ABSTRACT
"Covers recent advances in polymer degradation and stabilization. Focuses on the basics of photo- and bio-degradability. Delineates special and general environmental parameters such as solar irradiation, temperature, and agrochemical exposure. Surveys plastic waste disposal strategies such as recycling, incineration, chemical recovery by pyrolysis,
Part 1 Additives and stabilizers in polymers. Part 2 Mechanism of polymer degradation and stabilization. Part 3 Controlled degradation and stabilization.
