Synthetic biopolymer

IUPAC definitions

Synthetic biopolymers: human-made copies of biopolymers obtained by abiotic chemical routes.

Artificial polymer: human-made polymer that is not a biopolymer

Synthetic biopolymers are human-made copies of biopolymers obtained by abiotic chemical routes.[1] Synthetic biopolymer of different chemical nature have been obtained, including polysaccharides,[2] glycoproteins,[3] peptides and proteins,[4][5] polyhydroxoalkanoates,[6] polyisoprenes.[7]
