Degradation of a Sodium Acrylate Oligomer by an Arthrobacter sp
TL;DR: To determine the maximum molecular weight for biodegradation, the degradation test was done with the hexamer, heptamer, and octamer, which were separated from the oligomer mixture by fractional gel permeation chromatography.
Journal ArticleDOI
Microbial Degradation of Poly(sodium acrylate)
TL;DR: The biodegradability of poly(sodium acrylate) of high molecular weight after uv irradiation was also examined in this paper, showing that polymers having average Mw of 1000, 1500, and 4000 were degraded to extents of 73, 49, and 20% in 2 weeks.
Degradation ofa SodiumAcrylate Oligomer byan Arthrobacter sp.
TL;DR: Poly(sodium acrylate) is a water-soluble andharmless synthetic polymer widely used as a functional polymer in various fields and microbial degradation ofsynthetic polymers hasattracted much interest as a means ofmild and effective wastetreatment, but little information is available on biodegradation ofpoly (sodium Acrylate), whichisconsid- ered highly resistant tomicrobial degradation.
