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.

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 ...

Sports Medicine and Arthroscopy Review, 2015
Biodegradable implants allow clarity in postoperative imaging, easier revision, and fewer concerns about associated tissue damage. It is important to appreciate that different biodegradable materials have different properties and different degradation rates. Faster degradation can be associated with a greater inflammatory response.

Biodegradable Composite Materials (Review)
Russian Journal of Physical Chemistry B, 2020Studies on polymer composites based on polyolefins (polyethylene; polypropylene; their mixtures; propylene–ethylene, ethylene–vinyl acetate, and ethylene–octane copolymers) and various natural compounds were reviewed. The reviewed studies analyzed the influence of various factors on the formation of the biodegradable properties of polyolefins.

Biodegradation of Starch-Based Materials
Journal of Macromolecular Science, Part A, 1995The aim of this study was to compare three different test methods for assaying the biodegradability of starch-based materials. The materials tested included some commercial starch-based materials and thermoplastic starch film prepared by extrusion from native potato starch and glycerol.

Biodegradable material for bladder reconstruction
Journal of Biomedical Materials Research, 1975AbstractThe objective of this study was to develop a biodegradable material for use in reconstructive surgery of the bladder to serve a temporary function until normal regrowth of the host's tissue is completed. The biodegradable material can serve as a base over which the new bladder can regenerate. At the conclusion of the regrowth of the new tissue,

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 ...

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.
