Biodegradation of oxo‐biodegradable polyethylene
Journal of Applied Polymer Science, 2008AbstractBiodegradation of polyethylene and oxo‐biodegradable polyethylene films was studied in this work. Abiotic oxidation, which is the first stage of oxo‐biodegradation, was carried out for a period corresponding to 4 years of thermo‐oxidation at composting temperatures. The oxidation was followed by biodegradation, which was achieved by inoculating

Current Opinion in Biotechnology, 2001
Widespread studies on the biodegradation of plastics have been carried out in order to overcome the environmental problems associated with synthetic plastic waste. Recent work has included studies of the distribution of synthetic polymer-degrading microorganisms in the environment, the isolation of new microorganisms for biodegradation, the discovery ...

BIODEGRADATION OF TRIETHANOLAMINE
Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry, 1996Abstract Triethanolamine production in the United States exceeds 100,000 metric tons per year. Given this magnitude of production and widespread distribution to consumer product, specialty chemical, and agricultural chemical markets, an understanding of the environmental fate and lifetime of this chemical is warranted.

Biodegradable stents and non-biodegradable stents.
Minerva cardioangiologica, 2009The introduction of the coronary stent in 1986 was one of the most far-reaching changes in the practice of interventional cardiology since its inception in 1977. Despite all the benefits of the using a metallic drug eluting stent (DES), their limitations have generated interest towards biodegradable technology.

Determinants of biodegradability
Quarterly Reviews of Biophysics, 1978As a consequence of the activities of modern industry and agriculture, many made-made organic compounds have found their way into our environment, and by persisting there for varying periods of time have caused concern to society. Why do some chemicals persist while others disappear?

Accounts of Chemical Research, 2011
All living creatures respond to external stimuli. Similarly, some polymers undergo conformational changes in response to changes in temperature, pH, magnetic field, electrical field, or the wavelength of light. In one type of stimuli-responsive polymer, thermogel polymers, the polymer aqueous solution undergoes sol-to-gel transition as the temperature ...

Biodegradation of Biodegradable Polymeric Materials
2023Bioplastics are not just one single material They comprise of a whole family of materials with different properties and applications. According to European Bioplastics, a plastic material is defined as a bioplastic if it is either biobased, biodegradable, or features both properties.Biobased is the material or product (partly) derived from biomass ...

Biodegradability of Tioctilate
Experientia, 1979The biodegradability of Tioctilate (octylthiobenzoate), a new pesticide, has been examined by means of 5 tests. The compound appears to be susceptible to microbial metabolism.

Applied Microbiology and Biotechnology, 1999
The chelating agent ethylenediaminetetraacetate (EDTA) is not degraded by conventional biological and physicochemical methods for the treatment of wastewater and the purification of drinking water. Of the measurable organic compounds it is the one present at the highest concentration in many surface and drinking waters.
