Journal ArticleDOI
Degradable polyethylene: fantasy or reality.
TL;DR: The state of the art on the aspect of degradability of polyethylene containing pro-oxidants, and more importantly the effect these polymers could have on the environment in the long run are reviewed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of lactic/glycolic acid side chains on the thermal degradation kinetics of chitosan derivatives
TL;DR: In this paper, the thermal degradation properties of chitosan and lactic and/or glycolic acid grafted chitosa have been studied by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and thermogravimetric analyses (TG) in the range of 25-500°C.
Journal ArticleDOI
Degradation product pattern and morphology changes as means to differentiate abiotically and biotically aged degradable polyethylene
TL;DR: Degradation product pattern and morphology changes as means to differentiate abiotically and biotically aged degradable polyethylene have been studied in this paper, where the degradation product patterns and morphology change as a means of differentiation.
Journal ArticleDOI
The three stages in degradation of polymers—polyethylene as a model substance
TL;DR: In this article, the degradative conversion of 14C present in low density polyethylene (LDPE) film to respiratory 14CO2 during a 10-year aerated cultivation with soil is presented.
Journal ArticleDOI
Influence of molecular structure on the degradation mechanism of degradable polymers: In vitro degradation of poly(trimethylene carbonate), poly(trimethylene carbonate-co-caprolactone), and poly(adipic anhydride)
TL;DR: In this article, a degradation study of three aliphatic polymers-poly(trimethylene carbonate) (PTMC), poly(trinear carbonate-co-caprolactone), and poly(adipic anhydride) (PAA)-revealed that these polymers exhibit degradation times from several years to 1 day.
