The Influence of Factors of a Biological and Physical Nature on the Biodegradation and Physicochemical Properties of Composites Based on Polyvinyl Chloride and Natural Polymers
It has been established that the degree of biodegradation of composites based on polyvinyl chloride and natural polymers by microscopic fungi changes as a function of the chitosan and starch content in the composites. Biodegradation of polymeric material is accompanied with change in its physicochemical properties. A number of physical factors result in an increase in the degree of biodegradation of the materials investigated.
