study addresses these challenges by incorporating thermoplastic pineapple stem starch (TPSS) modified natural rubber (MNR) into PLA blends. TPSS, waste, is employed enhance hydrophilicity, reduce costs. While addition of TPSS (10 40 wt.%) marginally lowered mechanical properties due poor interfacial interaction with PLA, inclusion MNR (1 10 PLA/20TPSS blend significantly improved stretchability impact strength, resulting suitable modulus (1.3 1.7 GPa) strength (32 52 MPa) for diverse applications. The presence 7 wt.% increased 90% neat PLA. ternary exhibited heterogeneous morphology enhanced adhesion, confirmed microfibrils rough texture on fracture surface. Additionally, downward shift PLA’s glass transition temperature (Tg) 5–6 °C indicated compatibility between components. Remarkably, blends demonstrated superior water resistance proper biodegradability binary These findings highlight potential bio-based plastics, such as MNR, contribute sustainable economic models environmental using packaging
