Biodegradable Polymeric Materials
Abstract
What can stop the mountain of discarded plastic packaging from growing? One solution to be considered is the development and use of biodegradable polymers. The advantages and drawbacks of various biodegradable plastics, water‐soluble polymers, and natural and semisynthetic polymers are outlined in tis review. The Figure shows a fork made of ECO‐PLA, which is based on poly(lactic acid), after 33 days of degradation. magnified image

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
