Biodiesel is a clean renewable fuel with many environmental advantages. One of the most important is its good biodegradability and ability to dissolve crude oil and its derivatives. In this paper, we used the CO 2 evolution test to study the biodegradability of biodiesel and its mixtures with fossil

The biodegradation of poly(q-caprolactone) (PCL), poly-h-(hydroxybutyrate) (PHB), and poly-h-(hydroxybutyrate-co-h-valerate) (PHB-V) was assessed based on the mass retention when the polymers were incubated in soil compost at 46 and 24 8C. Biodegradation was greatest at 46 8C for the of three polyme
In advance of a discussion on structural effects on biodegradation, aliphatic polyesters as biodegradable structural materials were classified into four types regarding chemical structure, that is poly(-hydroxy acid), poly(β€-hydroxyalkanoate), poly(-hydroxyalkanoate) and poly(alkylene dicarboxylate)
