Effects of chemical and morphological structure on biodegradability of fibers, fabrics, and other polymeric materials
The biodegradability of polymers depends on several factors. However, the most critical aspects are the accessibility of the structure for moisture and enzyme diffusion and the capacity of the microbes in the environment to assimilate the final monomers. The accessibility of the polymer structure to...
