Abstract

Chemical-base polymers are mostly related to environmental pollution since their poisonous, non-biodegradable wastes, and negatively impact plants, animals, and people. In many locations where petroleum-based plastics are used, bioorganic polymers and biomaterials can play a promising role and are accepted. In one such attempt, glycerol was used as a natural plasticizer, and cornstarch was used to create bioorganic polymers and biocomposites. Resulting in a highly degradable bioorganic polymer in water and soil, display FE-SEM images of a BOP's top and cross-section views, flat surface and smooth, the inner structure of BOP does not demonstrate any bubbles, cracking, flipping, or splitting., estimate the optical band gap indirect of BOP of 3.69 eV that can absorb 96% of UV light and transmit 98 % of visible light. The FTIR assay detects the functional aggregates of the BOP as well as the presence of a hydrogen bond in the BOP matrix. Raman spectroscopy detection composition and scope distribution of the various components in a prepared BOP. The decay constants of BOP were gaged as 12.4 ± 1.8 and 3.49 ± 0.41 for the water and soil, respectively. The decay values show an acceptable variation due to the nature of the BOP on one side and the water and soil on the other side. These findings conclude diverse applications highlighting BOP as a candidate, e.g., UV screening or protective layer, food packaging, and replacing the chemical fertilizer with BOP agent to deliver the organic substances to the plants.
