Biocorrosion of Synthetic Plastics: Degradation Mechanisms and Methods of Protection
2020
The mechanisms of microbial action on synthetic plastics are analyzed, with the focus on the most widespread polymers produced on an industrial scale. The effect of microbial enzymes on plastic biodegradation and the role of multispecies biofilms in biocorrosion are considered. The main approaches for protection of synthetic plastics from microbially caused damage are discussed.
