Biodegradable Thermoplastic Materials
Progress in Rubber and Plastics Technology, 1999The accumulation of plastics waste is a menace of gigantic proportions to the environment. Considering the attractive properties of plastics they will continue to be used in large amounts by the industry and the general public. The strategy to be adopted in this situation is to develop plastic materials that can be easily degraded by the environment ...

Biodegradation of composite materials
International Biodeterioration & Biodegradation, 1996Fiber-reinforced polymer composites were examined for susceptibility to microbiologically-influenced degradation. Composites, resins, and fibers were exposed to sulfur/iron-oxidizing, calcareous-depositing, ammonium-producing, hydrogen-producing, and sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB) in batch culture.

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 ...

Complications of Biodegradable Materials
Sports Medicine and Arthroscopy Review, 2015Metal, plastic, and biodegradable implants can all cause problems. The advantage of the biodegradable implant is clarity in postoperative imaging, easier revision, and fewer concerns about associated tissue damage. Although biodegradable implants do degrade over time, this time varies considerably, depends upon the polymer present, and is often ...

Biodegradable Polymeric Materials
Advanced Materials, 1996What can stop the mountain of discarded plastic packaging from growing? One solution to be considered is the development and use of biodegradable polymers. The advantages and drawbacks of various biodegradable plastics, water‐soluble polymers, and natural and semisynthetic polymers are outlined in tis review.

Angewandte Chemie International Edition, 1999
It is completely plausible that unmodified materials of natural origin, such as the native macromolecules cellulose or starch, are biodegradable. If these materials are modified then degradation may, depending on the degree of modification, be more difficult or even impossible.

Biodegradable Polymeric Materials
2016The ability of polymers to be degraded in physiological environments makes them interesting candidates for various medical applications. Degradation and metabolisation or excretion of polymeric implants can avoid a second surgery for the removal of an implant. They follow a distinct pathway for degradation, depending on their structure.

Biodegradation of Polymeric Materials
2001This paper presents an overview of the current knowledge on the biodegradability of polymeric materials, in particular in relation to degradation under environmental conditions. The significance of defining ‘biodegradation’ and related terms, and complexities associated with the issue are discussed followed by the different aspects of assessing the ...
