Photo-biodegradable polymers degradation products

Four main types of polymer are currently accepted as being environmentally degradable. They are the photolytic polymers, peroxidisable polymers, photo-biodegradable polymers and hydro-biodegradable polymers. Commercial products may be composite materials in which hydrolysable and peroxidisable polymers are combined (e.g. starch-polyethylene composites containing prooxidants). The application, advantages and limitations of each group will be briefly discussed. [Pg.98]

The migration of PAEs from the polymers leads emissions to the environment during their production, transport, storage, manufacture, use, and disposal [8, 15, 40, 69]. Once in the different environmental compartments phthalates are subject to photo degradation, biodegradation, aerobic and anaerobic degradation and, thus, generally do not persist in the outdoor environment [8, 70]. [Pg.315]

Polyethylene oxide) (PEO) is a semicrystalline water-soluble polymer [64, 65], with a crystallinity that is very sensitive to the thermal history of the sample, making this property interesting as an indicator of degradation. Because it is biodegradable and biocompatible, PEO is a good candidate for environmental and medical applications [66-68]. The mechanisms of thermo- and photo-oxidation of PEO have already been investigated [69, 70] on the basis of IR identification of the oxidation products and are summarized in Scheme 10.1. [Pg.255]
