Synthetic polymers do not degrade in the environment for a long time. How can biodegradable synthetic piolymers be made. Differentiate between biopolymers and biodegradable polymers and give examples of each type.

Answer» Synthetic polymers are quite resistant to environmental degradable prcoesses. As a result, these are accumulated in the form of solide waste materials. These water cause acute environmental problbems and remain undergradable for very long time. The synthetic biodegradable polymers are generally aliphatic polyesters and get easily hydrolysed or degradated as a result of hydroglysis.

Polymers are made up of small molecules called monomers. Polymer which are formed by one type of monomer is called homopolymer and which are formed by more than one type of monomers are called co-polymers. Natural polymers are biodegradable whereas synthetic polymers may or may not be. Addition or chain growth polymerization involves the repeated addition of monomers to the polymer chain. The monomers are unsaturated compounds and this type of polymerization takes place by ionic (cationic or anionic) as well as free radical mechanism. Condensation or step growth polymerization involves a series of condensation reactions between twomonomers. Each monomer normally contains two functional groups. Branch chain polymers may be condensation or addition but cross linked polymers are always condensation polymers. Which of these are natural polymers?A. ProteinsB. StarchC. Nucleic acidD. All of these
