Abstract: This chapter provides an overview of methods of modifications of biodegradable polymers especially polylactic acid and polyhydroxyalkanoates for automotive applications. Methods for the modifications of biodegradable polymers such as plasticization and blending with other polymers to make those biodegradable polymers suitable for automotive applications are discussed in this chapter. The exterior and interior parts of automotive, which can be made from biodegradable parts, have been highlighted here. We have also discussed composites and nanocomposites of biodegradable polymers for automotive applications and their advantages over neat biodegradable polymers. The effect of different types of natural fibers and synthetic fillers on the toughness, ductility, and thermal stability of properties of biodegradable polymers is summarized. Prospects of biodegradable polymers and their composites for automotive applications are also discussed here. © 2023 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
