Rutgers scientists develop plastics that can break down naturally . . . The advance also allows for programmable degradation — plastics can be engineered to break down over days, months or years depending on how the chemical groups are arranged “Most importantly, we found that the exact spatial arrangement of these neighboring groups dramatically changes how fast the polymer degrades,” Gu said
Biodegradable plastics with expiration date: the solution against . . . The useful life of biodegradable plastics, customized according to each need The technology allows adjusting the decomposition time of these biodegradable plastics according to the needs of each product “By controlling their orientation and location, we can design the same plastic to decompose in days, months, or even years,” detailed Gu
