This book contains most of the contributions from the 5th International Scientific Workshop on Biodegradable Plastics and polymers. The contributions are covering the following subjects:
- snythesis of novel degradation polymers
- enzymatic polymerization
- kinetic and mechanistic aspects of (bio) degradation
- industrial development in degradable polymers
The 5th International Workshop on "Biodegradable Plastics and Polymers", June 9–13, 1998 in Stockholm, Sweden, covered topics in:
- Synthesis and novel degradable polymers
- Enzymatic polymerization
- Renewable monomers and polymeric materials
- Kinetic and mechanistic aspects of (bio)degradation
- Industrial developments in degradable polymers
- Waste management and environmental issues
This book contains most of the contributions from this workshop.
