AB  - The current global shortage of oil resources and the pollution problems caused by traditional barrier materials urgently require the search for new substitutes. Biodegradable bio-based barrier materials possess the characteristics of being renewable, environmentally friendly, and having excellent barrier properties. They have become an important choice in fields such as food packaging, agricultural film covering, and medical protection. This review systematically analyzes the design and research of this type of material, classifying biobased and biodegradable barrier materials based on the sources of raw materials and synthesis pathways. It also provides a detailed introduction to the latest research progress of biobased and biodegradable barrier materials, discussing the synthesis methods and improvement measures of their barrier properties. Subsequently, it analyzes the related technologies for enhancing the barrier properties of biobased and biodegradable barrier materials, and finally looks forward to the directions that future research should focus on, promoting the transition of biobased and biodegradable barrier materials from the laboratory to industrial applications.
