Abstract:
The production of biodegradable polymers has gained significant attention in recent years due to their potential to address environmental concerns associated with conventional plastics. This research project aims to design and optimize sustainable processes for the production of biodegradable polymers. The study will focus on developing innovative strategies that minimize the environmental impact while maximizing the efficiency and yield of the polymerization process. Various aspects such as feedstock selection, reaction conditions, catalyst design, and purification techniques will be investigated to achieve the desired properties of the biodegradable polymers. The findings of this research will contribute to the development of sustainable and eco-friendly alternatives to traditional plastics.
