Abstract
Ecological biodegradability of aliphatic polycarbonates in different environments was estimated by the clear-zone method with an agar medium containing emulsified polycarbonates. It was found that poly(1,3-dioxolan-2-one) can be degraded by microorganisms in certain limited environments.This publication has 3 references indexed in Scilit:
