Computational and Experimental Study of the Degradation of Plastics
Plastic pollution is one of the most pressing problems of our time. For this reason, intensive research and development work is underway to develop environmentally friendly recycling, reprocessing and degradation processes for plastics. The use of chemical and biological (e.g. microorganisms) processes could be a feasible solution for the environmentally friendly degradation of plastics. This research aim to better understand currently applied degradation processes of plastics and to explore new pathways by using computational and experimental tools and techniques
