Biodegradation and Mineralization

Polyvinyl alcohol [PVA] is a semi-crystalline water-soluble synthetic polymer made from hydrolysis of polyvinyl acetate. This material is also found to be biodegradable and mineralized in various environments. The degree of solubility and biodegradability as well as other physical attributes can be controlled by varying the MW and the degree of hydrolysis of the polymer [Chauhan, 2012]. [Pg.194]

The disadvantage of polymeric heart valves is their susceptibihty to biodegradation and mineralization. This has somewhat limited the use of PUR for prosthetic heart valves. [Pg.390]

It has been shown using (l- " C-ethyl) tetraethyl lead that this was biodegradable, and that the rate of mineralization was adversely affected by the presence of hydrocarbons that are generally simultaneous contaminants (Mulroy and Ou 1998). [Pg.593]
