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

Abstract The significance of biodegradability in the treatment and discharge of waste waters to natural bodies of water is discussed. Various methods of assessing biodegradability are described and their limitations illustrated by a consideration of the characteristics of bacterial growth and metabolism, including the phenomenon of co-

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 ...

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.

The biodegradation of hydroquinone
Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry, 1982AbstractHydroquinone is readily degraded by an acclimated activated sludge unit when present at concentrations of 100 mg/L in synthetic photographic or synthetic domestic wastes. A number of pure cultures of yeasts, fungi, and bacteria were isolated from soil and sludges which can utilize hydroquinone as a sole carbon source.1,4-Benzoquinone, 2-hydroxy-

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 ...

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.

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 ...
