Define non biodegradable polymers

• Chemistry • Organic Chemistry • Biodegradability Biodegradability We use a lot of polymers each day. From the fabric of your clothes to the plastic of your pen, they make up an important part of our everyday lives. But what happens to polymers when we are finished with them? We have a few different options for polymer disposal. This largely depends on whether the polymer is biodegradable or not.This… Biodegradability • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • We use a lot of polymers each day.

Bio-Based Polymer Hence any study on bio based polymers will draw attention and encouragement of researchers. From: Encyclopedia of Renewable and Sustainable Materials, 2020 Related terms: • Biopolymer • Polylactide • Cellulose • Mechanical Property • Chitosan • Starch • Biodegradable Polymer • Polyester • Polyethylene • Lignin Bio-based polymers also called bio-based resins are obtained from renewable resources (algae, bacteria, microorganisms, plants, etc.). They can be synthetized either directly or through the monomers synthesis that have to be followed by the polymerization. There are many different market available bio-based polymers such as polylactic acid, the poly L lactide, polyhydroxybuturate, polyhydroxyalkalonates (PHAs), polyamide, polypropylene (PP) obtained from bio-based ethylene obtained by converting ethanol, polyethylene terephthalate and all other thermoplastic materials. There are also other bio-based resins partially obtained (polyurethanes with bio-based dyols and bio based epoxy epichlorohydrine from glycerol) that are thermosetting [60–62]. Bio-based polymers are mostly used in packaging applications; their use in more demanding applications is still a great challenge. This can be explained by following evidences: • Poor durability of bio-based matrices in long life applications such as transportation and construction; • Important modifications of existing processes are necessary; • Higher cost of bio-based polymers comparing to oil-based one; and...

Polymers are large molecules composed of repeating structural units called monomers. They are formed through a process called polymerization, where monomers chemically bond together to create long chains or networks. The monomers that make up polymers can be the same or different, and their arrangement and bonding determine the properties of the resulting polymer. Polymers can have a wide range of structures, from linear chains to branched or crosslinked networks. Polymers are essential in many aspects of everyday life. They are used in numerous applications, including plastics, rubber, fibers, adhesives, coatings, and many other materials. The versatility of polymers arises from their ability to be tailored to specific requirements by selecting appropriate monomers and controlling the polymerization process. Biodegradable and Non-Biodegradable Polymers: Biodegradable Polymers: • Definition: Biodegradable polymers are those that can be broken down into simpler compounds by the action of microorganisms, such as bacteria or fungi, under natural environmental conditions. • Decomposition: Biodegradable polymers undergo degradation through enzymatic or microbial activity, which breaks down the polymer chains into smaller fragments. These fragments can then be further metabolized by microorganisms and eventually assimilated into the natural biological cycles of the environment. • Environmental Impact: Biodegradable polymers are considered more environmentally friendly because th...
