✦ Synopsis

Inert and degradable polymers are susceptible to deterioration to varying degrees. The process is slow for inert polymers but can be encouraged to take place quickly or with a predetermined rate by using degradable polymers. Degradable polymers can be inert polymers containing an additive, which thus accelerates degradation," a polymer with a backbone susceptible to, for example, photo-oxidation, hydrolysis, or biodegradation; or a native polymer (biopolymer). Performing biodegradation tests the selection of relevant micro-organisms, the creation of an optimal environment for biodegradation, and the avoidance of the accumulation of toxic compounds during the test, which could affect the viability of the micro-organisms

## Abstract We present a simplified model for calculating the product distribution of degradable polymers which is based on a grand canonical approach. The distribution depends on two physical parameters, the energy of a bond formation and the initial concentration of monomers. Due to its simplicit
