Novel Approach in Biodegradation of Synthetic Thermoplastic Polymers: An Overview

Novel Approach in Biodegradation of Synthetic Thermoplastic Polymers: An Overview

Biodegradation is necessary for water-soluble or water-immiscible polymers because they eventually enter streams which can neither be recycled nor incinerated. It is important to consider the microbial degradation of natural and synthetic polymers in order to understand what is necessary for biodegr...
