Biodegradable plastics (BPs) are promoted as eco-friendly alternatives to conventional plastics. However, compared microplastics (MPs), they degrade rapidly into biodegradable (BMPs), which may lead a more significant accumulation of BMPs in the environment. This review systematically compares and MPs, summarizes current knowledge on their environmental behaviors impacts ecosystems human health, offers recommendations for future research. detected water, sediments, indoor dust, food, marine organisms, samples. Compared prone transformations, such photodegradation biodegradation, results shorter migration distance across different matrices. Like can adsorb pollutants transport them enhancing toxicity health risks through Trojan horse effect. Studies indicate that negatively impact terrestrial aquatic than MPs by disrupting nutrient cycling inhibiting plant animal growth. In vivo vitro research also shows BMP degradation products increase bioavailability, exacerbating neurotoxicity overall toxicity. findings BMPs' effects remain inconsistent. Further evaluation trade-offs between biodegradability is needed address these uncertainties.

Synthesis, Modification, and Applications of Poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC)

Polymer-Plastics Technology and Materials, Год журнала: 2024, Номер unknown, С. 1 - 40

Опубликована: Ноя. 1, 2024

One of the polymers with biggest production volume is poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC) considering their versatility, durability, lightweight, as well low cost production, plastics have recently become an essential part everyone's daily life. However, increased and usage poses significant environmental problems because incomplete utilization, a lengthy biodegradation period, detrimental effects on living things. This study examines latest findings in PVC research, including its properties, polymerization, modification, recycling, diverse applications. It has been proposed that during along application both inorganic organic thermal stabilizers, can mitigate some basic limiting characteristics PVC. chemistry extended by vast continuous study, mainly chemical transformations this polymeric material. describes modification using different materials active modifying agent. The latter included substitutions, modifications, nucleophilic radicals, removal or dehydrochlorination, grafting polymerizations. PVC's consequences are examined, overview functionalization provided article, discussion main reactivity trends lens recycling.
