BIOEDAGRADATION OF THERMOPLASTIC POLYURETHANES

Abstract

Pollution of the environment by the waste of polymers – the planetary problem. Decomposition of waste takes place in the environment during decades and centuries. It is prospectively sustainable to use of plastic biomaterials, which can easily be destroyed in the soil. Starch is one of the cheapest raw materials for the organization of industrial production of biopolymers. Due to its polysaccharide nature, starch is easily digested by microorganisms of the soil
