Synthesis of biodegradable polymers from amino acids and their biological degradation
Abstract
The object of this study was to develop quality polymers from protein derivatives and study their degradation. The produced polymers were linear aliphatic, crosslinked aliphatic, and crosslinked aromatic. The degradations were conducted through enzymatic action and microbial action. Kinetic analysis and theoretical modeling were conducted for the polymerization and degradation processes.
