Photodegradation Mechanism of Biopolymer Blended with High Density Polyethylene (HDPE)

Synthetic polymer such as polyethylene is used widely in industry, agricultures and daily life owing to its relatively low price and good mechanical and processing properties. These synthetic polymers are, however, often not environmentally friendly because they typically do not undergo the process...

description Synthetic polymer such as polyethylene is used widely in industry, agricultures and daily life owing to its relatively low price and good mechanical and processing properties. These synthetic polymers are, however, often not environmentally friendly because they typically do not undergo the process of biodegradation and, of course, are dependent on a limited petroleum resource. Therefore, concerns on environmental problems caused using of non-degradable petrochemical polymers have caused an increasing interest in degradable polymers especially biopolymers from crop plants. Biopolymers have much potential and several advantages, but they possess some drawbacks as well. Despite increasing production capacity, they are still quite expensive compared to commodity polymers and their properties are also often inferior, or at least do not correspond to the expectation of converters or users. This concept has led to the development blending of biopolymer and High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE).
