Synthetic polymers do not degrade in the environment for a long time. How can biodegradable synthetic piolymers be made.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Synthetic polymers are quite resistant to environmental degradable prcoesses. As a result, these are accumulated in the form of solide waste materials. These water cause acute environmental problbems and remain undergradable for very long time. The synthetic biodegradable polymers are generally aliphatic polyesters and get easily hydrolysed or degradated as a result of hydroglysis. For example and details, consult section 8
