biodegradability

For example, they can be made to have good mechanical properties and the right biodegradability.

In these areas, the goal is not biodegradability, but to create items from sustainable resources.

It is therefore not enough just to examine biodegradability.

And one of the most vexing issues is biodegradability.

The chemical characteristics of the contaminants will dictate their biodegradability.

Environmentalists prefer silk to nylon because of health and biodegradability issues.

There is, for example, no doubt that biodegradability must be progressively revalued.

A biodegradability display features piles of products headed for the dump.

However, complete mineralisation may not be necessary to increase biodegradability to acceptable levels.

To do so, you must ensure that your product passes the minimum legal standards for primary biodegradability.

There is an important difference between biodegradability and biobased content.

But according to academic researchers, environmental groups and industry officials, rapid biodegradability is not much of an advantage except in limited circumstances.

They note, for instance, that soybean ink sellers emphasize its biodegradability.

Certain classes of shape-memory polymers possess an additional property: biodegradability.

More and more biodegradability of drugs are needed.

Safer plasticizers with better biodegradability and fewer biochemical effects are being developed.

Firstly, it introduces more stringent tests for the biodegradability of surfactants.

Over the years, surface and aircraft de-icing fluids have been replaced by substances with higher biodegradability.

Primary biodegradability is the first stage in the breaking-down of surfactants, after which they are usually less dangerous to the living environment.

This should be not surprising as all organic fluorine compounds have extreme stability, and low to zero biodegradability.

Biodegradability has been well studied, and is affected by the isomerization (branching).

Biodegradability is not necessarily environment friendly!

Polysaccharides and saccharides are used due to their non-toxicity and biodegradability.

Nitrates are mainly produced for use as fertilizers in agriculture because of their high solubility and biodegradability.

Some examples of such new properties are fire resistance or flame retardancy, and accelerated biodegradability.
