Article Synopsis
- The study investigates how two different copolymers, PBS-co-DEGS and PBS-co-BDGA, break down when exposed to a specific enzyme (Novozym 435) in a mixed solvent system for 30 hours.
- Researchers used techniques like H NMR for characterization and performed tests to measure molecular weight and thermal properties before and after the degradation process.
- Results indicated that both copolymers experienced simultaneous end-chain degradation and intramolecular random degradation, with PBS-co-DEGS demonstrating greater enzymatic degradability compared to PBS-co-BDGA as shown by lower thermal stability post-degradation.
