ABSTRACT
Biopolymers are mostly produced by biological systems such as plants, animals, fungi, and microorganisms, and are involved in plants, animals, and marines as natural building materials for their replication, transmission of foods, and energy transformation. Biopolymers degrade by action of naturally occurring microorganisms, which has been dragging attention in recent years according to their role in various industrial and medical fields. Polymers are classified into two types: biopolymers and synthetic polymers. Different classifications are available for biopolymers based on the origin of the raw materials and their usage. The combination of secondary and primary forces forms polymer structures in biopolymers. Biopolymers are also applicable in food industry and feed additives, plastic industry, as packaging material for many purposes, agriculture, and environment pollution control. Chitosan is the second most abundant biopolymer after cellulose, and is unique and a typical marine polysaccharides. The aim of this study was to develop a process for metal-free conducting biopolymer matrices.
